How to Get Rich Raising Geese: Fang Benchun's Farming Experience

Among the poultry raised by farming families, geese command a relatively high purchase price, generally around 100 yuan per goose. Because goose meat is a nutritious and healthy food that is high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol, its consumer market is also constantly expanding, which provides a great market opportunity for developinggoose farming. Fang Benchun, a villager from Yingchun Village in Yingchun Town of our city, has firmly seized this opportunity and keeps expanding the scale of his goose farming.

Fang Benchun is a villager from Yingchun Village in Yingchun Town. Because his family had many people and little land, Fang Benchun began raising commercial geese in 2005, but at first commercial goose farming did not bring him good economic returns, which distressed him greatly. A few years ago, while talking withgoose farmingspecialized households in other regions, he learned about some preferential policies for purchasing breeding geese, and Fang Benchun was tempted. He immediately contacted a goose industry company and traveled there to inspect the quality of its breeding geese. Company staff also came to Yingchun Town to inspect the local environment and climate on site. In May 2015, the two sides reached an agreement: Fang Benchun purchased 3,000 Northeast Lion White goose goslings from the company, and the company would buy back breeding eggs according to orders. In this way, Fang Benchun began his journey of breeding goose farming, but a few years ago, Fang Benchun's goose farming path ran into difficulties again.

After this incident, Fang Benchun realized the importance of disease prevention, so he began to focus on improving his own knowledge of goose farming disease prevention. He often went to bookstores to buy professional books to study. Through Fang Benchun's efforts, the economic benefits of the farm this year have improved significantly. According to Fang Benchun, the Lion White goose has very high economic value, and every part of it is a treasure. The Lion White goose has a high egg production rate, with the laying period lasting up to 7 months, and each breeding goose can lay 140-180 eggs in total, so the economic benefits are very considerable; its down is snow white and fine, with large down clusters and excellent elasticity and warmth retention, making it the first choice of down processing plants; culled breeding geese have delicious meat and high nutritional value, and are favored by many consumers. In the new year, Fang Benchun also has new plans for the farm.
