Goose breeding technology and feeding management

In the goose farming industry, understanding the different growth stages of geese and their specific feeding needs is key to ensuring healthy growth and improving production efficiency. Let’s learn about goose breeding technology and feeding management .

1. Key points for raising geese at different stages

1. Gosling stage

Goslings are the first goslings after hatching and are extremely sensitive to their environment and nutrition.

Feed : Provide feed designed specifically for goslings, ensuring it is high in protein, energy and essential amino acids. At the same time, vitamins and minerals are added to support its rapid growth.

Temperature: Make sure the goose house is warm to meet the goslings' need for high temperatures and promote healthy growth.

Drinking Water: Supply clean, fresh drinking water to prevent dehydration and ensure that the goslings are well hydrated.

Disease prevention and control: Regular vaccination can enhance the immunity of goslings and reduce the risk of disease.

2. Young goose stage

Young geese are the intermediate stage in the transition from goslings to adult geese.

Feed: Provide feed rich in appropriate amounts of protein and energy to meet their growth and development needs.

Drinking Water: Maintain a clean drinking water supply and clean drinking water equipment regularly.

Exercise Space: Provide ample exercise space to promote the healthy development of muscles and bones.

Environmental hygiene: Keep the goose house clean, clean up the feces and change the bedding regularly, and maintain sanitary conditions.

3. Adult goose stage

Adult goose is the mature stage, when the goose begins to lay eggs.

Feed: Gradually switch to a goose feed containing the appropriate amount of protein, energy and nutrients to support their production needs.

Drinking water: Ensure the supply of clean drinking water and ensure the hygiene of drinking fountains.

Nest: Provide a dry, clean nest to provide a comfortable egg-laying environment for the geese.

Stocking density: Reasonably control stocking density to avoid overcrowding and reduce stress.

2. Goose breeding technology

1. Choose high-quality goose seedlings

It is very important to select goslings with good growth and development because they directly affect the brooding effect. Because goslings have poor temperature regulation ability and weak digestion and stress resistance, they must strictly follow technical specifications, control the temperature, humidity, and density during the brooding stage, and provide timely water and food.

2. Reasonable group feeding

According to the carrying capacity of each acre of pasture, the breeding density should be reasonably arranged to avoid affecting the growth of geese due to excessive density. As the geese grow, the number of geese per square meter is gradually reduced from 20 at one week old to 15 after two weeks of age to ensure that the geese have appropriate growth space.

3. Scientifically prepare fattening feed

In winter, after 40-50 days of feeding, when the main wings of the geese grow out and their body weight reaches 2.5 kg, they can be intensively fattened for 20-30 days using a high-energy, low-protein diet to reach a body weight of 5 kg. Example of feed formula: 35% corn, 30% corn starch, 20% rice bran or grass meal, 6.5% sorghum , 3% shell powder, 0.5% salt, 1% sand, and 4% soybean meal.

4. Pay attention to nutritional supply

Geese are herbivorous animals that feed mainly on plants. In addition to grazing and allowing the geese to freely eat non-toxic, odorless wild grasses and forage, it should also be combined with forage planting to improve economic benefits. At the same time, use additives such as quick supplements and cod liver oil to improve immunity and repair intestinal mucosa.

5. Pay attention to calcium absorption

Calcium is essential to the health of geese, and strong cod liver oil can be used regularly to prevent soft feet caused by calcium deficiency. At the same time, combined with the use of products such as Subu 21, the vitamins needed by geese can be supplemented to prevent emergencies, enhance immunity, promote rapid recovery, and improve ketone body quality and feather gloss, thereby improving feed conversion rate and fattening effect.

To sum up, these are the key points of goose breeding technology and feeding management. By controlling each breeding link well, the efficiency and quality of goose breeding can be effectively improved, ensuring the healthy growth of the geese and meeting the market standards as soon as possible.
