Planting grass and raising geese -- a good way to get rich

Introduction: geese are very common poultry There are several in many rural yards Because it's common, many people don't expect to make a lot of money raising geese, but Zhai Guiyu, director of Shandong Animal Husbandry center, thinks that planting grass to raise geese is a good way to get rich in rural areas The data shows that compared with other livestock and poultry, the input cost of raising goose is much less 1 For the breeding of pigs, chickens, ducks and other livestock and poultry, the feed generally accounts for about 70% of the feeding cost The developed stomach of geese makes it have strong digestion ability to grass and can make full use of green forage such as grass Due to the wide source and low price of green feed, the feed cost of geese only accounts for about 50% of the feeding cost, which is much lower than that of other livestock and poultry In addition, geese over three weeks old can graze freely in the grass area, which can greatly reduce the consumption of refined feed Second, the disease resistance of geese is strong, the cost of epidemic prevention and treatment in production is low, and the feeding cost is also reduced III geese have strong resistance to adversity and good adaptability to environment, so the infrastructure needed is simple It is enough to build drafting shed and equip some feeding and water supply equipment, and the fixed investment is less than other livestock and poultry Zhai said that although geese mainly eat grass, they grow very fast, especially in the early stage Good lion head geese can grow to about 6 kg in 70 days, only about 135 g at birth; some good foreign geese can grow to 4 kg in 60 days; that is to say, the local small geese in Shandong Province need only 90 days to grow to 4 kg in normal breeding and management During the interview in Changqing County, the reporter learned that a farmer surnamed Chen in Niushan village, Chengguan town raised 200 geese by himself last year, bringing salted goose eggs with him, with an income of more than 10000 yuan, which did not delay the farming High value market good Zhai said that at present, geese not only have high economic value, but also have a broad market prospect Goose is rich in nutrition, protein content is higher than chicken, duck, cattle, sheep, pork, amino acid content is also higher than chicken, and there are rich unsaturated fatty acids, which can be processed into a variety of meat products The most important thing is that geese mainly eat green feed and refuse to eat all kinds of feed additives, so as to avoid drug residues It is a standard green food, in line with the current fashion of people advocating green consumption From the perspective of consumer market, people in the European Union and the Middle East prefer to eat goose, and China's consumption area is mainly in the south Goose fatty liver has a delicious taste It contains lecithin, DNA, RNA and other nutrients It has long been recognized as a high-grade food It has been selling well in the international market It once sold for 35 dollars per kilogram Goose down is expensive in price, high in output, good in elasticity, less in water absorption and wear resistance The products processed with goose down are light, thin, warm and beautiful, which are very popular with consumers at home and abroad In addition, the value of "water" of geese can not be ignored The content of serum protein and immune protein in goose blood is relatively high, which can effectively enhance human immunity after eating The anticancer drugs produced by goose blood have also been on the market Deoxycholic acid in goose gall can be used to make dissolving drugs for treating gallstones and kidney stones, and bile can also be used to extract antibacterial drugs and bilirubin Goose brain can extract various hormone analogues To sum up, raising geese is an industry with less investment and good benefits Although the management of breeding is relatively simple, more work is needed to really raise it We should pay attention to the following points in raising geese: studying carefully and mastering all kinds of breeding techniques; selecting varieties suitable for local environmental conditions; planning and building a good site, which requires not only grass but also water; doing a good job in epidemic prevention to prevent entering the epidemic area of poultry disease; making careful calculation to reduce the cost of breeding It should be noted that in addition to the supplementary feed, the green feed is also very important for the growth of geese Without enough green feed, geese not only grow slowly, but also are prone to digestive and metabolic diseases, so it is very important to ensure sufficient supply of green feed Due to the decrease of natural grassland in recent years, it is difficult to ensure sufficient feed source only by natural stocking, which needs to be supplemented by artificial grass planting So, how to combine the work of grass planting and goose raising organically to maximize the benefits? In this regard, director Zhai put forward several suggestions: first, forage varieties for geese When establishing the artificial grassland for geese, pay attention to the selection of varieties suitable for geese to eat, good palatability and trample resistance, such as alfalfa, perennial ryegrass, white clover, red clover, chicken foot grass, cat tail grass and other permanent varieties, or winter grazing 70 rye, Ixeris, Sudan grass and other seasonal varieties 2 Forage varieties for captive geese In addition to the variety of geese, the green and juicy leafy herbages, such as grain amaranth, Rumex, chuanyesongcao, chicory, Ixeris, Mexico corn and so on, are mainly selected 3 Perennial forage supply mode 1 Annual rotation For example, Mexican corn and winter grazing 70 rye rotate in summer, autumn and winter and spring respectively 2 Perennial and annual interplanting For example, leave enough space when planting Rumex, chuanyesong vanilla and chicory, which is convenient for interplanting 70 rye, Mexico corn and Sudan grass 3 Between perennial and annual In order to solve the problem of perennial ryegrass withering and alfalfa weak growth in summer, Sudan grass and Ixeris can be intercropped in summer 4 Interplanting perennial forage in forest In the woods, orchards and other places, the shade resistant chicken foot grass and white clover are planted, which not only provides feed for geese, but also does not affect the growth of trees.
