How to raise geese

Geese are a common kind of poultry, and more and more people are raising them in recent years, so how to raise geese? Let's have a look!

I. selection of sites

When choosing a site, you should choose a site that is in line with local development and land planning, a place with high and dry terrain, plenty of sunshine, and convenient transportation and adequate water and electricity nearby.

There should be a good water source around the goose farm to facilitate the release of water by the geese, and there should be sufficient grass sources near the goose farm, which should be of good grass quality, and the goose farm should be far away from chemical plants and other pollution sources, and away from the main roads, which is more than 1000m away from the main trunk lines and major urban residents, which is conducive to epidemic prevention.

2. Selection of species

The varieties with large body size, tolerance to rough feeding, fast growth and development, short feeding cycle and good weight gain were selected, and the varieties with body weight above 3.5kg at the age of 75 ~ 90 days were required.

III. Feed

Meat goose is a herbivorous waterfowl, with strong muscle stomach and developed cecum, strong ability to digest crude fiber, can use a large number of green feed, such as a variety of weeds, vegetables, forage grass can be used as meat goose feed, so the feeding cost is low.

IV. Feeding and management

First of all, it is necessary to prepare the nursery, which requires good heat preservation and ventilation. Before entering the brood, the nursery should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and overhauled.

Because the temperature regulation ability of goslings is poor and the cold resistance is not strong, it is necessary to maintain the ambient temperature of the nursery, keep warm in winter and prevent heat and cool down in summer.

The relative humidity should also be controlled in the nursery. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to cause diarrhea of goslings, cause a large number of pathogenic microorganisms in the house, make goslings sick, and lead to an increase in Gosling mortality. During the breeding period, it is necessary to strengthen ventilation. Good ventilation can not only keep the goose house temperature and relative humidity suitable, but also keep the goose house air fresh to provide a suitable living environment for goslings and improve the survival rate of goslings.

V. Disease prevention

It is necessary to formulate reasonable immunization procedures according to the local epidemic situation and the actual situation in this field, and strictly implement the immunization plan. At the same time, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive deworming of geese on a regular basis, and choose broad-spectrum, efficient and low-cost drugs for deworming. Do a good job in the control of the environment, strengthen the cleaning work of daily environmental hygiene, change the grass mat frequently, and do a good job in disinfecting the environment inside and outside the goose farm.
