Project Profile
- Ducks are raised in sheds which vary
from naturally ventilated (open-sided) sheds to fully enclosed climate
controlled tunnel ventilated houses.
- So, Commercial duck meat production is a
full-time specialized business which requires significant investment in
both time and money.
- The Australian industry processes 8 million
birds annually and is worth an estimated amount of $100 million.
- The major breeds available for meat production
in Australia are Pekin, Mallard ducks, Muscovy, Aylesbury, Runner and Rouen
and crosses of these breeds. The Pekin duck (Anas Domesticus) is the one
predominant breed which is used for meat production in Australia.
- Similar to chicken meat operations, the
capital
investment and development costs for duck
farming depends on some factors, including Land prices, Size of the
enterprise, Service and Infrastructure, Application requirements and Design
considerations.
- For a duck plant of the size indicated 10
acres of land should be ample.
- In figuring on the amount of housing required
for this number of breeding ducks, it is necessary to figure on 2-1/2 to 3
square feet of floor space per bird, 3 square feet being better than 2-1/2.
- This would require a housing space 20 feet
deep by 120 feet long.
- An adequate water supply is must. This will
consist of a well or spring furnishing an ample amount of water, a power
pump and a water supply tank. And also make sure to provide adequate
heating, especially if you are rearing ducklings.
- Investment in the business exclusive of
working capital, i.e., the money in the land and buildings and other
equipment would require under present conditions about $1,000 for each
thousand ducks marketed.
- In other words, in a plant of this size, close
to $30,000 would be invested.
- Make your farm not smaller than 3.5 to 4 sq.
ft for every duck as this will give enough space for the ducks to move
freely.
- As they grow, they need more space, so better
plan to build a shelter that will not hinder their movement as they are
growing.
- Maintain enough number of ducks in a coop as
this will reflect good output during the harvest time.
- Seafood like shrimps, fishes, clamps, shells
etc. are the most common and very nutritious food for ducks.
- However if these are not available, you may
give them a combination of feeds and chicken laying mass.
- To increase their egg production, give your
egg laying ducks with supplementary feed.
- It is said that more than 22
million ducks are being raised in the US each year.
