What are the key measures for efficient goose raising?

1. Strong management

Select healthy and lively goslings, inject them with serum to prevent gosling plague, and keep the temperature of the goose warm shed: 28-30°C in the first week, then drop by 2°C each week, and as the goslings grow day by day, it is appropriate to lower it to around 20°C. If the goslings huddle together, with their bodies curled up and low, prolonged calls, it indicates the temperature is too low; when the temperature is too high, the goslings separate from each other, breathe with their mouths open, have short, rapid calls, and drink water frequently, and are prone to respiratory diseases; when the temperature is neither too low nor too high, the goslings stretch their waists and legs, gather in groups of three to five, lie quietly without sound or eat and drink regularly, and excrete droppings. Move them once every 5-10 minutes.

To improve the survival rate, goslings should drink water before starting to eat after entering the shed. Prepare 2% glucose, 0.003% potassium permanganate aqueous solution and multivitamin aqueous solution in the water tray. To relieve the stress caused by transportation, she added antibiotics, enrofloxacin and other drugs to the water. Before 5 days of age, feed 4-5 times a day, then increase to 5-8 times, with no fewer than 2 times at night. The ratio of concentrated feed to green feed is 1:2, but let the geese eat until they are 80% full.

2. Increased raising

Duringgoose raising, sanitation and disease prevention should be done well. Disinfect the pens frequently, clean them promptly, and keep the prepared feed and drinking water clean and hygienic.

For ease of management, after the goslings are 1 week old, she divides them into 20 per square meter, and after 2 weeks of age into 15, with no more than 200 in each group; after 8 days of age, grazing is carried out in the afternoon of sunny days when the temperature is suitable, choosing open ground nearby. When grazing, the time is short at first, then gradually extended, and grazing begins only after the dew has dried in the morning.

To make the geese grow fast, when the goslings reach 25 days of age, she uses 10 mg of praziquantel per kilogram of body weight for one deworming treatment against tapeworms. And feeds them pasture grass and green vegetables, supplemented with weeds, so that such diversified and reasonable matching achieves the purpose of saving grain, reducing costs and providing comprehensive nutrition.
