Hello goose friends! In the process of goose breeding, how to reasonably match grass and concentrate feed is the key to ensure the healthy growth of geese. Let's take a look at this important topic.
First of all, grass is a natural food for geese and is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. However, grass alone may not be able to meet the full nutritional needs of geese during their growth and development. At this time, concentrate plays an important role in supplementing nutrition.
For geese at different growth stages, the ratio of grass and concentrate should also be adjusted. In the early stage of goose growth, the proportion of concentrate feed can be appropriately increased to meet its fast-growing nutritional needs. As the geese grow, the proportion of grass can be gradually increased and the amount of concentrate fed can be reduced. This combination helps the digestive system of geese to be healthy and reduces the cost of breeding.
In addition, the quality of the grass is also crucial. Fresh, unpolluted grass is the best food for geese. When feeding grass, care should be taken to wash and disinfect it to prevent the spread of disease. At the same time, regularly observe the growth of geese, and adjust the proportion of grass and concentrate according to the actual situation.
For example, when geese experience slow weight gain or dull feathers, it may be necessary to increase the amount of concentrate fed; And when goose droppings are too soft, it may be necessary to reduce the intake of grass. Geese are generally not picky eaters, and eat most grasses, such as ryegrass, chicory, wolf's tail, sorghum, bitter horseweed, Russian forage vegetables, white clover, alfalfa, elephant grass, barnyard grass, mustard greens, water lotus, water hyacinth, water peanuts, red weeds, and various wild vegetables, weeds, aquatic plants, vegetables, leaves, etc. However, it should be noted that the geese can not be fed with grass, but also with an appropriate amount of concentrate feed, as well as some nutrients, such as corn flour, wheat bran, bone meal, fish meal, edible salt, shell meal, feed additives, etc.
Finally, reasonable feeding management is also the key to ensure the healthy growth of geese. Providing adequate drinking water, a suitable breeding environment and regular epidemic prevention measures can help geese better absorb nutrients and enhance immunity.
All in all, the reasonable combination of grass and concentrate is the key to the healthy growth of geese. By adjusting according to the growth stage and actual situation of the goose, we can provide balanced nutrition for the goose and improve the breeding efficiency.
