(Baonghean.vn) - Chopping water fern and mixing it with ground corn and industrial bran to make duck feed is a creative method of Mr. Nguyen Huu Thao - the 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 duck feed 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 and fed to 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 grow quickly, have good meat quality, and especially save costs. If water fern and corn bran were not used, 5,000 ducks would eat 10 bags of industrial bran per day, equivalent to 3.2 million VND, but now they only use 6 bags of bran. By working hard, he saves 1.5 million VND per day. |
