How much does a gosling cost in 2019, and how should they be fed?

Goslings refer to young geese from 4 weeks to 1 month old after the goose eggs hatch. Because goose meat, feathers and eggs all have commercial value, many people raise them. So how much does a gosling cost in 2019? And how should they be fed after you buy them?

1. How much does a gosling cost?

There are many kinds of geese, and the price of goslings varies with the kind. At present, the average price of all kinds of goslings is around 19.5 yuan. Among them:

Grey goose goslings in Jining, Shandong, are 5-20 yuan each;

Large white goose goslings in Hefei, Anhui, are around 22 yuan each;

Sanhua hybrid goose goslings in Lianyungang, Jiangsu, are around 28 yuan each;

Magang goose goslings in Guangxi are around 25 yuan each;

……

Besides the kind, the size, health and place of origin of the goslings also affect the price. The exact price depends on the actual situation.

2. How should goslings be fed?

1. Inject vaccines

After buying goslings, you need to inject vaccines in time, because goslings have relatively low immunity. If they get sick (such as gosling plague and paramyxovirus disease, avian influenza, etc.), it is very easy to cause large numbers of deaths, and the breeding cost will also rise.

So you need to inject gosling plague serum (yolk antibody), gosling plague and paramyxovirus vaccine, avian influenza vaccine, etc. in time.

In addition, before the goslings start eating, let them drink 5% multi-vitamin glucose water first, and then start feeding.

2. Feeding techniques

Goslings grow fast in the early stage and need comprehensive nutrition. It is best to feed them goose or meat goose brooding feed. During the brooding period, feeding brooding feed helps maintain rapid weight gain and reduce feed cost; the feed-to-weight ratio is low in the early stage: at 1 month of age the feed-to-weight ratio is 1.5:1, at 2 months of age it is 2.8:1, and at 3 months of age it is 4:1. Feeding brooding feed helps lower the feed-to-weight ratio.

3. Breeding environment

Before putting the goslings in, you need to clean and disinfect the goose house, then prepare a ventilated breeding environment with adjustable temperature and light. After putting the goslings in, give them suitable temperature and sufficient light to prevent colds and ensure the healthy development of the goslings.

In addition, you should clean every day, completely replace the bedding, and promptly remove droppings and dirt. It is best to clean once in the morning and once in the afternoon every day for the first 7 days, and disinfect once in the morning and once in the evening at the same time. Baidusha can be used for disinfection. After 7 days, disinfect once every 2-3 days.

The above is some knowledge about goslings. If you are interested in raising them, you can also contact farms to buy goslings. Before buying, you should also ask about the specific points to note in raising them.
