First, the selection of brood mother geese Most local goose species have nesting. The mother geese used for hugs have strong nesting properties. It is best to use geese that have been used for 1 year or more to have nesting habits. If you use a new mother goose without hatching habits, you can set dummy eggs to let it be hatched. When the mother geese quietly incubate, you can put the eggs into the nest. If there are no brooding geese, you can replace them with hens, but The amount of hatching should be reduced. In the breeding season of geese, no hatching is generally required. There are many mother geese that hug each other in succession. Possessing mother goose. Generally after every 9-14 eggs are produced, they begin to hold nests, in the late stages of each litter. The goose shows the phenomenon of grass nests, even when laying eggs, the feathers of their own chest cover the eggs. That is the sign that begins to hug.
Second, the preparation of nest Wo Wo should choose to be quiet, sheltered, dark environment, some directly use hatch nest production, can also be made of shorter bamboo rafts, 45 to 50 cm in diameter, nest inside the mat clean and soft Mat grass. First put in the "lead", so that the mother geese are familiar with the brood and then put 10 to 12 goose, it is best to hatch at night, is conducive to the quiet hatching of the mother goose.
Third, the incubation period operation and management
1. Identification of cuddling geese: In the second to third days after hatching, observe the performance of mother goose eggs. Any person who is uneasy and frequently enters and exits must be promptly removed and replaced by a mother goose with strong embrace.
2. Artificially assisted turning eggs: Although the mother geese turn their eggs, they are uneven. In order to increase the hatching rate, it is possible to artificially turn the eggs 2 to 3 times a day. Place the nest's egg on the side of the nest and place the nest's eggs in the center of the nest.
3. Keep the crotch clean: When the eggs are turned, the bedding that is contaminated with faeces should be replaced in time.
4. According to the egg: Incubation period is generally 2 or 3 times. By arranging eggs, remove anaesthetized eggs and dead embryos in a timely manner. The extra goslings can either incubate new eggs or wake them up to lay eggs.
5. On the management of the nest geese's word care: The mother geese held their nests for one month and the nutrients in the mothers consumed a lot. The body weight decreased significantly and became thin. If the husbandry was improperly managed, there would be mother geese halfway from the nest, and even some mother geese would die. During the incubation process, regular feeding, drinking, activities, and swimming are done from the nest:
(1) On the 1st to the 10th day, the nest is separated from the nest on the next day, and the first few times require the geese to leave the nest. After the conditioned reflexes are established, the geese will leave the nest automatically. Each time they leave the nest for 30 to 40 minutes, they are allowed to feed and feed into the water. They are then allowed to swim in the water, drink water, etc., and they are allowed to eat green feed. After the geese defecate and the feathers are dry, they return to the nest to continue hatching. While the mother goose is away from the nest, the surface of the egg should be covered with thin cotton wool and other insulation;
(2) On the 11th to 27th days, instead of leaving the nest once a day in the morning, the feeding time and the time for each feeding may be extended to 40 to 60 minutes.
(3) On the 28th to the 31st days, in order to prevent the embryos from being broken or crushed due to a large goose before hatching, the embryos should be promptly transferred to the bamboo baskets and covered with a suitable covering. . Force the female goose to leave the nest, grazing with the herd, and strengthen feeding.
6. Auxiliary hatching: If gosling pods are not shelled for a long time, artificial midwifery can be carried out, but it must be carried out when the allantoic withering, pull the head of the gosling out of the shell, if there is bleeding during midwifery The phenomenon should stop immediately.
