Raising ducks on plastic flooring is a sustainable farming solution for 2026. Let’s explore why—join Kyodo Sojitz as we delve into this topic in this article.

KSF has drawn on notable information from the article “Raising Grimaud Meat Ducks on Biosecure Slatted Flooring in Quang Tri” to share the following insights with farmers:

💰Why should you switch?

Based on the trial results presented in the article, this model offers a breakthrough in economic efficiency compared to traditional methods:

• Rapid growth: Ducks reach a weight of over 3.2 kg each in just 45 days.
• High survival rate: Reaches 95.7% due to effective disease control.
• Increased profitability: Income is 1.5 times higher than that of traditional methods, reaching approximately 18.7–19 million VND per 1,000 ducks.

🛠️ Slatted-floor housing technique – The “key” to biosecurity

The key lies in a smart enclosure design that ensures ducks never come into direct contact with pathogens present in the soil or contaminated water.

🚀 Optimizing the production cycle

Beyond just a single production cycle, this model enables farmers to restock quickly:

✅ A thorough cleaning period of only 15 days between cycles is sufficient to begin the next batch.

✅ Farmers can achieve 4–5 production cycles per year, boosting productivity while maintaining absolute safety.

Furthermore, to ensure Grimaud ducks reach their optimal weight within 45 days, farmers—in addition to providing proper housing—must implement a consistent, high-energy nutritional regimen from the very early stages, using specialized feed for meat ducks from Kyodo Sojitz Feed (KSF).

We hope this article has provided a clearer understanding of the plastic-slatted flooring model for duck farming. If you are currently raising ducks, explore the range of animal feed products from KSF and consult with our technical team to develop a nutritional program best suited to the specific conditions of your farm.
