Gooseries

Speaking of the goose family, we need to mention who are diligent to work hard on this industry, our volunteer in researching team-mother Shen, her family operated a total of two areas goose field, and the following we chose grandfather Shen and Mama Shen as our representatives of Goose family, it explans how their effort for the industry.

Mother Shen worked in factories, later to balance work and family, she followed Grandfather Shen for running goose farm business. After gradually learning and development, and now she extends her business and has buildt a new geese field across the grandfather Shen as her independent operators. At present the number of raising goose about four thousand five hundred.

Mrs. Shan answered our various questions enthusiastically.

Mrs. Shan’s goose farm was a little different! In about two days, they will import goslings.

There were fishes in this clean pool.

They have to light a lamp for the geese. Therefore, the geese will sleep well.

The small hill is the geese’s’ favorite game zone.

The introduction of 10 to 35 days is very difficult to take care of white goose, at this time gosling is too small and easily frightened, after that it also easily got diseases. Therefore, we should put more attention on gosling. Punctually injected vaccination on gosling and it depends on the case may add the medicine in their feed or water in order to let them eat in and absorb.

The goslings are just imported. How cute they are!

The goslings like to get together.

The goslings have their own small drink equipment.

They use nets to prevent the goslings from swimming too far to come back.

Unfortunately, if gosling is sick which would be separated to avoid infection to the health of goose. Father Shen in particular caught a sick gosling, let us observe what is the diffenrent between next to the normal gosling?

The sick geese are in isolated zone.

We observe the sick gosling carefully.

After observing that:

Gosling's mental state is not very good, its walking will become crooked, shortness of breath also appear more. Their feet and eyes will swell inflation, really there are significant differences.

Father Shen said:

Gastrointestinal disease goose usually its size is smaller and it is no good (By the way he reminds us: Do not buy too thin goose!) Sometimes it has condition of diarrhea.

The geese were fat and it can move fast.

The geese were the same age. In comparison, the sick geese were small and malnourished.

The pathetic sick goose. There is excrement in the lower right of the pictures.

Father Shen said: we injected vaccine are usually from the arm, and it’s systemic immunization vaccines. But not for Goose, they are injected usually into legs instead of the body. Because if from the stomach into the inside, it’s likely to hurt Visceral. Goose’s vaccines usually are for gastrointestinal problems.

In the year,grandfather Shen and mother Shen would adjust the feed according to different situations, never eat the same feed throughout the year. When the weather is cold, it will be added in the feed of a "full-fat soybean meal, " to increase their fat goose, geese are less likely to stand the cold. When compared with the hot summer, geese will go to cool swim. When the geese into goose homes, their homes will be opened side of the canvas to allow air circulation, or may result geese suffocate. In winter, the temperature will be using gas diffusion out to maintain their body temperature and warm.

The bottle is used to fill forage for the gosling.

Mr. Shan says that the geese like to eat grass.

The blue canvas is used to adjust the goose farm’s temperature.

The geese swim elegantly.

Shen mother said:

Geese failmy also need to be careful not to let foreign ferocious animals harm geese
Sometimes dogs and cats will jump into from the wall, the gosling will be killed or scared to death, And the diaster maybe a dozen or even hundreds, even if the goose is spared only in spirit will be greatly frightened, affecting gastrointestinal function, these losses are very heavy.

It must use fences to prevent animal invasion or a thief. More important is need someone to keep eye on them, mother Shen sledom go out because of taking care of the goose farm, even something matter but she still keep the geese in her mind.

We also note that there is a large goose webs in the field side, mother Shen said it was brought to guard against foreign birds by bird flu protection. Now we have already knew: raising goose is not so easy and simple, it needs to concern very much, it’s really hard.

The prevention around the goose farm.

It is not easy to prevent the animals outside from invading.

The net above the goose farm was used to prevent the Avian Influenza from

There is a pond in goose farm, allowing those geese were swimming in the pool and refreshing, However, in order to maintain the clean water- cleaning pool is a troublesome project.

Grandfather Shen at least clean up the pool once a year, and he spend time cleaning up at least a month for each time.

First, the water-pump will pump all the water, and then make the soil under the pool dried, drying hard, then finishing the renovation of soil once, and then restore the original appearance, it really is a time-consuming and laborious thing!

The water pump has a long history

The drains are in the water.

Talking about the most impressive thing, mother Shen said once wild dogs broke into the fence, killed more than 30 of the goslings, the geese were very much frightened, my heart was really very upset; Recently typhoons, flooding over Tuncun village, just watching these almost matured as soon as the goose along water and swim out of the fence, and I could do nothing to save them one by one, it was unforgettable and painful experience.

Raising goose really is not an easy task, natural disasters and foreign aggression can not be expected, all we can do is take good care of the little details of each of geese, always careful. In these few years raising goose, she hopes the selling price can be stable, do not expect a loss, of course, she also told us earnestly, every job has its different part, like geese may be hard, but she is alwasys expecting every geese grow under the care of her care, and her heart feel very happy, she always miss it!

She hoped that we can study hard and will find a job you like to do, we have to try harder and keep going.

Mrs. Shan warm us eagerly.
