Analysis of the Profit and Cost of Wild Goose Farming
The wild goose is a traditional top-grade game delicacy and health product, collectively referring to the swan goose, greylag goose and bean goose of the genus Anser in the family Anatidae. It has a large body, full plumage, is good at flying high, has well-developed chest and leg muscles, and its meat is thick and extremely fresh. There is a folk saying that "when you smell the fragrance of goose meat, even immortals want to break their guts." Now let us take a look at the profit and cost of wild goose farming!
Is Wild Goose Farming Profitable?
The wild goose is a special poultry that has only just begun to be domesticated in China, and breeding stock is extremely scarce. Every coastal city has a huge consumer market for the product, and many game markets often have demand but no supply, so the prospects for developing artificial farming are very broad. Farmed wild geese can be sold on the market after more than 6 months, and at current market prices, each wild goose can yield a net profit of at least 100 yuan or more. Raising one breeding goose yields an annual profit of more than 1,000 yuan, and if 20 groups (20 males and 80 females) are raised, a net profit of more than 80,000 yuan can be obtained.
Cost of Wild Goose Farming
Taking the raising of 100 wild geese as an example, the market price of wild goose chicks is about 60 to 100 yuan each, so buying 100 wild goose chicks costs about 8,000 yuan; the labor cost for 6 months of raising is 1,500 yuan, the feed cost is 1,800 yuan, building the wild goose house costs 3,000 yuan, and the costs for disease prevention and transportation are about 500 yuan. The investment cost of raising 100 wild geese is about 8,000 yuan + 1,500 yuan + 1,800 yuan + 3,000 yuan + 500 yuan = 14,800 yuan.
Profit of Wild Goose Farming
Farmed wild geese can be sold on the market after more than 6 months of raising. The current market price is 50 to 80 yuan/kg, and one adult wild goose weighs 4 to 5 kg, giving sales revenue of 200 to 400 yuan. Calculated at an average of 300 yuan, the total sales of raising 100 wild geese is 30,000 yuan, and the profit of raising 100 wild geese is 30,000 yuan - 14,800 yuan = 15,200 yuan. Moreover, the fatty liver and hard feathers of wild geese can also be sold for money.
Advantages of Wild Goose Farming
1. Low farming investment: The shed for raising wild geese is very simple, and they can be raised on idle land in front of and behind houses, clearings in woods, orchards and barren hills, but it is best to build the farm beside a reservoir, because wild geese are water-loving poultry.
2. Quick results from farming: Wild geese grow quickly. From hatching to 30 days of age, goslings can reach 1.25 kg; at 60 days of age they can reach 2.5 kg; at 90 days of age they can reach 3.5 to 4.5 kg; and in 4 to 6 months they can be marketed as commercial geese.
3. Low feeding cost: Wild geese have a wide range of eating habits. All kinds of green grass, green vegetables, wild vegetables, reeds and green stalks can become their main feed, as long as they are not green-free and thorn-free; in addition, only 10 to 30% concentrated feed and a small amount of additives are needed.
4. Extremely strong disease resistance: Wild geese have extremely strong disease resistance and rarely get sick, making them one of the poultry types least prone to illness in all poultry farming. If individuals with anorexia or that have left the flock are found during raising, feeding an appropriate amount of sulfonamide drugs is enough.
5. Low labor intensity: Wild geese are very afraid of people under wild conditions, but after artificial domestication they are docile in temperament. One person can free-range nearly a thousand of them, and it saves time and effort. In the peak season on the grassland, free-ranging for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon each day is enough.
Summary: That is all the editor has to introduce about the profit and cost of wild goose farming. In fact, the wild goose is an emerging farmed species, and only a few farms across the country raise it in small numbers, so it belongs to a sunrise industry, but the requirements for farming technology are still very high.
