A new model of cage rearing for egg-laying ducks has been innovated, with a constant temperature of 27℃. In Yicheng, Hubei Province, General Manager Xiang is "pushing the ducks onto the shelves". The breeding base is located in Group 8, xin 垱 village, Liuhou town. The person in charge introduced to Chengcheng that in 2021, the company invested in building a fully enclosed duck house with a construction area of 1,500 square meters. It adopts the five-row and five-layer stacked design of Zhengzhou Yuanzhuo Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, raising 40,000 laying ducks. It is equipped with a fully automated constant temperature control system, ventilation system, sprinkler system, feeding system, drinking water system, egg collection system and conveyor belt manure cleaning system, achieving automatic control of the breeding environment, precise feeding and scientific management. The temperature in the duck house is maintained at around 27℃ all year round, making the ducks live very comfortably.
Xiang Chengcheng introduced that compared with the traditional ground-level flat breeding mode, this multi-layer three-dimensional breeding method saves labor. Previously, one worker could manage at most 3,000 laying ducks, but now one worker can manage 40,000 laying ducks. The second is to save land. Traditionally, raising 10,000 ducks requires 8 to 10 mu of land, but now raising 40,000 laying ducks only needs 2 to 3 mu of land. Thirdly, the temperature and humidity are automatically controlled, maintaining a constant temperature throughout the four seasons. This provides a comfortable living environment for the ducks, reduces environmental stress, and facilitates the stable production capacity of the laying ducks. During the production period, the egg-laying rate remains at around 93%. Fourth, full closed management is implemented, effectively ensuring biosecurity and keeping the ducks healthy and free from diseases. Fifth, the manure and sewage are collected and treated centrally through conveyor belts and all are returned to the fields nearby for utilization, achieving "zero" discharge of manure and sewage.
"Ducks in such houses eat well, live well and have a high egg-laying rate. It's also easier for us to manage them." " Xiang Chengcheng said.
