Goose is a kind of efficient livestock and poultry, with fast growth, tolerance to rough feeding, strong disease resistance, delicious meat and other characteristics, is one of the important income of rural breeding. However, breeding geese also requires certain conditions and technologies, otherwise it will affect the growth and development of geese and economic benefits. This article introduces the matters that need to be paid attention to in breeding geese from the aspects of breeding, feeding, fattening, and disease prevention.
Seed selection is the first step in breeding geese, and it is also a key factor affecting the breeding effect. Breeds of geese or hybrid geese with large size, fast growth, tolerance to rough feeding, and strong disease resistance should be selected. Common goose varieties are white goose, gray goose, spotted goose, lion's head goose, goose goose, etc., different varieties of goose have different characteristics and adaptability, should be based on the local climate, feed, market and other conditions, choose the right breed. The purchase of goslings should be carried out in a regular farm or business, requiring the goslings to be robust and lively, responsive, yolk shrinkage well, hair stem to stand firm, call strongly, hold its neck with your hands, feet can contract quickly. Weak chicks with large abdomen, crooked heads and poor yolk shrinkage should be resolutely eliminated.
Feeding is the main part of goose breeding, which directly affects the growth rate and quality of geese. Raising geese should pay attention to the following aspects:
Goose house: The goose house should be clean, dry and ventilated to prevent unfavorable factors such as humidity, high temperature, and dust. The area of the goose house should be reasonably arranged according to the number and density of geese, generally each goose occupies an area of 05 1 sq.m. The ground of the goose house should be flat, and it can be laid with soil, sand, bricks, cement and other materials, and it should have a certain slope to facilitate drainage. There should be enough sports fields around the goose house, which can be fenced with bamboo fences or barbed wire, and each goose occupies an area of 2 3 square meters. The doors and windows of the goose house should be able to adjust the light and ventilation, have shading and warm facilities, and have measures to prevent mice, wild cats, weasels and other goose stealing.
Feed: Feed is the source of life for geese, and the quantity, quality and nutrition of feed should be ensured. There are two main types of goose feed: roughage and concentrate, roughage includes pasture, vegetable leaves, straw, etc., and concentrate feed includes corn, rice bran, soybean meal, fishmeal, minerals, vitamins, etc. Goose feed should be reasonably proportioned according to the growth stage, season, variety and other factors of the goose, generally based on roughage, supplemented by concentrate feed, feed 3 4 times a day, until each feeding is full. The feed of the goose should be fresh, clean, mildew-free, toxin-free, and odorless, and should be regularly inspected, cleaned and replaced to prevent the goose from indigestion, poisoning and other diseases.
Drink water: Drinking water is the physiological need of geese, and it is necessary to ensure that drinking water is sufficient, clean and hygienic. The drinking water of the goose should be at any time, and the water should not be cut off, and special drinking utensils should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent water accumulation and pollution of drinking utensils. The drinking water of geese should be clear, colorless, tasteless and pollution-free, and the water with harmful substances such as pesticides, industrial wastewater, and domestic sewage should not be used to prevent geese from poisoning, infection and other diseases.
Splash in the water: It is the nature of geese to play in the water, and it is necessary to meet the needs of geese to play in the water and enhance the physique and immunity of geese. The size of the pond or pond should be reasonably arranged according to the number and density of the goose, and generally each goose occupies 05 1 sq.m. The water in the pool or pond should be clean and pollution-free, and should be replaced and disinfected regularly to prevent the deterioration of water quality and the breeding of germs. The goose should be reasonably arranged according to the age, season, weather and other factors of the goose, generally at about 10 o'clock in the morning and 2 o'clock in the afternoon to catch the goose into the water as well, 10 15 minutes each time. Do not go into the water on rainy and snowy days to prevent geese from getting cold and cold.
Fattening is the last link in breeding geese, and it is also an important means to improve the economic value of geese. The purpose of fattening is to increase the weight of the goose, improve the meat quality, increase the fat, and meet the standards of the market. There are several ways to fatten:
Barn feeding fattening method: The feeding and fattening method is to raise the goose in the dark house, increase the amount of goose feeding, increase the feeding density, control the range of motion of the goose, reduce the activity of the goose, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the goose. During this period, the main carbohydrate-rich feed is mainly fed, feeding 3 or 4 times a day (1 additional feed at night), eating ad libitum, until you are full, and at the same time providing sufficient drinking water. The feed reference formula is: corn 55%, rice bran 27%, soybean meal 7%, fish meal 3%, mineral additives 15%, shell powder 2%, bone meal 1%, stone powder 3%, salt 05%。
Upper shed fattening method: The fattening method is to build a scaffolding with wood, 50 60 cm high from the ground (convenient for ventilation and the accumulation of manure), spread straw or wheat straw on the scaffolding, and put the goose on the trellis to raise it, limit the activity of the goose, and increase the amount of goose feeding. During this period, the main protein-rich feed is mainly fed, feeding 3 or 4 times a day (1 more time at night), eating ad libitum, until you are full, and at the same time providing sufficient drinking water. The reference formula of feed is: 40% corn, 20% rice bran, 15% soybean meal, 10% fish meal, 2% mineral additives, 3% shell meal, 2% bone meal, 5% stone powder, and 05%。
Water surface fattening method: The water surface fattening method is to use the water surface resources to raise the goose on the water surface, increase the feed intake of the goose, improve the digestive ability of the goose, and promote the growth of the goose. During this period, aquatic plants and aquatic animals are the mainstay, and they are fed concentrate feed 1 or 2 times a day, and they are fed at will, until they are full, and at the same time they are provided with sufficient drinking water. The feed reference formula is: 50% corn, 25% rice bran, 10% soybean meal, 5% fishmeal, and 1 mineral additive5%, shell powder 2%, bone meal 1%, stone powder 3%, salt 05%。
The fattening time should be determined according to the breed of goose, market demand and other factors, generally 30 60 days. The effect of fattening should be evaluated according to the weight, body shape, meat quality and other indicators of the goose, and the weight of the goose is generally required to reach 4 6 kg, with a well-proportioned body shape, delicate meat and moderate fat.
Disease prevention is the safeguard measure of breeding geese, and it is necessary to do a good job in the vaccination, disinfection, quarantine and other work of geese to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, nutritional deficiency diseases, etc. There are several ways to prevent disease:
Vaccinations: Vaccination is an effective means to prevent infectious diseases of geese, in accordance with the provisions of the veterinary department, to vaccinate geese regularly, such as goose plague, goose paradissolt, goose infectious bronchitis, goose infectious meningitis, etc. To choose a regular manufacturer for vaccination, pay attention to the storage, transportation, use and other conditions of the vaccine, and select the appropriate vaccination site, dose, time, etc. in accordance with the requirements of the instructions, and do a good job in vaccination records and observation of reactions.
Sterilization: Disinfection is an important measure to prevent the pathogen of the goose, and it is necessary to regularly disinfect the goose house, feed, drinking water, utensils, pools, etc., to eliminate or reduce the number of pathogens. Disinfection should choose the appropriate disinfectant, such as bleaching powder, iodine, new Jieer, etc., in accordance with the requirements of the manual, prepare the appropriate concentration, temperature, time, etc., and do a good job of disinfection records, check the effect, etc.
Quarantine: Quarantine is a necessary means to prevent goose diseases, and it is necessary to quarantine the goose's **, transportation, feeding, etc., to prevent the spread and spread of diseases. Quarantine to comply with the provisions of the veterinary department, to the goose physical examination, blood test, isolation, etc., to the suspected disease goose isolation, elimination, etc., to the death of the goose for autopsy, burial, incineration, etc., to do a good job in quarantine records, reports, etc.
The above is about the conditions for breeding geese, I hope it will help you.
