Goslings raised in spring and summer grow into medium geese by late autumn and early winter. After medium geese are selected and evaluated, those that cannot be kept for breeding should be transferred to the fattening period in good time, to promote fast growth and weight gain, so the geese can be fattened in winter and sold on the market. The advantages of doing this: first, the weather in winter is cold, so after geese are slaughtered, they are not prone to spoilage and are easy to store; second, this is also when the Spring Festival approaches, when demand from the market and the public is large, sales channels are broad, prices are high, and the economic benefits of raising geese are good. The rapid fattening methods for geese are as follows: the fattening feed formula is 30% dried sweet potato, 40% corn,

The rapid fattening methods for geese are as follows:

The fattening feed formula is 30% dried sweet potato, 40% corn, 9% sorghum, 15% soybean cake, 5% wheat bran, and 1% bone meal. For the pen fattening method, use bamboo poles to form round pens; each pen can hold 15-20 geese, and the pen height can be about 65 cm, with a cover on top, so the geese inside can only stand and cannot raise their heads and call out. Place the feed trough and waterer outside the fence, and let the geese stretch their heads out to eat and drink. Feed about five times a day.

For the manual forced feeding method, first mix the fattening geese and the compound feed with water, roll the wet feed into feed sticks 1.5 cm thick and 6 cm long, and dry them. Then hold the goose with the right hand, hold the goose's head with the left hand, use the thumb and index finger to open the beak, press down on the tongue with the middle finger, lightly hold the swollen part of the goose's esophagus with the right hand, gently put the goose's beak onto the feeding tube, and push it forward so the rubber tube is inserted down into the esophagus. At this time, keep the goose's body parallel to the rubber tube to prevent injuring the esophagus, and press the filling machine with the hand. Press down on the feeding rod handle with the right hand to press the feed into the esophagus and crop. After feeding is completed, lift the feeding rod handle upward, then turn the goose's head downward and withdraw it from the esophagus.

Precautions: 1. Limit the geese's activity to reduce body heat consumption. 2. Ensure the environment is quiet.
