What are the market prospects and farming profitability of raising geese?
Geese belong to a kind of poultry; goose down can be made into clothing, goose liver is a premium ingredient, and goose meat is thick and delicious. It can be said that every part of a goose is valuable, so what about raising geese?
1. Prospects of raising geese
The commercial value of geese is relatively high, and with good management the prospects are fairly promising, but the specific profit from raising geese depends on factors such as the goose breed, goose-raising techniques and market demand, especially market demand, which is not a factor that can be controlled by people. So each person's harvest from raising geese may be different every year, and raising geese still requires caution.
2. Goose-raising techniques
Although geese are a kind of poultry that is relatively easy to raise, some abnormal situations can still occur when they are kept free-range in the wild, and there are many points to pay attention to when raising geese.
1. The rearing density for goslings is suitable at 20-25 birds per sq m, and the humidity inside the shed is suitable at 60%-65%;
2. An appropriate amount of glucose water, compound vitamin aqueous solution, potassium permanganate, etc. needs to be added to the geese's drinking water to strengthen the geese's constitution. If you are worried about the geese getting sick, antibiotics, enrofloxacin, etc. can also be added;
3. Special-purpose feed needs to be chosen for the geese's feed, and for forage grass, juicy green types such as tender ryegrass and bitter lettuce can be chosen;
4. Lighting also needs to be adjusted according to different ages. Generally, before 1 week of age the shed temperature is 28-30°C, at 2 weeks of age the shed temperature is 24-28°C, and before 4 weeks of age it is enough to keep the shed temperature above 20°C.
Whether raising geese or raising other poultry, care and patience are needed to raise them well, and the harvest is directly proportional to the effort put in.
