What should be noted when feeding geese with green fodder?

1. Green fodder should be harvested and used fresh. Before use, it is best to process it appropriately, such as washing, chopping, and pulping, to facilitate the geese's feeding and digestion. Do not feed geese leftover grass pulp, to prevent geese from developing nitrite poisoning.

2. When grazing or collecting green fodder, you should understand the characteristics of the green fodder. It is strictly forbidden to collect green fodder or graze in vegetable plots or grasslands that are toxic or have just been sprayed with pesticides, to prevent geese from being poisoned.

3. Green fodder rich in oxalic acid, such as spinach and beet leaves, should not be fed in large amounts, to prevent goslings from developing rickets and paralysis, and female geese from laying thin-shelled or soft-shelled eggs.

4. Leguminous forage rich in saponins (such as certain alfalfa varieties) should not be fed in excessive amounts, because too much saponin will inhibit the growth of goslings.

5. When using green fodder, the changes in its nutrient content and digestibility at different growth stages should be taken into account, and it should be mowed at the right time. In addition, because green fodder has a high water content and low effective energy value, attention should be paid to appropriately matching it with some concentrate feed when feeding geese.
