Meat Goose Summer Safe and Efficient Breeding Essentials
In the past two years, the efficiency of raising meat geese has been quite good. On average, each goose can generate about 10 yuan in profit, and many farmers have started to grow their flocks successfully. Here are some key precautions for raising meat geese during the summer season, which may help farmers improve their breeding outcomes:
**Cooling and Heatstroke Prevention**
Summer heat can be a big challenge for geese. To reduce stress, it's important to lower the stocking density. The ideal density is around 6 to 7 geese per square meter. The temperature inside the shed should not exceed 26°C, so proper ventilation is essential. Sprinkling water on the ground or using sand (about 1 cm thick) can also help cool the environment. Provide shaded areas for outdoor activities, and when temperatures rise, mist the ground around the goslings with cool water or spray them directly with cold water.
**Combined Rearing and Grazing**
For young goslings, careful attention is needed. Start grazing from day 10, gradually increasing the time spent outdoors. After 30 days of age, before the wing feathers fully develop, take advantage of the cooler morning and evening hours to let them graze in areas with good grass quality and sufficient vegetation. During the rest of the time, keep them in captivity and feed them a balanced diet including bran, rice, and Corn. Pay special attention to feeding high-quality feed as their abdominal fluff begins to replace new feathers. This helps avoid uneven molting, which could affect growth. Feed them 2 to 3 times daily, ensuring they eat 80% to 90% of the food offered each time.
**Disease Prevention**
Newly hatched goslings should receive an antiserum vaccine at 0.02 ml per bird to prevent diseases like goose plague. Around 30 days old, administer 1.5 ml of a cholera vaccine via injection. Clean feeding equipment with a 5% fresh lime water solution every 3 to 5 days. Disinfect the goose house and activity areas with a 1% bleach solution every 7 to 10 days to maintain hygiene and prevent disease outbreaks.
**Fattening Process**
Once the main feathers start growing, begin the fattening process. Keep geese in confinement and provide a diet rich in corn, rice, wheat, and bran, along with protein and roughage. A recommended feed formula includes: 40% corn, 19% wheat bran, 10% rice bran, 11% vegetable meal, 3.7% fish meal, 1% bone meal, and 0.3% salt. Crush and mix the feed with water to create a moist consistency, and feed 4 to 5 times a day. Provide one night feed to ensure they have enough to eat. Always keep clean water available. Clean the sheds and troughs daily, and allow the geese to exercise for about 30 minutes each day. Fattening typically takes 15 to 20 days, and the geese can be sold when their breast muscles are well-developed and their back fat is thickened.
By following these practices, farmers can enhance the health and productivity of their meat geese, especially during the challenging summer months.
