Key points for raising goslings

First, choose the goslings. The strong goslings are characterized by lively behavior, bright eyes, sensitive response, good yolk contraction, stable standing after dry hair, strong call, and rapid contraction of feet when holding the neck with hands. Weak chicks such as big belly and tilted head should be eliminated.

Second, the temperature is suitable. It was 25-28 ℃ at 1-5 days old, 23-26 ℃ at 6-10 days old, 20-24 ℃ at 11-20 days old, and 17-20 ℃ after 21 days old.

Third, careful feeding. Regular and quantitative feeding should be adopted, and the method of feeding 80% less frequently should be adopted. 24 hours after coming out of the shell, the goslings should be fed with water and then fed with soaked chopped rice and filamentous vegetables. The first two days after feeding 4-5 times, 4-10-day-old feeding times increased to 5-7 times, dietary concentrate accounted for 35%, green vegetables accounted for 65%. At the age of 11-20 days, it was mainly made of green materials. After 21 days of age, it was changed to cereal feed and fed 4-5 times a day.

Fourth, raising chicks separately. Each batch of goslings can be divided into large, medium, small or strong, so they must be divided into groups reasonably to achieve the goal of uniform growth and neat development of the whole group. Brooding should be in small groups, 50-80 in each group, checking group by group during the day and night, and manipulating the goslings 4-5 times by hand to prevent the phenomenon of cold above, heat in the middle and pressure below caused by the stacking of goslings.

Fifth, graze at the right time. After eating, get up every other hour, so as to adjust the temperature and emit water vapor. After 7 days of age, choose to release water in a clean shallow pond in a clear and windless day. The starting time should be short and the road should be short.

Sixth, prevention and treatment of diseases. The disease resistance of goslings is weak, the enclosure should be cleaned frequently, the bedding grass should be changed frequently, and the material trough should be brushed with alkali water once a week, focusing on the prevention and control of Gosling influenza and Gosling plague in the brooding stage.
