Steamed fragrant duck and muscovy duck are also known as "rumen duck", "Mi fragrant duck", and "foreign duck". It is a famous meat type duck. Native to tropical forests in Central and South America, wild muscovy ducks still exist in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and Paraguay. The muscovy ducks raised in our country, as the name suggests, come from overseas. Under the long-term care of the working people in our country, it has been domesticated and become a high-quality meat duck that adapts to the living environment in southern China. Although muscovy ducks have the ability to fly, they have a gentle temperament, heavy movements, and do not like to swim in water for long periods of time. They are extremely suitable for land confinement, so they are widely raised in Fujian, Jiangxi, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, and other places.

1. Sleep protection and moisture-proof. As soon as the ducklings come out of their shells, they are damp all over and particularly afraid of the cold. They should be kept warm in a dry duck cage. Ducklings like to huddle together in a pile to warm each other, and they often use their hands to move them away to prevent crushing or suffocation. Pad leather should be replaced frequently to prevent moisture from causing foot problems.

2.试水刚出亮的雏鸭于喂食前2-3小时，应先 "试水"，即用盆盛水约2厘米深，把雏鸭放水中，只使鸭脚浸到水，任其在水中吞吐和洗涤。这样有助于肠粪，预防干热和剌激食欲。但试水时间不宜过长，以免弄湿羽毛受凉。

2. For ducklings that have just turned bright after water testing, 2-3 hours before feeding, they should first "test the water", that is, use a basin to hold water about 2 centimeters deep, and put the ducklings into the water. Only immerse the feet of the ducklings in the water, and allow them to swallow, vomit, and wash in the water. This helps to clear intestinal feces, prevent dry heat and stimulate appetite. But the water test time should not be too long to avoid wetting the feathers and getting cold.
