Mallard duck habits
1 . Love playing water mallards like to inhabit lakes, ponds, reservoirs, rivers and other places where there is water; like to forage in the water, swim in the water, courtship mating. Youxi bathed after eating. By playing water, it is beneficial to the hygiene and growth of feathers and skin. The Mallard has a dense fleece and a well-developed tail gland, which gives the duck a strong cold-water resistance. Even in the harsh winter, it can still bathe in the water. Although Mallard must live in a water environment, it also requires suffocation in a dry place to ensure healthy growth. Inadequate water, excessive humidity in the growing environment, wet, sticky, muddy ground in the playground of the pens, ducks lack of appetite, poor growth, proneness to disease, and increased death. Feeding mallards should not be done with dry cultivation methods, so as to avoid poor feather gloss and dirt build-up on the skin, losing the appearance of mallard feathers and skin. 2 . The Xiquju Mallard still retains the characteristics of wild mallards flying in groups and social groups. They like to live in a cluster. Under artificial rearing conditions, feeding, drinking, inhabiting, and moving water play a collective role, and there are gregarious habits on land or in water. When catching ashore from the river, it is often the ducks in front who have not followed their steps. They must wait for the crowdedness behind them before they are forced to move forward. Individual ducks are occasionally out of the group and will call out "in search of partners." After finding peers, they will quickly catch up with their peers. This habit provides convenience for carrying out group-scale feeding and management. 3 . After the 70th day of flying, the flying mallards have wings that grow long and fly. The wings are long and powerful. They can not only take off from the land, but also take off directly from the water. They fly very far and can fly 5 000 to 10000 meters. Therefore, Skynets and fences should be set up in premises, playgrounds and water fields for breeding mallards to prevent flight. 4 . The mixed green mallard has good digestive physiology characteristics. It has a large esophageal volume and can accommodate more and larger foods. The sense of smell and taste are undeveloped, and the palatability of the feed is not high. The muscle and stomach are developed and can be compared. Grind food quickly; strong foraging ability and omnivorous. Like to eat fish, shrimp, snails, insects and plant seeds, moss fresh, duckweed, green vegetables, grass and so on. In the artificial rearing environment, it is preferable to feed on harder, fine-grained, full-priced feeds, followed by loose, poor-quality feeds, and the powdered feeds are eaten but not much liked. 5. Sensitive mallards are full of nervousness, are responsive, and require warming and cooling of the air. However, it is anxious and timid. It is easily disturbed and squeezed and trampled on each other, affecting egg production and even causing disability. If strangers, animals, and wild animals are approaching, a panicking call will be made and groups will avoid. Suddenly disturbed, they fled in desperation, flew high, or plunged into the grass and the ground. After a long period of calm, they dared to come out. Under artificial rearing conditions, special attention should be paid to preventing aliens, animals, beasts, etc. from invading and disturbing the ducks. 6. The adaptable mallard can adapt to the environment in the tropics and the frigid zone, and the cold resistance is stronger than the heat resistance. In the range of -25°C to 40°C, normal life can be maintained. Therefore, the area suitable for breeding is very wide. As long as a simple shelter is built on the gullies, ponds, reservoirs, and lake shores with running water, and fences and skynets are installed to prevent flight, they can be raised. If waterless, it is also possible to build a pond with a depth of 60 cm to feed. In addition, Mallards have strong resistance to disease, fewer diseases, and high survival rates. As long as a clean and dry feeding environment is given, hatching ducklings from ducklings to slaughtered ducks are rarely affected, and even without vaccines and medications, the survival rate is as high as 95% or more. This is more conducive to intensive farming.
