In 2018, the farming industry saw its largest shortfall, making it the right time to profit from farming

Goose farming is a project with low input, high output and good returns; geese are highly adaptable, tolerant of coarse feed and have a relatively short growth cycle. Goose farming is a relatively high-value way to make money.

Super high profits

With the development of economic levels, chicken and duck meat can no longer satisfy the general public's demands for poultry meat; at this point goose meat has come to the fore, and its share of the meat market is growing day by day.

Taking the model of growing grass to raise geese as an example, raising 1500 meat geese, within one growth cycle of the meat geese, the slaughter weight can reach 3.5 kg per bird, and the market price per kg of meat goose is above 10 yuan; calculated at 10 yuan per kg, you can earn 52500 yuan.

After deducting goslings, feed, water and electricity, disease prevention, labor costs and goose house construction and various other inputs,the pure profit from raising one batch of geese is actually 10500 wan yuan. The growth cycle of meat geese is 70 days, so at this rate,you can earn more than 50000 yuan a year。

A big market gap

Following duck down, goose down has seized the down market with rapid momentum; goose down has now become the most popular and most active commodity in the down industry, with an annual trade volume of as much as 45000 tons.

China is the country that raises the most geese, produces the most down and exports the most in the world. As far as the domestic market is concerned, our country's goose meat market has always been in a state of supply falling short of demand, and the number raised is far from keeping up with demand.

For goose farming, it is best to adopt the model of grazing plus supplementary feeding; this not only saves part of the feed but also lets the geese exercise during grazing, enhancing the firmness of the goose meat. Goslings are quoted at about 10 yuan each; calculated at 10 yuan, after deducting feed, water and electricity, disease prevention, labor costs and many other expenses,the pure profit per goose can reach as much as 20-30 yuan。

Farming prospects

Compared with ordinary poultry such as chickens and ducks, the utilization rate of geese is relatively high; down, goose liver, goose feet, goose head, goose tongue, goose neck, goose wings, intestines, tendons, stomach, blood and so on are all valuable best-sellers. It can be said that the whole goose is a treasure.

Those who have the means can also contact goose product processing plants to process goose products directly; processed goose products will bring more profit than selling live geese directly.

The advantages of goose farming

1. An income-increasing project for rural people who remain in the countryside.Goose farming is a labor-intensive industry; rural women and elderly people who remain in the countryside can all take it up, and it can help families ease their economic burden.

2. Low feed cost for goose farming.Comparing goose farming with pig farming, the same amount of feed used to raise geese can yield higher output than raising pigs. Geese grow relatively fast, have high feed utilization, a relatively short raising cycle and faster economic turnover.

3. Geese have strong vitality and disease resistance, wide adaptability and tolerance of extensive rearing; they do not need high-level raising facilities, and the farming scale can be large or small, making them suitable for farmers to raise.

4. Geese can grow together and develop in coordination with industries such as fish, fruit and forestry as well as crops such as corn and peanuts, with good ecological benefits.

How much startup capital is needed to raise geese?

For goose farming, the upfront capital preparation mainly includes: site rental fees, goose house construction fees, equipment purchase fees, gosling fees, feed fees, disease prevention and control fees, water and electricity fees, and management, transport, sales and other expenses. The amount of capital depends on the farming scale and raising method.

For example: adopting the model of growing grass to raise geese, raising 1500 meat geese requires fixed capital of 0.5 wan yuan, gosling fees of 1.5 wan yuan (calculated at 10 yuan per bird), and working capital for raising of 2.55 wan yuan,totaling 4.55 wan yuan of farming funds to be raised, and then you can normally carry out meat goose farming production.

Warm reminder: as people's awareness of food safety, nutrition and health care grows day by day, consumer demand for goose products is increasing day by day, and the market potential of goose products is huge; however, sales channels are the top priority for any farming industry, and those who want to go into this type of farming need to think about the sales problem in advance.
