Gout is a disease with a high incidence in goose breeding, with a high incidence and acute onset, which will cause serious harm to the growth and health of geese. So why are geese prone to gout?What should a goose do if it has gout?
1. The reason why geese are prone to gout
The susceptibility of geese to gout is mainly related to their diet and metabolic patterns. Geese are omnivores and can not only eat feed, but also need to eat some green feed such as aquatic plants. In the process of feeding, if the feed protein content of the goose is too high, it will produce a lot of uric acid, which exceeds the metabolic level of the goose, and the uric acid metabolism will not accumulate in the goose's kidneys, and then it will be deposited in various internal organs, so that the goose shows the symptoms of gout.
In addition, the lack of vitamin A, D and other elements in the feed of geese is also easy to induce goose gout. There is also poor feeding management, such as dirty and humid feeding environment, over-feeding medicine, etc., which will lead to metabolic disorders in the goose body and increase the risk of goose gout.
Second, how can a goose get gout?
After a goose gets gout, the following measures should be taken:
1. Dietary control: reduce the amount of high-purine and high-protein feed ingested by the goose flock, and feed the geese more green feed, which is conducive to promoting metabolism and reducing the gout symptoms of geese.
2. Drug**: Use: Tong'an Swordsman + glucose to help dredge the liver and kidneys of the goose and promote the excretion of urate to maintain normal metabolic levels.
We can also use plantain boiled water for sick geese to drink, which is also conducive to the excretion of excess urate in the goose's body.
3. Increase exercise and water intake: Moderate exercise can help reduce uric acid levels and promote uric acid excretion. Maintaining adequate water intake also helps to dilute uric acid in the urine and promote uric acid excretion.
In short, geese are prone to gout mainly because of their improper diet and abnormal liver and kidney metabolic function, to prevent and treat goose gout, we need to adjust their diet, ensure the intake of green feed, and use appropriate drugs to help regulate the liver and kidney, diuretic and dampness, promote the discharge of excess urate in the goose body, and relieve the symptoms of gout in geese.
