Technology of raising geese at home

The whole body of goose is a treasure, which has high comprehensive utilization value, simple feeding, high input-output ratio, low risk and economic benefit, which is better than raising chickens and ducks. Raising geese is to exchange grass for meat, and geese eat all kinds of grass, which can make use of a lot of green fodder and some roughage. This is determined by the physiological characteristics of the goose. The myogastric pressure of the goose is half as much as that of the duck and twice as large as that of the chicken. Depending on this strong exercise and sand grinding, the cecum of the goose contains more microorganisms, which can make the cellulose fermented and decomposed into lower fatty acids. It makes cellulose easy to dissolve and absorb. The absorption rate of crude protein in grass by geese reached 76%. The feed for raising geese has a wide range of sources, convenient price and low cost. The goose has good adaptability, strong disease resistance, low requirements for environmental conditions, and does not need a good house. Except for the goslings, the temperature in the house can be kept above 0 ℃ in winter.

There are few diseases in geese, and there is a great threat to infectious diseases in poultry rearing. According to the type of natural infection rate, geese are 1 / 3 less than chickens. The production cycle of geese is short and the effect is quick. Generally speaking, there is a production cycle from birth to slaughter in herbivorous livestock and poultry. In herbivorous livestock and poultry, it takes 18 months for cattle, 6 months for mutton sheep, 3.5 months for meat rabbits, and the shortest production cycle for geese is 3 months. At present, the production cycle of most goose breeds in China is 70 Mel 80 days. Geese are gregarious and easy to manage. The goose is docile, does not run and jump randomly, is convenient for grazing and courtyard management, does not necessarily occupy strong labor, and can be raised by old, weak and women.

The breed of geese

Variety is the internal cause that determines the benefit, good planting produces good seedlings, good seedlings bear good fruit, and good fruit has good benefits. With regard to the problem of raising goose breeds, it can be said that China is rich in goose resources, with only 12 listed in the national poultry breed list, as well as some varieties. For example, Guangdong Province is used to raising local gray geese, Shitou geese, Wuzong geese, Magang geese and other meat quality. Anhui likes to raise wild geese and Wanxi white geese. Although it lays 40 fewer eggs, the breeder geese can be divided into 4 laying periods, which can lay eggs and hatch meat geese in four seasons. Jiangsu Province is used to raising Taihu geese, laying more eggs (more than 60), like geese about 2 years old on the market, the meat is tender. The northeast likes to raise Huoyan geese and seed geese, laying more than 100 eggs a year. Zhejiang Province raises eastern Zhejiang white geese, which has the advantage of laying about 150 days earlier, laying eggs and hatching to produce meat geese in four seasons, and its 60-day-old body weight can reach 3.5 kilns. Although the annual egg production of Xupu geese raised in Hunan is less than 30, the meat yield is high, the semi-clean chamber is 87.3%, the body weight is more than 3 kilos at the age of 60 days, and the fat liver performance can reach 600 grams.

Sichuan Province likes to raise Sichuan white geese, and has a balanced performance of laying eggs, meat and wool. It is the first choice for general scale breeding, with an annual production of 60,000 eggs. * * due to poor climatic conditions, they raise Yili geese and raise them extensively. Most of them fly away to find their own food during the day and come back to feed at night. They are the only geese in China that have evolved from gray geese. If the breeding environmental conditions are changed, this goose has great potential for production performance. Extensive breeding produces 1020 eggs a year. What kind of breed to raise depends on the production purpose and economic benefits combined with the local natural conditions to choose goose species. If we mainly produce fatty liver and fatty liver sauce, we should raise lion-headed geese, Xupu geese and French Lande geese or their hybrids. If we specialize in the export of goose fatty liver, we should mainly raise Lande geese. If the main purpose is to produce goose meat, hybrid geese will be used.

The choice of goose house site

1. There is plenty of water.

2. There is a feed production base for planting green feed. High-quality forage can provide 60%-80% dietary nutrition for geese.

3. The environment is quiet, the air is fresh and shaded by trees.

4. Stay away from villages and towns, which is conducive to health and epidemic prevention.

5. The goose house should be built in a high-dry, flat or gentle slope, south or southeast, and the soil should be sand with good permeability, so that the sun shines well and is conducive to drainage, as well as heat, moisture and cold protection. It can not only build a simple shed, surrounded by bamboo fences or rough nets, but also use ditches, rivers and other mobile water sources to build shacks in ditches and riversides. The goose house with rotating wood structure should pay special attention to the problem of ventilation and heat dissipation in summer. the front and rear walls need to be set up with upper and lower rows of ground windows, and the lower edge of the lower row windows should be 30 cm from the ground.

Construction of goose house

1. Nursery. It is required that the heat preservation in the house is good, the air is well ventilated, and there is no wind in the house. The daylighting area and floor area of the window are 1 / 10 / 15. It is appropriate to breed 15 goslings under 20 days old per square meter in the nursery.

2. Fattening house. The house is equipped with scaffolding, divided into single-row type and double-row type, divided into small columns, each column is about 10-12 square meters, which can accommodate 60-80 medium-sized adult geese.
