Avian Production Management

INTRODUCTION

• In India ducks are reared under semi-intensive and range systems for egg production.
• Only the surplus males and culled females are used for meat.
• Due to higher feed consumption, poor feed efficiency and more space requirement for ducks as compared to chicken, duck rearing in India at present under intensive system may not be economical. Hence a project report for 200 ducks under free range system has been worked out hereunder.
