1. Selected goslings
Goslings are required to be strong and lively, responsive, yolk shrinkage well, able to stand firm after the hair is dry, and have a strong voice. be eliminated. In terms of varieties, varieties with large size, fast growth and roughage resistance should be selected, such as white geese and gray geese.
2. Greenhouse brooding
The goslings that have just hatched should be reared in a greenhouse. The temperature of the brooding room is: 30-28°C for 1-5 days, 28-25°C for 6-15 days, and 18-20°C after 16 days; humidity is 50-65%. The stocking density is 8-12 per square meter, and the feeding room should be connected to the greenhouse by a small door, so that the goslings can eat and move freely.
3. Scientifically boiled water and food
Generally, 24-36 hours after the goslings hatch, the water is boiled when 2/3 of the goslings have pecking in the brooding room. The water temperature of the boiling water is 25 ℃, and 0.05% potassium permanganate solution or 5%-10% glucose water and water of Protavi Life can be used.
Most goslings can start eating when they are fighting for food. Use chopped fresh and tender vegetable leaves (preferably lettuce leaves and wolfberry leaves) to attract food. After 1-2 days, they can eat about 70% full, and then appropriate amount. Sprinkle with water-soaked or broken rice. From day 3 onwards, switch to trough feeding.
4. Mid-term rearing
After the geese are 30 days old and before the main wing feathers grow out, they are mainly grazing, and the concentrate is properly supplemented to make them fully exercise and improve their vitality. While exercising, you can eat a sufficient amount of fresh and tender green fodder every day, and at the same time, you should also supplement with concentrated feed such as bran, rice, and corn. Especially when the goose's back and abdomen fluff starts to fall off and replace with new feathers, it is necessary to supplement with concentrated feed to prevent uneven moulting.
5. Timely fattening
When the main wing feathers of the meat goose grow, the fattening can be started. The entire fertilization period should be kept in captivity, and the feed should be diversified, mainly corn, rice, wheat, bran, etc., which are rich in carbohydrates and easy to digest, and appropriately matched with protein feed and roughage.
