There are many reasons why geese do not lay eggs, including physiological reasons, nutritional deficiencies, environmental discomfort, etc. These reasons are described in detail below and the corresponding solutions are given.
1. Physiological causes.
1.Breed problem: There are differences in the number and pattern of eggs laid by different breeds of geese. Some varieties of geese themselves have low egg production, such as Taihu goose and black-maned goose in China. Therefore, if the farmed goose breed has a low egg production, then they will lay a corresponding reduction in eggs.
2.Age: Geese generally start laying eggs from the second year, and egg production will also increase with age. If the farmed geese are not yet of laying age, they will not lay eggs.
3.Seasonal influence: The egg production of geese is greatly affected by the season. During the cold winter months, the goose lays significantly less eggs due to lower temperatures. In the warm spring and autumn seasons, due to the abundant sunlight and suitable temperatures, the egg production of geese will increase accordingly.
Solution: For the goose that does not lay eggs due to physiological reasons, farmers need to understand the characteristics of the goose breed and the growth law, and reasonably arrange the breeding plan. In winter, goose egg production can be increased by increasing the protein and energy content of the feed, increasing the temperature of the pen, etc.
2. Insufficient nutrition.
1.Feed problem: If the nutrients in the feed are not comprehensive or the ratio is unreasonable, it will lead to insufficient nutrition of the goose, which will affect its normal egg production. For example, a lack of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals can all have a negative impact on goose egg production.
2.Feeding management issues: If the pen is not clean, there is not enough water or it is contaminated, it can lead to problems with the health of the goose, which can affect its normal egg production. In addition, an unstable feeding environment can also lead to a stress response in geese, which in turn affects their egg production.
Solution: In view of the problem of insufficient nutrition, farmers should reasonably prepare feed according to the different growth stages and breed requirements of geese. Make sure the feed is rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals to meet the nutritional needs of the goose. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the enclosure clean and tidy, regularly clean up the feces and change the drinking water to ensure that the living environment of the geese is comfortable and livable.
3. The environment is uncomfortable.
1.Enclosure problems: If the enclosure is poorly ventilated, overcrowded or poorly lit, it can lead to poor living conditions for geese, which can affect their normal egg production. In addition, noise in the enclosure can also affect the mood and egg production of the geese.
2.Stress response: Geese will not lay eggs under the influence of stress factors such as shock, unfamiliar environment or sudden change in life Xi. For example, actions such as long-distance transportation, environmental mutations, or vaccinations can all cause stress responses.
Solution: In view of the problem of environmental discomfort, farmers should strengthen the management of the enclosure and keep the enclosure well ventilated, well-lit and not crowded. At the same time, try to avoid noise interference and keep the goose's mood stable. When dealing with the stress response, a gradual adaptation approach can be adopted, and the enclosure environment and feeding management methods can be gradually changed to reduce the stress stimuli on the geese.
To sum up, there are many reasons why geese do not lay eggs, including physiological reasons, nutritional deficiencies, and environmental discomfort. In view of the situation that geese do not lay eggs due to different reasons, farmers should take corresponding solutions. Through reasonable arrangement of breeding plan, preparation of feed and strengthening of enclosure management and other measures, the egg production and quality of geese can be improved, so as to maximize the breeding benefits.
