Management Technique of Goose Raising in Summer

Goose body covered with feathers, feathers dense, coupled with the accumulation of thick subcutaneous fat, determines the goose cold, fear of heat physiological habits. In summer, the pen is stuffy, the goose breathes faster, the appetite is reduced, and the mosquito and fly harassment, the growth and fattening of the meat goose is seriously affected, and the egg goose often stops laying eggs at this time. What problems should be paid attention to in raising geese in summer?

Management techniques of gosling in summer

Transportation: The temperature of gosling should not be too high during transportation, and it is best to keep it at 25--30℃. Land transportation should be carried out in the morning and evening or at night when it is cool, and more vents should be left around the packaging box. When stacking the packaging box, more gaps should be left between the packaging boxes to maintain air circulation. Rainproof facilities should be provided to prevent rain. Also reduce the density of gosling, such as transport gosling box usually loaded with about 60, in summer should be reduced to about 50. During long-distance transportation, the state of gosling should be checked midway, problems found should be dealt with in time, and the means of transportation, including vehicles and packaging boxes, should be disinfected before transportation.

2. Daily management

1. Drink water and eat in time. After the goslings are transported, they are allowed to rest for a while in the brooding house, and then grouped according to size and strength. The small weak goslings are placed closer to the heat source and allowed to move in the enclosure for a while. When all the goslings can stand and move, they are given the first water, and 0.02% potassium permanganate cold boiled water should be supplied. 5% glucose water should be supplied during long-distance transportation. If the transport time is too long (more than 30 hours), some green and juicy fodder (tender) should be given before drinking water. The forage length is 0.1- 0.2 cm. It should be eaten ad libitum before drinking water. The first time drinking water is very important, to ensure that each goose can drink water, found individual gosling do not drink water, hold its head from the gosling head and neck, thumb and index finger gently fixed gosling beak angle on both sides of the appropriate force, let it open its mouth, water into the water 2- 3 times. After drinking water for the first time, make sure to keep clean and cool water. After drinking water for the first time, let goslings fully move. When goslings show pecking behavior, start feeding. Generally, feed them 24--36 hours after hatching. If it is wet powder, feed them less frequently. Feed them 12 times day and night in the first week, 8 times day and night in the second week, and 6 times day and night in the third week. Every feeding should be mixed with fresh feed, keep feed fresh, increase palatability, ensure the intake of gosling, promote growth.

(2) Ensure the temperature of brood house. Summer daytime temperature may exceed the temperature required for brooding, so ventilation should be paid attention to to keep the air fresh in brooding houses. The temperature at night may be lower than the temperature required for brooding. At this time, it should be heated. It must not take natural temperature brooding because it is summer. Normal brooding temperature: 30--32℃ for 1--5 days, 27--30℃ for 6--10 days, 24--27℃ for 11--1--5 days, 21--24℃ for 16--21 days.

③ Reduce feeding density appropriately. General feeding density: 20--25/m2 at 1--5 days old, 1--5--20/m2 at 6--10 days old, 12--1--5/m2 at 11--1--5 days old, 8--12/m2 at 16--21 days old. The density can be decreased according to the brooding conditions, and the lower limit of density can be adopted.

④ Do a good job of sanitation and disinfection. The brooding house should be disinfected by spraying goose 1- 2 times a week (if the ratio of Baiduxin disinfectant and water is 1:600), and drinking water disinfection once every 2 weeks (if the ratio of Baiduxin disinfectant and water is 1:3000--4000). Clean drinking utensils once a day, wash with 2% sodium hydroxide solution once a week, and then rinse with clean water.

Management techniques of medium and adult geese in summer

1. Medium geese (22--70 days old)

① The general feeding density of medium geese is 4--6/m2, and the feeding density is appropriately reduced according to environmental conditions.

② Change bedding (hay, fine sand or other bedding) in the goose house and keep the ground clean and dry.

3. Set up shade shed or make use of natural shade in outdoor sports field. The ground should be flat and have certain inclination for drainage, so as to keep the ground dry after rain.

④ Feed more clean green feed and keep drinking water clean and cool.

Open the front and rear windows during the day to ensure fresh air circulation, and keep the temperature in the house at about 15℃ at night.

When free breeding, grazing should be carried out in the morning and evening when it is cool, and pay attention to weather changes to prevent rain. The height of grass in grazing land should not be higher than goose body. However, before the goose belly hair is not long, it should be grazed after the dew falls to prevent diarrhea or cold caused by dew wetting the abdomen.

7. Spray disinfection of geese in pens at least once a week and disinfection of drinking water once every 2 weeks.

2. Adult geese (over 70 days old)

(1) The feeding density in the shed should be reduced appropriately (general feeding density is 2 geese/square meter), and the geese can be allowed to spend the night in the playground outside the shed when the weather is good. Shade shed for outdoor playground.

Feeding can be done in the morning and evening when it is cool to ensure that the geese have sufficient feed intake. And appropriate to feed more green feed, ensure that there is clean drinking water.

(3) Disinfect the goose house with spraying once a week and drinking water once every two weeks.

(4) Forced molting can be considered after the production of geese in the north, gradually feeding green feed after molting, preparing for the second laying period (September-October), some geese in the south can be induced by improving the nutrient level of feed and feeding in the middle and late summer, and they can be laid around September.

(5) breeding geese should have a bathing pool (water depth of about 0.5 meters) or use nearby fish ponds, rivers and lakes to bathe at 8- 9 a.m. and 3- 4 p.m. every day.
