How to raise meat ducks to reduce feed costs？
Breeding breeds should be good breeds of meat ducks, which have high genetic potential for production performance, fast growth rate, strong disease resistance, and high utilization rate of feed. The same age and consumption of the same amount of feed, its weight gain ratio Degraded breeds of meat ducks are much faster.
The ambient temperature should be suitable for meat ducks. The suitable growth temperature for meat ducks is 12°C to 24°C. Within this temperature range, ducks can fully and effectively utilize feed. Therefore, try to create conditions, such as adopting captive breeding in winter, sealing doors and windows, and setting up a shed for shade in summer to keep warm or cool down, so as to increase feed remuneration.
The diet should be balanced because all poultry "eat according to energy". When the energy level of the diet is high, the feed intake is less; when the energy level of the diet is low, the feed intake is more. Therefore, the ratio of protein to energy in meat duck feed should be balanced, otherwise, feed consumption will increase, resulting in waste of some nutrients. If the diet is low in energy and high in protein, the protein feed will be wasted as energy consumption.
When raising meat ducks, the cost of feed often accounts for about 82% of the total cost of feeding. Therefore, saving feed is a key measure to reduce the feeding cost of meat ducks and improve economic benefits. Now introduce several methods on how to save feed for breeding meat ducks.

It is a good choice to appropriately add bile acids to the feed. Bile acids can improve the emulsification, digestion and absorption of fat, protect the health of the liver and intestines, and improve the utilization rate of feed. Only the liver can ensure a healthy growth state and obtain more economic benefits.
