Duck rearing creates silent revolution in Panchagarh

PANCHAGARH, Sept 1 (BSS): Duck rearing has created a silent revolution in poultry industry in the district.
Many people are now opting for duck rearing as it brings more profit with low capital.
Md. Azizul Islam, owner of Aziz duck farm at Majapara village under Debiganj upazila said he set up a farm at his house to rear cattle and incurred heavy losses as cattle died in large number after being infected with various diseases at his farm.
Later, he started duck rearing collecting ducklings from Pabna. He said his farm now has 3,000 ducklings along with the big size ducks.
The poultry farmer said he supplies ducklings by his own transport to different villages in the district.
By rearing cambell ducks, he has already drawn attention of many people who have also become interested in doing the same.
Upazila livestock officer Dr. Amol Chandra said rearing of cambell duck on commercial basis has begun in the upazila of the district now.
