Temperature requirements for gosling rearing: Geese are warm-blooded animals, but goslings are small in size, have sparse down, and their thermoregulatory function is not fully developed, so they are very poorly adapted to low temperatures and sudden temperature changes.

Temperature requirements for gosling rearing: Geese are warm-blooded animals, but goslings are small in size, have sparse down, and their thermoregulatory function is not fully developed, so they are very poorly adapted to low temperatures and sudden temperature changes. In a low-temperature environment below 26°C, goslings tend to crowd together and pile up, and those buried inside the pile often die of suffocation. Therefore, observe them carefully and frequently scatter the piled-up goslings by hand. Once the temperature in the goose house exceeds 32°C, goslings become listless, eat less and drink more, their body temperature rises, and heat dissipation is hindered, which affects their growth and development and induces disease. Prolonged high temperatures can also cause mass deaths of goslings. The suitable temperature should be: goslings aged 1-7 days require a house temperature of around 28°C, then it should drop by 2°C each week as their age increases, but the difference between day and night temperatures must not exceed 2°C. Humidity requirements for gosling rearing: when humidity exceeds 80% and is accompanied by unsuitable temperatures, goslings become listless, lose appetite, have difficulty breathing and develop diarrhea and other symptoms. In a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, pathogenic microorganisms and parasites easily breed, feed and litter easily become moldy, and the incidence of disease in the goose flock rises accordingly. Therefore, the environmental humidity requirements for gosling rearing must not be taken lightly either.
