HOW AND WHAT TO FEED THE INDOUTOK AT HOME, CHOOSE A DIET

Muscovy ducks (Indoor) come from South and Central America, but they are no less popular in European countries. They stand out among other breeds of ducks with high-quality meat, as well as fatty liver, which belongs to the delicious foods. There is an opinion that this is a hybrid of a turkey and a duck, but if we consider the musk duck in such a context, it is rather a transitional stage between the duck and the goose, because it has all the basic qualities of each of these birds. Indeodites are almost omnivorous, but certain rules and norms of feeding should be followed. Today we will talk about how to feed small Indo-chicken, and what adult Indo-dogs eat at home, about adding different feedings to the diet of birds, as well as about forced molting of Indo-ducks.

How to feed small children in the first days of life

Indoutyata does not require special care, but proper feeding will not be superfluous. Feeding Indo-ducks in the very first days of life is a kind of starting point, which is very important for the further full development of the bird. The digestive tract will begin to function with the first feeding, and it must be correct, so that later there will be no problems in its work and in the assimilation of nutrients. The first meal of indouout is a hard-boiled and finely chopped egg. It is necessary to pour the ducklings back, because in the first days of their lives, they react only to food that moves.

Important! On the first day of life, you need to feed an Indouten at least 8 times.

It is necessary to drink water with the addition of a small amount of potassium permanganate, and in order to teach indoutiat to drink, you will need to dip them in water with your beaks, tapping on the tray with water. The next day you can add corn, oat or barley flour to the egg. On day 3, it is recommended to introduce low-fat cottage cheese in a small amount (no more than 5 g per individual), finely chopped green onions, spinach, green beet tops, slightly crushed grain. From 4 days of age you can give finely chopped boiled meat waste. Watering with potassium permanganate continues.

Interesting! The first mention of musk ducks found in literary sources in 1553 among the ancient Aztec. Over time, they spread throughout Africa, Eurasia and Australia.

Nutrition features indouut up to twenty days

In a diet of indouout for up to twenty days, various nutrients, vitamins and mineral supplements must be present. At home, the source of these components is a variety of greens. Nutrition indoutiat during this period consists of wet mash from the mixed feed with the addition of finely chopped nettle leaves or other greens on whey or yogurt, or on the basis of meat and fish broths. Also in the mash it will be useful to add zucchini, cabbage, pumpkin, boiled potatoes and other root crops.

All wet mashes must be crumbly, as the sticky ones clog the breathing passages in the birds' beaks, which can lead to many diseases; drinkers at a distance of 1.5-2 m from the feeders; use fresh feed, no traces of fermentation or rotting; dairy waste, give only after their complete fermentation; under no circumstances give musk ducks fresh bread, as it contains a large amount of yeast, activating the fermentation processes in the stomach, which are bad for growth and development of indouout.

Indo-Nutrition Diet

Adult Indoouts are almost omnivorous. This suggests that it is not difficult to make a diet for indoutok. Poultry cucumbers, carrot and beet tops, potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin, cabbage, corn, wheat and rye are especially popular in the diet. You can feed the indoutok also with oats and barley, but it is necessary to fill them with water and so give them to the bird. Muscovy ducks can stay on the pasture (greens) obtained from grazing without any problems for a long time, and if there is still a reservoir next to which a duck will find various insects and worms, then they may not need a feeder in the house.

Important! It is impossible to give hot water and food to indute even in winter.

In winter, it is recommended that birds prepare the daily rate of wet mash with greens and grain, which must be soaked beforehand. It is very important to follow the watering of ducks, especially during the laying period. One hen should take about half a liter of water per day.

For nutrition, birds need different feed. In feeding, indoutok are popular grain feed, animal feed, succulent, mineral and vitamin, as well as technical production waste.

Did you know? Muscovy ducks were brought to the territory of the USSR from the GDR in 1981, and in 1988 they were brought again, but from France. There they are called "barbarian ducks".

Adding feed to the diet, as vitamins and minerals affect the nutrition indoutok

Feeding indoutok can not do without vitamin and mineral supplements. Such additives are very relevant in the winter and early spring, because then domestic ducks suffer from a deficiency of biologically active substances. With the help of such dressings you can increase meat gain, egg production. In order for the bird's organism to develop normally, it needs to receive in sufficient quantities macro- and microelements, such as: chlorine, calcium, manganese, iron, and others.

Calcium musk duck gets from such dietary supplements as chalk, small shell, crushed egg shells, even wood ash, which has lain for about a month in the open air, which must be sifted before feeding to get rid of bad impurities.

The required amount of phosphorus indioutki obtained from the added to the diet of fish or meat and bone meal.

Adding to the diet of poultry simple salt will provide in her body the desired level of sodium and chlorine, which will improve the appetite. But feeding the duck with salt crystals is not necessary (large particles can burn the gastric mucosa), salt will be enough to dissolve in water.

When a bird sheds, it needs to be fed with more nutritious food and foods that contain sulfur (flax, beans, oilcake, cabbage, fish scales). Trace elements such as iron, copper, iodine birds are obtained from green fodder, cereals and beans, and animal products. Vitamins also occupy an important place in the feeding of musk ducks.

Vitamin A is needed to stimulate the growth of indiotki and regulate metabolism, found in milk, egg yolks, fish oil.
Vitamins of group D activate the development of bone tissue and egg shells, as well as regulate phosphorus-calcium metabolism, they are contained in fish oil.
Vitamin E is needed to normalize the function of the organs of reproduction and enhance the output of toxic products of fat metabolism. They are rich in: oats, barley, corn, soybeans, eggs, green grass.
Vitamin C is involved in metabolism, accelerating the process of changing feathers and healing wounds. Contained in carrots, green feed, grass meal.
Vitamin H supports normal nutrition of the skin and fat metabolism of the liver. They are rich in beans and peas.
Vitamin B1 is useful for the metabolism of carbohydrates and the normal activity of the nervous system. Present in soy flour, bran, oilcake, whey.
Vitamin B2 is needed for normal growth, egg production and productivity of indoutok. A lot of this vitamin in greens, sprouted grains, brewer's yeast and dairy waste.
Vitamin B3 is necessary for the normal state of the nervous system, protein and fat metabolism, neutralization of toxic substances. This vitamin is available in cake, grass meal and animal feed.
Vitamin B4 prevents overdose in poultry. Contained in beets, legumes and cereal seeds.
Vitamin B5 is needed for metabolism, activation of the nervous, cardiovascular and food systems. They are rich in carrots, cabbage, potatoes, green grass and bran.
Vitamin B6 is necessary for the regularization of protein metabolism, blood formation, blood coagulation and skin nutrition. Contained in herbal flour and animal feed.
Vitamin B12 takes part in blood formation, metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, breeding chicks, affects egg production. It is found in fish meal and animal feed.

How to feed a hawk for forced molting

To achieve forced molting can be a steep change in the regimes of feeding, watering and lighting. This is necessary to cause stress in the bird, and, as a result, it ends egg-laying and starts molting. For forced molting, it is recommended to adhere to the prescribed diet of indoutku per day and follow a specific procedure:

On the first day, remove the food, leave water and light.
On the second day, exclude feed, water, and light.
On the third day, give 50 g of grain, water, and turn on the light for 3 hours.
On the fourth day, remove the food and water, turn on the light for 3 hours.
5 -19 days - put water constantly, let's feed at the rate of 100 g of grain per bird per day and turn on the light for 4 hours (from 8 to 12).
20-30 days - the grain will gradually be replaced with compound feed, at the rate of 100 g of feed per bird per day, and turn on the light for 6 hours.
30-40 day - feeding should occur at the rate of 130 g of feed or 20 g of grass meal per head per day, and turn on the light for 8 hours.
From 41 days it is necessary to gradually increase the delivery of feed to 200 g, and then feed "plenty." Light day increase by one hour per week, adding 30 minutes on Monday and Thursday until you reach 14 hours (from 8 to 22).

So, it is not difficult to grow an indoutok at home, you just need to follow the above rules of care, and your bird will always be healthy and productive.
