Indo-ducks grow a little slower than other varieties of ducks and geese, but they require less food for food, so they are popular in private backyards. The optimal time of keeping is the spring-summer period and the beginning of autumn, when the birds can eat fresh grass. Ducks are slaughtered before the first molt or after its complete end. The process begins 90-100 days after birth. An adult bird becomes after the first laying.

Important: do not slaughter during the molting period, as the skin will be covered with "stumps" with a new feather.

You can shift the time of slaughter up to 4.5-5 months. In this case, the meat will remain tender, but will become denser in texture and fragrant. Indians are white, chocolate, multi-colored. For the first 3 months of life, birds gain about 3 kilograms.

Factors affecting growth

Muteers grow quickly, do not require complex care, however, the condition of the bird depends on a number of conditions:

• hatched chicks need heat and light for intensive metabolism and development;
• it is necessary to maintain cleanliness in the room where the bird is located;
• Indoutk diet is kept balanced and varied;
• high humidity and overcrowding of birds in the duck house should not be allowed;

Food, in addition to green mass, should contain wet mash (cottage cheese, boiled eggs, boiled or steamed corn, s alt, chalk, bone meal, yeast).The poultry house is equipped with ash containers. Little ducklings are fed 7-8 times a day. Three meals a day are enough for adult muteers.

Birds are provided with free access to water. Indians don't need pools to swim in, but they do need a place to splash around.

The birds are equipped with an aviary for walking, which is fenced around the perimeter and covered with a net from above. To protect from rain and wind, a canopy is built. In the duck house for rest and sleep, they build wide beds, instead of a perch they have a wide board.

How long do indoutas grow before slaughter

The timing of slaughter depends on the preferences of the owners. They slaughter before the first molt or wait for it to end. The term of a full molting cycle is 60 days. It should be borne in mind that the growth rate slows down after 3 months. It makes no sense to slaughter birds under the age of 3 months, there is little meat on the carcass.

Indoutok is started in the spring, so that the ducklings have already grown up by the time fresh greenery appears.Birds can be kept until autumn, with an abundance of green fodder, they need a minimum amount of additions to the diet (compound feed, wet mash, mineral supplements). Birds grow up to 3 kilograms in 3-3.5 months, depending on the quality of food.

Some owners leave the mute to grow even after 3 months, however, it should be borne in mind that after the first laying of eggs, the meat of the indochka becomes tougher. A day before slaughter, they stop feeding them to make it easier to gut the carcasses.

Indo-woks have taken root in private backyards due to their unpretentiousness and cost-effectiveness. Muteers provide owners with eggs and meat that is suitable for any age category (except for children under 1 year old). Mute liver is delicious. In warmer regions from April to October (when fresh greens grow) 2 generations of mute mute can be raised if birds are slaughtered at 3 months of age, even if they are not intended to be kept year-round.
