[0048] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0049] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this invention is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. These terms are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a breeding device for improved duck breeds for poultry, including a breeding farm 50, characterized in that it further includes a three-dimensional breeding unit 10, a water circulation and purification unit 20, an environmental intelligent control unit 30 and an excretion mechanism 40 arranged inside the breeding farm 50;

[0051] The three-dimensional aquaculture unit 10 includes a land platform 11, a wading pool 12 and a central corridor 13, with the central corridor 13 connecting the wading pool 12 and the land platform 11.

[0052] The water circulation purification unit 20 includes a water purification rack 21 fixedly installed in the wading pool 12, a water pump 22 installed in the water purification rack 21, a suction pipe 23 fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 22, a purification component fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 22, and a suction pipe 23 with a primary filter screen fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 22 to prevent large particles of impurities from being sucked in. The purification component is also fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 22.

[0053] The environmental intelligent control unit 30 includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a light sensor, and a PLC controller. The PLC controller is used to regulate temperature, humidity, and light. The PLC controller receives real-time data from all sensors and automatically controls actuators such as negative pressure fans, wet curtains, heaters, and LED supplemental lights through built-in control algorithms. This stabilizes the temperature, humidity, light intensity, and light cycle in the breeding house within the optimal parameter range for breeding ducks, creating an "artificial spring" unaffected by external climate.

[0054] The excretion mechanism 40 is located at the bottom of the land platform 11 and is used to excrete feces to the outside of the farm 50.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the land platform 11 is further constructed with a steel frame structure. A slatted floor is laid on top of the land platform 11. The bottom of the wading pool 12 is designed with a slope and a drainage outlet at the lower end. The land platform 11 uses a high-strength galvanized steel frame structure, possessing excellent load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance, perfectly adapting to the humid conditions of the breeding environment. The slatted floor is made of engineering plastic material, with precisely calculated gap widths to ensure that duck droppings fall smoothly without catching the ducks' feet, guaranteeing the comfort of the breeding ducks when standing and walking. This area is mainly used for the breeding ducks to rest, feed, and lay eggs.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the excretion mechanism 40 further includes a conveyor frame 41 fixedly installed in the breeding farm 50. A drive motor 42 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the conveyor frame 41. A drive sprocket is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 42. A drive chain 43 is engaged with the outer wall of the drive sprocket. A driven sprocket is engaged with one end of the drive chain 43. A drive shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the middle of the driven sprocket. A conveyor belt 45 is provided on the outer wall of the drive shaft 44. A plurality of auxiliary shafts are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the conveyor frame 41. The auxiliary shafts are used to support the conveyor belt 45.

[0057] Inclined plates 46 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the conveyor frame 41. The top of the inclined plates 46 extends to both ends of the bottom of the conveyor frame 41. The two inclined plates 46 are symmetrically distributed in a figure-eight pattern. This design forms an effective guide channel, which can accurately guide and concentrate the duck droppings falling from the slatted floor to the middle of the conveyor belt 45, preventing the droppings from falling outside the belt and realizing the efficient collection and transportation of manure.

[0058] The excretion mechanism 40 is located at the bottom of the slatted floor of the land platform 11 and is used to automatically transport duck manure to the outside of the farm 50 to keep the house dry and hygienic. Multiple auxiliary shafts are also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveyor frame 41 to support and guide the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 45.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the purification component further includes a purification cylinder 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water purification frame 21. A filter screen layer 25, an activated carbon adsorption layer 26, and a biological filler plate layer 27 are fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the purification cylinder 24. The filter screen layer 25 is located at the top and uses a stainless steel fine mesh to mainly intercept larger solid suspended matter such as feathers, uneaten food, and floating feces in the water, completing preliminary physical filtration. The activated carbon adsorption layer 26 is located in the middle and uses high iodine value food-grade activated carbon, which can efficiently adsorb small suspended particles, dissolved organic matter, odors, and some pigments in the water, significantly improving the sensory properties of the water and increasing transparency. The biological filler plate layer 27 is located at the bottom and is composed of a large number of porous biological fillers such as biochemical cotton and ceramic rings. Its huge specific surface area provides a place for beneficial microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria and probiotics to attach and grow. These microbial colonies, through their own metabolism, decompose toxic substances in the water that are most harmful to breeding ducks, such as ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and nitrite (NO2⁻), into less toxic substances (nitrate NO3⁻), thus completing the most crucial biological purification of water quality.

[0060] The purification component also includes an ozone generator and an ultraviolet sterilizer. The ozone generator and ultraviolet sterilizer are integrated into the purification component, but are not shown in the figure. They are usually connected in series in the circuit. The strong oxidizing power of ozone and the penetrating power of ultraviolet light can work together to completely kill residual pathogens, viruses and parasite eggs in the water, eliminating the risk of disease transmission through water.

[0061] A pressure relief plate 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the purification cylinder 24. The top of the pressure relief plate 28 is conical and the side wall has a drain hole. The water inlet of the purification cylinder 24 is located at the top of the conical protrusion.

[0062] A method for breeding superior domestic ducks using the above-mentioned device includes the following steps:

[0063] S1. Population Zoning and Introduction: The system is divided into independent zones according to the breeding layer. Healthy, sexually mature ducks of the same breed are introduced, and the male-to-female ratio is scientifically controlled between 1:4 and 1:6 to ensure a high fertilization rate while avoiding excessive male ducks that may cause fighting.

[0064] S2. Water Circulation Management and Water Quality Maintenance: Start water pump 22 and water circulation purification unit 20 to continuously circulate and purify the water in wading pool 12. Maintain the water temperature in the wading pool within a suitable range of 15-25℃ using auxiliary heating or cooling devices. Through the above multi-stage purification system, ensure that the water transparency is always greater than 50cm. Monitor water quality indicators such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite daily, and add fresh water or adjust the circulation volume as needed.

[0065] S3. Intelligent Environmental Control: The intelligent environmental control unit 30 stabilizes the indoor temperature at 18-25℃ and controls the relative humidity at 60%-70%. An LED lighting system simulating natural photoperiods is used to provide a light and dark regime of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness per day, with the light intensity uniformly controlled at 10-15 lux to continuously stimulate and maintain the egg production performance of the breeding ducks.

[0066] S4. Refined Feeding Management and Automated Production: Daily, timed and quantitative feeding with a complete feed specifically formulated for breeding ducks during their reproductive period to meet their nutritional needs. Clean drinking water is readily available via nipple drinkers. An automatic egg collection system (not shown in the diagram) can be installed in the laying nests to collect hatching eggs 2-4 times daily, followed by immediate disinfection. The drive motor 42 of the excretion mechanism 40 is periodically activated to promptly remove feces from the shed, maintaining a dry and hygienic environment.

[0067] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described herein. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention, as well as all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
