Short-necked duck, the most famous and delicious specialty of Nghe An
In Chau Thon commune, Que Phong district, Nghe An province, there is a breed of indigenous short-necked duck famous far and wide.
This is a duck breed with a round body and a shorter neck than other duck breeds. In the past, people here mainly raised short-necked round ducks for family use.
Especially to process into delicious dishes to treat distinguished guests. Anyone who has ever enjoyed it once will remember forever the fragrant, delicious, sweet flavor of the short-necked duck meat. Many people after enjoying it want to buy it as a gift.
In recent years, people in Chau Thon commune have started raising short-necked ducks for commercial purposes to meet market demand.
Among them, Mr. Hoang Van Minh (in Na Ty hamlet, Chau Thon commune) is a household that raises short-necked ducks in large quantities, with high income, and many people come to learn.

To be proactive about breeding stock, Mr. Minh went to many households in the commune to buy short-necked ducks to raise. As the flock of ducks gradually increased, the number of eggs increased, so he created short-necked duck breeds right on the spot, by letting hens incubate the eggs.
Thanks to that, Mr. Minh was able to take the initiative in breeding and started developing a flock of commercial ducks to supply the market.
Mr. Minh plans his duck farming area next to the terraced fields. Here, there is a pen area, a pond and an open area for grazing ducks. Mr. Minh's family raises two breeds of ducks, which are short-necked ducks and long-necked ducks. Of which, short-necked ducks account for 70% of the total flock, more than 500 laying ducks.
Mr. Hoang Van Minh said: "Short-necked ducks have delicious meat quality, moderate weight, are easy to raise, and have few diseases. Short-necked ducks are also very popular in the market.
Many people want to buy them to enjoy but there are none because the people in the area only raise them in small quantities. So I thought about raising this breed of duck to both preserve the genetic source and produce products to supply to the market."

Duck feed is mainly banana tree trunks, chopped elephant grass, mixed with rice bran and corn. All types of roughage are made by the family and are available locally, so input costs are reduced, while the quality of duck meat is guaranteed.
Restaurants and hotels compete to buy the specialty, people say they sell out as much as they can.
Short-necked ducks have a long growth period, weighing 2.2 kg/duck, smaller than long-necked ducks, but the meat quality is better, so the market favors them. Currently, Mr. Minh has more than 400 egg-laying ducks, selling nearly 1,000 commercial ducks each year.
This quantity is still not enough to meet market demand. Customers are mainly restaurants and hotels. In particular, the largest buyers are Vinh city, Thai Hoa town, Nghia Dan district...

Currently, all of his family’s ducks and breeding ducks are produced from eggs laid by the family’s duck flock. The ducks only stay in the pond area, not grazing in the fields or streams.
The duck pen is built airy and clean. Mr. Minh pays great attention to disease prevention for the ducks. The water in the pond is changed continuously thanks to the water pipe system from the source of the stream.
Therefore, the water is always clean and hygienic. Thanks to that, for more than 4 years, Minh's family's ducks have not had any disease outbreaks.
With a selling price of 120,000 VND/kg, many times higher than that of common duck breeds, each year Mr. Minh sells about 2 tons of short-necked ducks, earning over 200 million VND.
