Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the terms and definitions, general requirements, pre-rearing preparations, selection of chicks, rearing management, and disease prevention and control for lion-headed goose chicks. This document applies to the rearing and management of lion-headed goose chicks during the rearing period. Main technical contents: 7.3 Feeding frequency and feeding amount: Feeding during the rearing period should be timed and quantified. The size of green fodder or the particle size of supplementary feed should be suitable for the chicks' mouth size and easy to consume. Feeding standards should be in accordance with Table 1. Table 1 Feeding frequency, addition ratio of green fodder, and feeding amount during the rearing period Age (days) Daily feeding frequency (times/day) Feeding amount [g/chicken/day] Concentrated feed Green fodder (vegetable leaves) 1–3 Free feeding until fullness Free feeding until fullness 4–14 4–5 39–11 4–5 15–30 311–416 50–140 7.4 Temperature, relative humidity, and rearing density during the rearing period 7.4.1 Temperature and humidity control: During the rearing period, the room temperature should be kept relatively constant and adjusted according to the age and size of the flock. During the winter heating process, ensure the stability of the power supply to prevent sudden drops in temperature caused by power outages, which may lead to crowding, trampling, and freezing of chicks. The temperature and relative humidity of the rearing room should meet the requirements specified in Table 2. Table 2 Temperature, humidity, and density requirements during the rearing period Age (days) Temperature (°C) Humidity (%) Density/birds/m2 Remarks 1–3 30–32 60–65 25–30 When the room temperature is close to the outdoor temperature, the chicks can be weaned. 4–6 27–29 60–65 25–20 7–10 23–26 60–65 20–15 7.4.2 Rearing density: Adopting different rearing densities for c
