What if the ducks don’t lay eggs in the rain


Laying ducks do not lay eggs in rain is mainly caused by stress, especially laying ducks in the middle of laying are more sensitive to the environment, and different levels of stress will cause different levels of nervous tension and endocrine disorders, eating, drinking, exercise and other abnormal behavior and cause metabolic disorders, resulting in decreased or even stopped egg production. Environmental stress factors (temperature, noise, strangers, etc.) have a direct impact on the growth and development of laying ducks. The severe stress in summer rainy days, especially in thunderstorms, is more likely to cause abnormal responses. The following measures can be taken to reduce the stress of laying ducks

First of all, do not let the ducks get caught in the rain. Lock the ducks in a shed with dry, clean bedding grass to keep them dry and well ventilated. Second, the shed must have proper light to prevent dark stress and maintain proper duck density to prevent crowding stress, the movement of feeding managers must be light and steady. Strangers and animals are strictly forbidden to enter the House to prevent the ducks from being disturbed. Finally, Electrolytic multi-dimension or vitamin E and vitamin C are added to the feed to alleviate the stress reaction.
