About animals

When feeding and fattening ducks and geese, it is important to be aware of the differences between the main nutritional requirements. Experienced breeders are familiar at least with the basic differences between geese, ducks and Muscovy ducks.

Small-scale animal husbandry is also characterized by a certain degree of “folk creativity.” This mainly concerns technologies and techniques used in housing and feeding animals. Some of these practices have shown such positive effects that they have become routine in these farms. Other habits, however, are less suitable and may cause problems with the performance…

The breed was developed in the county of Sussex, located on the southern coast of England. Today it is distributed worldwide; in our country, the white variety with black Columbian markings is the most commonly kept.

People who have at least the minimum conditions for it, are now deciding to contribute to a healthier diet by producing their own plant and even animal products. Home-produced eggs are the most frequent animal products produced at home. This raises the question: How to do it?

We can divide people who raise ducks into two types. One type purchases three-day old ducklings every year and raises them until they are ready for slaughter. The second type is professionally engaged in raising ducks, not only for producing meat, but also for their ornamental qualities, which some breeds are distinguished by, and devotes…

Many factors affect egg production – laying by hens – internal (e.g. genetics, the health of the hen or its age), and also external (e.g. feed, temperature of the environment, amount of daylight). Some factors we are able to influence and we will then complain a little less that our hens are not laying.

They have been bred since time immemorial in southern France. It is a rangy, medium-weight, fast-growing goose with a peaceful temperament, hardy constitution and compact, strongly-built body carried slightly at an angle, suitable for feeding up for fatty meat. It is reared in grey-brown (wild) and white colourings.

From the viewpoint of zoological taxonomy, turkeys are in the class birds (Aves), the order Galliformes, the family Phasianidae and the genus Meleagris.

If you want your rabbit to perform its best at an exhibition, it must have an optimal condition, weight and perfect supple and shiny fur. Only then the animal can show its beauty conditioned by the genetic makeup in a range of external signs including color and texture. “Perfect” nutrition is one of the core…

The order Lagomorpha (sometimes somewhat inaccurately translated simply as “hares”) is a taxonomic group of small mammals. It consists exclusively of herbivorous species and is today largely cosmopolitan in distribution. The above-mentioned order includes two families – Leporidae (hares and rabbits) and Ochotonidae (pikas). While pikas belong to rare and endangered species, selected representatives of…
