A Detailed Guide to Preventive Medication Methods and Precautions for Goslings
Drugs for preventing diseases in goslings include: the influenza bivalent vaccine, methanesulfonic acid, antibiotics, and doxycycline, etc. In addition, when using drugs, it is best to formulate a reasonable immunization and disease prevention program according to the characteristics of locally prevalent diseases, and the dosage of drugs should also be determined according to actual conditions.
Common problems in gosling breeding:
1. Weak goslings
When introducing goslings in large batches, it is inevitable that some chicks will be relatively weak. At this time, we should carefully pick out such goslings and raise them separately. It is best to place them in a relatively more spacious environment, with the temperature appropriately higher, and add more nutrients to their drinking water.
2. Salmonella
At this point, it is necessary to check clearly what proportion of the flock has white diarrhea, cull all the severely infected geese, and simply use drugs with normal high sensitivity to control the disease in the larger flock.
3. Respiratory diseases
At the first opportunity, use the most sensitive drugs to bring the respiratory disease under control, then control E. coli and viral diseases, and at the same time do not forget to protect the liver and kidneys.
4. Occurrence of soft legs
There are many causes of soft legs in geese, including viral factors, bacterial factors, nutritional factors, and their own metabolic factors, etc. For example, malnutrition, calcium deficiency, or vitamin deficiency are caused by nutritional factors, while an overly damp breeding site, lack of appropriate exercise, excessive breeding density, insufficient light, and the presence of harmful and toxic gases in the breeding site or exercise area are also causes of soft legs in geese. When carrying out treatment, reasonable prevention and control should be conducted according to different causes and their corresponding symptoms.
The quality of goslings has a relatively large impact on later rearing and breeding benefits, so farmers should pay attention to buying from merchants with complete qualifications and a good reputation when introducing goslings.
