(Baonghean.vn) - Chopped water fern mixed with ground corn and industrial bran to make feed for ducks is a creative method of Mr. Nguyen Huu Thao - owner of a farm with thousands of ducks in Loc Thanh hamlet, Nam Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district. By doing this, Mr. Thao saves 1.5 million VND per day on the cost of buying feed for ducks and the ducks grow quickly and have delicious meat.

| Then mix with corn bran. |
 |
| Mr. Nguyen Huu Thao said that his family is raising 5,000 young ducks, using 250 kg of food per meal, of which water fern accounts for 30%, corn bran 30%, and industrial food 60%. |
 |
| These three types of food are mixed together to feed the ducks. Mr. Thao is currently the only person in Yen Thanh using water fern to prepare food for ducks. |
 |
| Mr. Thao said that by feeding ducks with water fern and corn bran, the ducks will quickly grow feathers, grow quickly and have good meat quality, especially saving costs. If water fern and corn bran were not used, 5,000 ducks would eat 10 bags of industrial bran each day, equivalent to 3.2 million VND, but now they only use 6 bags of bran. Working hard, he saves 1.5 million VND each day. |
