Ducks occupy a special place in increasing and expanding the production of poultry meat products. They are an important reserve for increasing the number of poultry products, including meat, feathers, and down. Ducks are highly adaptable to unstable climatic conditions, making them a promising species for breeding in West Kazakhstan. The study aimed to develop technological methods for intensifying duck meat production in the region. The chemical composition of the primary grain feeds for waterfowl was analyzed to achieve the goal. An experimental formulation for a feed mixture was derived and then used to feed three groups of birds (a control group and two experimental groups). The feed mixture showed high efficiency in increasing the live weight of ducklings. Both experimental groups surpassed the control group in this indicator. The 3rd group, where the nutritional value of the feed mixture slightly exceeded the rest, showed the most significant increase in absolute live weight. The developed feeding technique showed positive results in the intensity of the development of ducklings. Further research can focus on testing the technique on older specimens and improving the economic efficiency of feeding waterfowl.
