For novice breeders, it may not be clear that meat geese are also divided into many breeds, and choosing a good breed equals half the success.

In the selection of meat goose breeds, the breeds with large body size, tolerance to rough feeding, fast growth and development, short feeding cycle, good weight gain and body weight above 3.5kg at the age of 80-90 days should be selected.

At present, the main breeds of meat geese often raised in China are Lion head Goose, Wanxi White Goose, Rhine Goose and so on. Of course, taking into account regional factors, through the use of the above breeds of male geese and local breeds of female goose offspring is also a good choice.

Second, what are the breeding techniques of meat geese?

1. Construction of goose house

It is suggested that goose houses should be built in places with high terrain, sufficient sunshine, convenient transportation, high quality water, convenient water and electricity, and sufficient forage. Of course, it must be in accordance with the local farm construction planning and requirements, so as to avoid losses caused by demolition.

2. Prepare feed

When raising meat geese, there are plenty of feed to choose from. All kinds of weeds, vegetables and forage grasses can be used as feed for meat geese, but it should be noted that ryegrass, bitter chrysanthemum, alfalfa and other forage grasses contain more diosgenins, which are not suitable for feeding meat geese alone.

In addition, in order to achieve a good feeding effect, it is necessary to cooperate with feeding a certain amount of concentrate, and it is necessary to select reasonable formula feed according to the nutritional needs and production performance of meat geese at different growth stages. and according to the local feed resources to select nutritious, low-priced agricultural by-products as feed raw materials, in the formula feed should pay attention to keep the variety of feed. It is best to ensure that there are more than 3 kinds of energy and protein feed in order to complement each other in nutrition.

3. Disinfect and clean the farm regularly.

In order to prevent disease, it is necessary to clean and disinfect the goose house regularly, carry out maintenance, do a good job of environmental control and work, strengthen the cleaning work of daily environmental hygiene, and change the grass mat frequently. Goose farms with conditions should have a matching manure treatment system and adhere to harmless treatment.

4. Regularly deworming the geese

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.

5. Pay attention to the temperature and humidity of the goose house

Goose body temperature regulation ability is poor, cold resistance is not strong, winter to do a good job of keeping warm, summer is to do a good job of heat prevention and cooling. In addition, it is also necessary to control the relative humidity. If the humidity is too high, it is easy to cause diarrhea in geese, and it is also easy to cause a large number of pathogenic microorganisms in the house and make geese sick. Therefore, we must pay attention to the ventilation of the goose house.

Warm reminder: meat geese have a fast growth period and slow growth period. Generally, after 75-90 days of feeding, the meat geese will be put on the market when their weight reaches 3.5kg or above, otherwise the meat geese will grow more and more slowly, eat more and more and reduce the efficiency of breeding.
