We bring waterfowl cooking tips.

Waterfowl (river and diving ducks and geese) in the warm season is more susceptible to spoilage than upland game, so it must be gutted no later than 1-2 hours after shooting. In the colder season (October, November or March) in the northern and middle latitudes, the game is more resistant and can be gutted in 5-6 hours. You can not throw the waterfowl caught on the wet bottom of the boat. Ducks should be laid out on the stern or bow, covered from the sun with reeds, branches. When carrying and transporting dead birds, it is recommended to use nets or baskets to ensure good ventilation.

And yet, waterfowl is caught mainly in the warm season, so keeping it fresh presents significant difficulties. First of all, due to the dense and low heat-conducting plumage, the carcasses cool slowly and retain their lifetime heat for a considerable time. In addition, the contents of the gastrointestinal tract of waterfowl are extremely unstable and easily cause damage first to the intestines, and later to the carcass. The initial treatment of carcasses consists in removing blood from the wounds with dry rags, paper or moss, then removing the entrails through a small incision, cleansing the cavity of the carcass from blood and rubbing the walls of the internal cavity with salt. Salt is also poured into the oral cavity. As in the case of upland game, it is not recommended to remove the intestines with a wooden hook through the anus. Tampons from grass or branches are put into the oral cavity, preferably from juniper.

Do not fill the abdominal cavity of waterfowl with needles or grass: it is better to wipe the abdominal cavity with a cloth or gauze moistened with 5-10% table vinegar.

In places with a sharply continental climate, where at night the temperature drops to zero, and during the day it rises to 18-20 ° C, half-gutted waterfowl, cooled at night on the soil and covered from the sun during the day, was preserved without the use of preservatives for up to 2-3 weeks.

Non-gutted ducks and geese were kept at the average daily air temperature:

  • 10,8-11,8°С -5 days;
  • 7,4-8,4°С -7 days;
  • 2,3-2,8°С-10 days.

The same gutted birds lasted 2,5 times longer. Here is a method that preserves a bird for four days. Cold brine (for 4 liters of boiled water 1 kg of salt) is poured with a pipette into the incision of the windpipe at the head of the duck, if it does not have through wounds of the lungs and windpipe. 150 g of brine is poured into the teal, 250-300 g into the mallard duck. Then the throat is tied with twine, the incision is sprinkled with salt and kept in this form for 10 hours. After that, the twines are removed, hung by the paws and wait until the brine flows out. Together you can process 10 ducks per hour.

Storage for 5-7 days

Various methods can be used to keep game fresh for 5-7 days in warm weather.

1. Salting by sprinkling in a pen

As you know, the meat of healthy, restless and undepleted animals is sterile and for some time has bactericidal properties, preventing the development of bacteria. The bactericidal period in meat can be extended by introducing a strong saline solution into it: 100-32 parts of salt are taken per 34 parts of water.

Freshly caught game (duck) at the hunting site is subjected to partial cutting, that is, the removal of internal organs through a small incision in the abdominal cavity. Then, with a conventional medical syringe, a saline solution is injected into the deep layers of the muscles of the legs, chest, as well as into the bases of the articulation of the wings, into the back and neck in an amount of 10% of the approximate weight of the carcass. The abdominal and oral cavities are thoroughly washed with the same saline solution.

Carcasses processed in this way are wrapped in wrapping paper and stored in a dark room. Salted duck meat retains all the properties of fresh unsalted game, since the amount of salt introduced is not high. This method of settlement is the most perfect and does not cause loss and leaching of the constituent parts of the meat.

2. Storage in specially adapted pits

For this purpose, near water bodies where the temperature of the earth is especially low (which is especially typical for sandy soils), holes are dug out with a depth of about 1,25-1,5 m. water penetrated). Game carcasses are stored in these pits either suspended or laid out in one row without touching each other. During the day, the pits should be covered with a thick layer of branches, and at night open for ventilation and cooling.

The hunter needs to remember that in warm weather conditions, waterfowl last for an extremely short time and, as a rule, should be used or preserved while still fresh, immediately after being hunted.

Methods for long-term storage of waterfowl are no different from those for upland.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Lithium for the treatment of mental disorders 04.11.2016

Lithium, one of the key elements of ancient mineral springs, has proven to be an effective tool in the fight against mental disorders. Scientists were able to find out exactly how lithium therapy affects brain cells and whether it can return a person to a state of peace of mind.

Back in the second century AD, the Greek physician and philosopher Galen advised patients suffering from mental disorders to bathe and drink water from hot springs. Modern scientists have long believed that Galen's prescription is much more than a placebo. Lithium, often found in mineral springs, has been recognized as an effective mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder for decades, but how the therapeutic effect is achieved has only become known more recently.

A team of neuroscientists led by Ben Cheyette from the University of California at San Francisco conducted research and found that lithium has a positive effect on the "spikes" of dendrites - the processes of nerve cells, through which the transmission of nerve signals is carried out. Lithium therapy restored a significant number of nerve cells in laboratory mice that carried genetic mutations similar to those found in people with autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

The therapy not only restored nerve cells, but even removed the symptoms of the disease: the mice lost their low motivation, high levels of anxiety, and social interactions with healthy individuals normalized.

"The study proves that there is a correlation between the ability of lithium to change not only behavioral abnormalities, but also dendritic anomalies of the spine. We can conclude that mental disorder may be somehow associated with a violation of the nervous structure in the spine," said Scott Soderling, a neuroscientist. from Duke University in North Carolina.

If lithium therapy pays off, it can be a very effective drug in the fight against mental disorders and help to socialize many patients.
