How to improve the reproductive ability of breeding geese?

Select good breed geese

The selection of breeding geese should not only consider the market demand, but also consider the reproductive performance and adaptability. Select and retain individuals with healthy physique, normal development and outstanding reproductive traits, which accord with the characteristics of this variety. The male geese with strong physique, good semen quality and no miscellaneous hair are selected for breeding.

Strengthen the breeding of reserve geese

The reserve geese before the age of 4 months should be given full feed. If there are grazing conditions, concentrate should be fed as appropriate after full grazing; under the condition of house feeding, the full price feed should be fed regularly and indefinitely, usually 3 or 5 times a day. From the age of 4 months to the reserve geese before laying and mating, it is necessary to restrict feeding, increase the amount of coarse feed and reduce the consumption of concentrate, especially to strengthen grazing, exercise and eat enough green feed. Keep the geese and geese separately. 15-20 days before the start of production and mating, the concentrate supply began to be gradually increased.

Optimize the structure of geese flock

In the production, the old male and female geese should be eliminated in time, and the new geese should be added in time. In general, the utilization life of female geese does not exceed 3 years, and that of male geese does not exceed 4 years.

Adopt scientific supplementary feeding in breeding season

The reproduction of geese has obvious seasonality, which is generally from October to May of the following year. In order to obtain multiple and high quality breeding eggs, scientific supplementary feeding must be carried out. The method is as follows: supplementary feeding 4 times a day at 7:00 and 11:00 in the morning and 3:00 and 7:00 in the afternoon, each with 200g concentrate, plus 0.5kg of grass and vegetable leaves, and 0.25kg of lees, carrots or carrots. Mix the concentrate and coarse materials well.

Full breeding

In general, the male-female ratio of large geese is 1, 1, 4, 6 and 8, respectively. Artificial insemination is the most effective and best method to improve the fertilization rate of breeding geese.

Reasonable lighting

The general illumination time of 13-14 hours can meet the needs of egg laying and breeding of geese.

Feed full-price compound feed

Per kilogram of egg-laying geese, the diet contains metabolic energy of 10.3 to 10.7 megajoules, crude protein of 16% to 17%, and a ratio of calcium to phosphorus of 2.5 to 3 per cent. Matching diets should be based on high-quality green succulent feed and concentrate feed, while supplementing vitamins and minerals. Implement free drinking water and free release of water. In order to improve the egg production and fertilization rate of breeding geese, full-price formula feed should be used to feed breeding geese.

Do a good job in epidemic prevention and control

Vaccination or drug prevention and treatment must be carried out for the common diseases in this area, clean the enclosure once or twice a day, and thoroughly disinfect the goose house and sports ground with disinfectant that is harmless to geese every half a month. Some broad-spectrum antimicrobials should be given regularly in the feed. It is forbidden for non-staff to enter or leave the goose breeding farm, and the staff in the field should carry out strict disinfection before entering the goose farm.
