玛塔玛塔附近养鸭越来越受欢迎

保罗·克努森(Paul Knudsen)以前是一名奶农,自2011年以来,他已在占地34公顷的土地上转向养鸭。他曾经给70头奶牛挤奶,但在2018年停止挤奶,现在专注于肉鸭。

农场饲养了33,000只北京鸭子,分为三个棚子,每个棚子里有六个年龄组的5,500只鸟。这些鸭子从出生到加工经历了42天的周期。

保罗确保将鸭子的数量控制在业界建议的每平方米18千克以下。每周,农场都会收到一批一天大的小鸭,并将年龄较大的鸭子送去处理。

这些小鸭从带暖气的育雏室开始,然后搬到更大的棚子里。最初给它们喂的是高蛋白碎屑,10天后会变成种植者的饲料。该农场使用自动喂料系统,并设有饲料储存仓。

保持鸭子的清洁和安全是当务之急。所有棚屋均防啮齿动物,访客必须使用消毒足浴。淡水由地下泉水供应,不给鸭子服用药物或激素。对于床上用品,他们使用木屑,这些刨花会定期更换和消毒。用过的刨花被邻居当作肥料。

但是,由于建筑行业的变化,采购刨花已成为一项挑战。这促使保罗尝试了芒草(一种草)作为替代床上用品。他发现鸭子更喜欢它,尽管它在棚子里传播稍微困难一些。

最后,克努森的农场与剑桥的 Quackaduck 有联系。它们是供应本地和国际市场(包括太平洋、中东、菲律宾和日本)的网络的一部分。Quackaduck的马修·休斯顿证实,该业务利润丰厚,现金流稳定,适合那些熟悉

牲畜的人。
