The goose's body covers feathers, and the thick velvet plumes, together with the thicker accumulation of subcutaneous fat, determine the physiological habits of cold goose and heat resistance. In summer, stifling heat, fasting geese, loss of appetite, and harassment of mosquitoes and flies, the growth and fattening of meat and geese are seriously affected. Egg geese often stop laying eggs at this time. We can slow down the heat stress of geese by the following methods.
A height of about 2 meters from the body of the goose is used in the pens, and a layer of ceiling is made of 1.5-2.5 cm thick white foam plastic panels. The thermal insulation of the plastic plate can reduce the temperature of the housing by 2°C~4°C.
Cover the roof of the house with a layer of rice straw, wheat straw or haystack 15 cm to 20 cm thick, and sprinkle with cool water to keep it moist and reduce the amount of heat drawn into the circle.
The walls of the pens are painted white with lime water or white paint, and the roof is covered with white materials to enhance the reflection of light and reduce the absorption of heat by the pens.
Plant vine climbing plants such as grapes, sponge gourds, and pumpkins around the shed to allow the vines to climb over the walls. The roof and the arbor, reducing solar radiant heat transmission sheds.
Cut grass and flowers around the house to reduce solar radiant heat and reflected heat.
Cover shaded awnings, doors, windows and event areas on the shed.
Install a fan in the shed to forcibly exhaust the house's hot air and improve air circulation.
At noon high temperatures, the deep well water that has just been sprayed is sprayed on the house with a sprayer, or the roof and the outer wall are washed to enhance heat dissipation.
