Duck Farming - How Farmers Make Millions From Duck Eggs
With growing demand for duck eggs due to their rich nutritional content and culinary versatility, farmers are leveraging advanced farming techniques and efficient supply chains to maximize profits. the process of raising and producing this water bird. This video explores the global scale of duck egg farms. Are you ready to learn with Trending Farm?
Total waterfowl egg production in the world is estimated at about 90 billion (88 to 95 billion), accounting for 6.5% of total poultry egg production. Tyson Foods farm in Arkansas, USA is the largest duck farm in the world, with an area of more than 120 hectares and can raise more than 2 million ducks.
There is a modern and scientifically designed barn system here, ensuring the best living conditions for ducks. A bedding system with mesh panels and thick layers of straw helps recycle organic waste healthily. The ventilation system helps keep the barn well ventilated, keeping ammonia concentration below 15 ppm to help reduce the temperature in the barn. Suitable conditions for adult ducks are temperatures from 8 degrees Celsius to 26 degrees Celsius, ideally from 18 degrees Celsius to 21 degrees Celsius with a relative humidity of 65%.
Ducks are the world's largest waterfowl, spending most of their time living on and near water. In addition to the barn area, here, the owner also invested a lot in designing a system of ponds and water tanks to help waterfowl feel more comfortable. Ensure clean water sources for ducks to grow.
In addition, to increase egg and meat production, farmers will feed ducks synthetic food from ingredients such as corn, rice bran, and synthetic vitamins. Workers prepare duck feed by spraying moisture and mixing 10% Bran concentrate and supplementing with ADE vitamins, Primix complexes and minerals. Female workers will spread food directly on the barn floor or into troughs arranged in the farming area to provide enough food for the ducks all day. An adult duck needs to eat about 0.33 to 0.44 pounds of food per day. Combined with providing clean water every day for this waterfowl species to grow evenly.
Similar to many other poultry species, body weight and fertility are inversely proportional to each other. Therefore, prioritizing body weight will lead to reduced egg production. The farm owner has separated the meat and egg farming areas separately. Ducks usually breed in spring and summer, when the weather is warm and there is plenty of food. Ducks raised for eggs will have a compact, elongated body, be very active and move quickly. They start laying eggs from 4 to 5 months old. They can lay 200 to 300 eggs per year. Farmers will create spawning nests in the form of long troughs or round nests, spread throughout the barn area. Farmers will collect eggs daily, removing cracked, broken or abnormally shaped eggs. Some eggs will be transferred to the incubator area to produce ducklings. Each tray is divided into 9 rows, each row contains about 4 to 5 eggs. Workers regularly check the incubator to maintain a temperature between 37.6 and 37.7 degrees and humidity between 55 and 65%. Eggs need to be stirred evenly throughout the incubation process to ensure the highest likelihood of successful hatching. After about 28 days of incubation, the eggs will hatch into ducklings. They are taken out of the incubator and receive special care until they are eligible to move to the adult duck raising area. Ducklings are very sensitive to temperature and humidity, so the cage needs to be maintained at 26 degrees Celsius and the brooder at 35 degrees Celsius during the first week of age. They need to be provided with food rich in protein and vitamins to ensure nutrition for growth. You can use synthetic food for ducklings. Have you looked at the soft down feathers of ducklings? Do you want to adopt a duckling as a pet? Don't forget to like the video to encourage us before continuing to follow the journey of duck eggs at the food factory.
The remaining eggs after harvesting will be carefully packaged and shipped to a professional duck egg processing factory. Use bubble wrap to wrap each egg individually. Then, place them in cardboard boxes, making sure they're all facing the same direction. These boxes are placed in a medium fixed rack and sealed by workers. They also add packing foam beads around the carton to cushion the eggs better. Finally, the boxes are labeled and shipped to the food factory.
For food factories closer, farmers arrange eggs directly into mesh bags and place them in plastic containers. They are then transported by boat or truck. You are about to enter the process of processing duck eggs into a unique food. Don't change the channel and share with your friends to follow our videos.
Are you curious what's inside a salted egg factory? Let's explore with Trending Farm from the outside to the inside. Workers began using elevators to transport duck eggs into the factory. Egg trays are loaded onto the production line in the food factory. The conveyor system is bringing duck eggs to the washing area. High powered water jets and soft brushes are washing the egg's surface. The duck eggs continue to go through the scanner to check the quality and ratio of yolk and white. Workers remove substandard eggs before salting them.
Besides, another worker will mix salt. Salt mixture includes: red clay, coarse salt, refined salt, clean water mixed well. The mixture is then left to rest for a day.
Workers dip duck eggs into the mixture and put them in baskets. The eggs are wrapped in plastic bags for added moisturizing effects. Food factory will keep them in the warehouse for 30 days. The number of salted eggs in this warehouse is probably up to hundreds of eggs.
After that time, the eggs are sent to the mud washing machine. Roller brush and water jet clean eggshells. Workers then proceed to separate the egg whites. They wash the egg yolks in clean water several times. Salted egg yolks are packaged, stored in cold storage and ready for consumption.
Have you figured out how to prepare dishes from these ingredients? Let's continue watching to see what we will do with them, okay?
Dear friends, salted duck eggs are a dish loved by many people because of their delicious, greasy taste and high nutritional value. The good fat content (HDL) in salted duck eggs is higher than fresh duck eggs, which is beneficial for heart health. They are also a rich source of protein and contain many essential vitamins and minerals that help build muscle in the body.
You can prepare many dishes from this ingredient. Chefs often prepare them into sauce dishes that cover the crispy fried meat, creating a rich and rich flavor. Cakes combined with salted eggs are also very popular, delicious and bursting with taste.
