Tips for breeding Xupu geese in rural areas

Xupu goose is not the best of geese, but it is also a very outstanding goose. In China, it is an excellent meat goose and a high-quality raw material for deep processing. It is the big guy of the goose breed, Xupu goose. Xupu geese are produced in western Hunan, they live in the beautiful countryside, but also excellent species resources, after a hundred years, the breeding of excellent species, today we are talking about the breeding tips of Xupu geese.

First of all, the breeding of Xupu geese should pay attention to the management of the early young geese, the early 30-45 days old: the newly selected breeding geese should be trained and gregarious, mainly by house feeding combined with grazing, according to the pasture grass and the fat condition of the goose flock, the feed should be 50g / day and 100g / day, and the male geese should feed more. The materials are mainly compounding materials, and green materials are used as supplements. Green fodder mainly comes from the cultivation of high-quality forage, which is suitable for planting: hn-mc excellent rye, hn-mc superior alfalfa and so on. In the middle stage (60-90 days old), grazing was the main part, and the whole house feeding period was mainly green fodder and coarse fodder, which was fed three times a day, and the feed was mainly composed of green grass, grain bran, rice bran, wheat bran, corn straw powder and so on. Male geese usually begin rough feeding at the age of about 140 days. In the later stage (after 120 days old): while feeding forage, concentrate should be gradually increased, coarse feed should be reduced, concentrate should be fed 2 to 3 times a day, feed mix should be diversified, and attention should be paid to supplement minerals and vitamins so that geese can eat freely and promote female geese to lay eggs early and produce more eggs. The goose house should be spacious and bright, clean the trough and sink and change the bedding material every day to keep the bedding grass and the house dry. The goose house should be quiet, sanitary, good environment, strictly prevent cold and damp, and pay special attention to the heat preservation of the goose house in winter.

In winter for the management of Xupu geese, farmers should do a good job of cold protection and heat preservation, the cracks and holes in the four walls of the goose house should be blocked, the rear window should be closed with plastic film, and the door should be hung with a cold curtain. When the temperature in the goose house is kept at 10 ℃ ~ 20 ℃, the light should be dark. Before entering the goose, the goose house should be fumigated with formalin 25ml and potassium permanganate 12.5g per cubic meter.

The utilization life of Xupu goose is very long, and the breeding life of breeding goose is longer than that of other domestic birds. Generally speaking, the egg production of female geese increased year by year from the beginning of laying, and began to decrease in the fourth year. In general, the goose laid 15% more eggs in the second year than in the first year, and 30% more eggs in the third year than in the first year. In other words, breeder geese can generally be used for 3 to 4 years. There are also some small precocious geese, such as Taihu geese in China and Kuban geese in the former Soviet Union, whose egg production is the highest in the first year. For these geese, many farmers are used to using the method of "clearing every year" to replace the whole flock, that is, male and female geese are used only for one year, and when a few geese begin to change their feathers at the end of laying, they are eliminated and sold as commercial geese.

Farmers also need to do a good job in disease prevention and control in the whole process of fattening geese, giving priority to prevention. Carefully observe the mental state, dietary changes and fecal color of the geese, and immediately isolate and treat the diseased geese. If avian cholera occurs, penicillin can be injected intramuscularly at a time of 100000 ~ 150000 units twice a day. Influenza can be treated with kanamycin and streptomycin.
