1. Young child stage.
(1) As the goslings have just come out of the shell, the most important thing in feeding is to keep them warm, moisture proof and open. The temperature should be kept at about 28-30 degrees and the humidity should be controlled at about 55%. The stability of goslings can be reduced by about 2 ℃ every week until they are de warmed.
(2) It is best to choose foods that are easy to digest, such as grass and palatable feed.
(3) Do not put the geese in water to bathe during the young period. After one week, do not bathe in shallow water.
2. Breeding period.
(1) The breeding period starts from the fourth week after the shell is broken. At this time, the geese grow the fastest, and they also begin to change feathers, grow meat and bones.
(2) If it is summer, do not overgraze. Pay attention to disease prevention and control, vaccinate in time, and add 2-3 times of supplementary feed on the basis of normal food intake.
(3) During this period of time, special attention should be paid to the nutrition and collocation of feed, and the combination of coarse feed and refined feed should be used when feeding. Daily observation of goose feces can clearly know whether the feed is properly matched. If the feces are small and solid, it means that there is too much concentrated feed and coarse feed needs to be added; If the feces are coarse and loose, it means that there is too much roughage and refined feed is needed.
3. Egg laying period.
(1) During this period, besides ensuring the fertilization rate, the nutrition supply of geese should also be guaranteed. In particular, geese need to be raised in groups, and the ratio of male geese to female geese is 1:4.
(2) During this period, we need to pay special attention to grazing time. In the morning, we need to graze after the goose lays eggs. Soft straw needs to be laid in the goose house to lure the goose to lay eggs collectively and prevent eggshell damage.
(3) The egg laying period requires a long time of light to increase the egg production. If the light is not enough during this period, artificial supplementary light is needed, and the daily light duration needs more than 13 hours.
4. Repair period.
(1) After the egg laying period is the trimming period, when the strength and nutrition of the goose are seriously lacking, leading to the disordered feathers, it is necessary to force it to perform artificial feather changing, and try to perform feather changing in batches during artificial feather changing.
(2) The molting goose will become swaying, unwilling to sleep, unwilling to eat and so on. When this happens, there is no need to pay too much attention, and pay attention to the cleanliness, drying, ventilation and other aspects of the goose shed.
(3) Adding some high protein concentrate feed to the diet can make feathers grow out quickly.
