The key technology of breeding goslings management
Brooding goslings refers to young geese less than four weeks old. At this stage, they have underdeveloped villi, a delicate body structure, limited thermoregulation ability, weak digestive function, poor adaptability to the environment, and low disease resistance. Without proper feeding and management, they are highly susceptible to illness and mortality. Effective brooding is a crucial part of goose farming, and to minimize gosling losses during this period, comprehensive breeding techniques must be applied.
First, preparing the brooding house is essential. It should be cleaned thoroughly, with cracks sealed and rat holes blocked. Windows and doors should be cleaned, and walls treated with 20% lime water. The floor should be washed, cemented, and disinfected. All feeding equipment and waterers should be cleaned and placed in the house. After closing the doors and windows, the room temperature should be raised above 20°C with humidity over 75%. A mixture of 4ml formaldehyde and 20g potassium permanganate per cubic meter is used for fumigation, left for 24 hours. Before hatching, the house should be preheated for 1-2 days using hot water, steam pipes, or flues. For flat raising, fresh litter should be prepared, while for online systems, the frames should be set up at 60-80cm height with plastic or wire mesh.
Second, selecting healthy goslings is vital. They should come from disease-free breeding geese and high-hatch-rate eggs. Weak goslings often show signs like bloated bellies, stiff movements, and poor vitality. Healthy goslings should have clean feathers, bright eyes, active behavior, and a strong grip when held.
Third, feeding and management play a key role. The first water given should be warm sugar water (3-5%) within 16-24 hours after hatching. Waterers should be shallow and positioned at the right height. Food should start with soft, cooked grains, gradually transitioning to commercial feed. Green feed can be introduced 2-3 days after hatching, starting with small amounts and increasing over time.
Temperature control is also critical. The brooding area should be kept at 28-30°C for the first week, decreasing by 1-2°C weekly until reaching ambient temperature. Humidity should be maintained between 65-70% initially, then reduced to around 60%. Proper ventilation is necessary to avoid harmful gas buildup, especially in high-density environments. Adjustments should be made based on gosling behavior, and stocking density should be managed according to age and housing conditions.
By following these detailed practices, gosling survival rates can be significantly improved, ensuring a healthier and more productive flock.
