Diversity of rural livestock --
Rural areas are popular areas for animal husbandry, where people not only rely on agriculture for food, but also raise livestock to supplement their income. The cost of animal husbandry is low and stable, and livestock can also provide by-products such as eggs and meat in the breeding process, forming a virtuous circle. Chickens, ducks, geese are the most common domestic animals, especially in areas with waterways, and people prefer to keep ducks. However, there is a duck that is worth far more than the average duck and is called"Noble duck"。Why aren't these ducks farmed on a large scale?Let's start by understanding its value.
Value"Duck nobles"--
These ducks are called"Noble duck", which sells several times more on the market than an ordinary duck. They are much larger than regular ducks, so they sell for a higher price, and their value increases with the length of time they are raised. In addition, the edible value of these ducks is also high. They have always been regarded as a nutritious ingredient, with delicious meat and high nutritional value. Duck meat is delicious and has high nutritional value. It contains a variety of nutrients that the human body needs, with a high protein content and low fat content, so it is popular in the market.

-western duck: the true face of the duck aristocrat --
This duck is none other than the West Duck, also known as Muscovy or Musk Duck. Unlike our common domestic ducks, Muscovy ducks belong to the genus Ducks of the family Gooseformes. This oldest duck is native to the tropics of Central and South America and has been bred in China for more than 300 years. Compared to ordinary ducks, Western ducks are more like geese in the countryside. They have a red tumour on their heads, which are not water-friendly and are not suitable for living in deep water, so they are sometimes called"Landlubbers"。In addition, Muscovy ducks give off a musky scent during the breeding season to attract the opposite sex. It is because of these characteristics that people call it"The most fragrant duck"。In addition, the nutritional value and economic value of muscovy duck are also very high. However, why does no one want to raise them on a large scale?
-Reasons why you don't want to farm.--
First of all, the Western duck is highly aggressive. Although they belong to the family of birds, they are very sensitive to their territory and will attack any intruder, just like the geese in the countryside. This has led to many children being chased and bitten by them. Therefore, many people are reluctant to raise Western ducks, especially when children come home from vacation, which is prone to accidents. Secondly, the cost of raising foreign ducks is high. The price of Western ducks is much higher than that of ordinary ducks, so the ** of the ducklings will also be corresponding**. In addition, the Western duck is larger in size and has a longer breeding cycle. The process of raising Western ducks also requires a lot of expenses, which is not something that many families are willing to afford. In comparison, the cost of raising regular ducks is lower. Finally, Western ducks have a low egg production rate, which means that they do not have enough added value, and the longer breeding cycle means that many people are not interested in breeding them. In addition, the demand for ducks in the market is not high, and many people in rural areas only take the ducks to the market to sell, and there are relatively few buyers. This has led many farmers to be conservative about raising Muscovy ducks on a large scale.
-Conclusion --
As"Noble duck"The value of Western duck is reflected in the delicious meat quality and rich nutrition. However, due to its aggressiveness, high feeding costs, and low market demand, farmers are reluctant to raise this duck on a large scale. Still, for farmers interested in experimenting, raising ducks in the west can still be a way to increase income. The diversity of farmed animals in rural areas provides farmers with more choices, and it is hoped that more farmers can benefit from continuous optimization of breeding technology and broadening sales channels.
