Important: slaughter during the molt period is not performed, since the skin will be covered with "hemp" with a new feather.

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

Factors affecting growth

Mute ears grow quickly, do not require complex care, but the condition of the bird depends on a number of conditions:

  • hatched chicks need warmth and light for intensive metabolism and development;
  • it is necessary to keep the room where the bird is kept clean;
  • Indo-women keep their diet balanced and varied;
  • high humidity and crowding of birds in the ducklings should not be allowed;

Food, in addition to green mass, should contain wet mash (cottage cheese, boiled eggs, boiled or steamed corn, salt, chalk, bone meal, yeast). The poultry house is equipped with ash containers. Little ducklings are fed 7-8 times a day. For adult mute mongers, 3 meals a day are enough.

Birds are provided with free access to water. Indo-women do not need pools to swim, but they need a place to splash.

The birds are equipped with a walking enclosure, which is fenced around the perimeter and covered with a net on top. A canopy is built to protect against rain and wind. In the duckhouse, wide beds are built for them to rest and sleep; instead of a perch, they have a wide board.

How many Indo-girls grow before slaughter

Slaughter time depends on the preferences of the owners. They hammer before the first molt or wait until it ends. The full molt cycle takes 60 days. It should be borne in mind that the growth rate slows down after 3 months. It makes no sense to slaughter birds earlier than 3 months old, there is little meat on the carcass.

Indo-ducks are started in spring, so that the ducklings have grown up by the time fresh greens appear. Birds can be kept until autumn, with an abundance of green food, they need a minimum amount of additions to the diet (compound feed, wet mash, mineral additives). Birds grow up to 3 kilograms in 3-3.5 months, depending on the quality of food.

Some owners leave the mute ears to grow up after 3 months, however, it should be borne in mind that after the first laying of eggs, the meat of the Indo-duck becomes more rigid. One day before slaughter, they stop feeding them to make it easier to gut the carcasses.

Indo-women took root in private farmsteads due to the unpretentiousness and economy of maintenance. Mutees provide the owners with eggs and meat that suits any age group (except for children under 1 year old). The mute liver is delicious. In warm regions from April to October (when fresh greens are growing), 2 generations of mute ears can be raised if birds are slaughtered at 3 months of age, even if they are not supposed to be kept year-round.
