You can rear ducks for eggs and meat, use their manure as fertiliser, and sell their down and feathers. Ducks are hardier than chickens and are easier and cheaper to keep though, unlike chickens, they need access to bathing water to be able to breed and grow well. This new Agrodok gives practical advice on small-scale duck keeping and also describes how to combine it with fish farming or rice cultivation. Topics covered include breeds and breeding, housing, incubating eggs and raising ducklings, healthcare, feeding, care of products, and keeping farm records. Duck Keeping in the Tropics.
