What are the basic principles of formulating daily rations for goslings?

Choose a reasonable feeding standard. Various feeding standards have a certain degree of representativeness, but they also have certain limitations, being only relatively reasonable standards. Therefore, when referring to and applying a certain standard, you must pay attention to observing the actual feeding results, and make appropriate adjustments according to factors such as the goose's economic type, breed, age, growth and development stage, body weight, egg production rate and season, while combining them withgoose farmingthe specific conditions of the farm, such as its production level and feeding experience.

The feed selected should be economical and reasonable. On the premise of meeting the nutritional needs of geese, local feed resources should be fully utilized to reduce feed costs as much as possible. The advantages of local feed resources should be fully brought into play, and feeds that are rich in nutrients and low in price should be selected as much as possible for formulation.

Physiological characteristics of different breeds. Geese tolerate roughage better than other poultry, so some feed with a high crude fiber content can be appropriately selected for the daily ration.

Pay attention to the palatability of the feed. Feed with good palatability should be selected as much as possible. For feed with high nutritional value but very poor palatability, its amount must be limited so that the entire daily ration has good palatability. The use of moldy feed and the like is strictly prohibited.

The amount of dry matter should be appropriate. In addition to meeting the needs for various nutrients, the daily ration should also pay attention to the amount of dry matter supplied. That is, the daily ration must have a certain volume, so that goslings can not only eat it and fill themselves, but also meet their nutritional needs.

Feed diversity is required. As many kinds of feed as possible should be selected in order to give play to the complementary effect of the nutrients in various feeds, thereby improving the nutritional value and utilization rate of the feed.
