What are the key technical points for raising goslings?

SummaryInjection of vaccine: goslings need to be vaccinated one day after birth to prevent and control gosling plague. Temperature regulation: goslings 1-6 days old need to be kept in an environment of about 28°C; in the second week the temperature should be adjusted to 25°C, and from the 15th to the 25th day it is better to adjust the temperature to 22°C. Feeding: just meet the growth needs with concentrated feed, and give more green and coarse feed. Environment: keep the shed dry, avoid dampness by all means, and pay attention to disinfection and disease prevention. Management: goslings can be raised in groups divided by strength.

1. Inject vaccine, and provide water and feed in time

1. Goslings are very susceptible to disease, so one day after they are born they need to be vaccinated to prevent and control gosling plague.

2. During their growth and development, goslings catch colds very easily, and the death rate caused by colds is very high, which is also a main reason why many people cannot keep goslings alive.

3. When feeding goslings normally, we can appropriately give them a little brown sugar and ginger water to prevent colds.

4. If a gosling catches a cold, go to the veterinarian to get some medicine specifically for gosling colds, add it to the feed, and let the gosling eat it.

2. Regulate the living temperature of goslings

1. Goslings of different periods adapt to different temperatures, and there are even differences between goslings one or two days apart in age, so in gosling rearing attention must be paid to adjusting the temperature of goslings born in different periods by artificial cooling to a level each group of goslings adapts to.

2. Generally, goslings 1 to 6 days old are best kept in an environment of about 28°C, goslings 7 to 14 days old are generally kept at about 25°C, and goslings 15 to 25 days old are suitable for surviving in an environment of 22°C; after 21 days, goslings can grow normally in an everyday environment.

3. Meet needs with concentrated feed, give more green feed

1. Meeting needs with concentrated feed helps goslings grow healthily, but it is not the more the better; the feed only needs to meet the protein and energy required for weight gain.

2. The protein in the feed should reach about 21%. During the feeding process, give goslings more green and coarse feed, which helps them exercise their digestive system and prevents the occurrence of feather pecking.

4. Keep the shed dry, avoid dampness by all means

No matter what brooding method is adopted, the environment in the gosling shed must be kept dry; excessive dampness in the shed can easily lead to disease.

5. Clean every day, disinfect and prevent disease

1. The bedding in the shed must be completely renewed every day, and gosling droppings and dirt should be swept away in time.

2. During the first 7 days of raising goslings, it is best to clean once in the morning and once in the afternoon each day, and disinfect once in the morning and once in the evening; Baidusha can be used for disinfection. After 7 days, disinfect once every 2-3 days.

6. Manage in small groups, separate the strong from the weak

In the process of raising goslings, it is best to manage them in small groups, so that the goslings can eat evenly and piling up of goslings can be prevented. It is best to put the strong ones in one group and the weak ones in another group, to avoid the phenomenon of the weak being preyed upon by the strong.
