The technique of raising geese for beginners and the budget of cost input

Feeding technology: beginners can determine the breeding scale according to their own capital, forage, labor and market sales, so as to choose a suitable breeding method, and small-scale breeding is suitable for captive breeding. on the other hand, large-scale goose breeding carries out the combination of house feeding and grazing. The budget of cost input: if you raise about 500 birds per batch, raise 2-3 batches a year, the breeding cost is about 38000 yuan.

1. The technology of raising geese and the budget of cost input for beginners.

1. Choose the way of feeding

At present, the main ways of raising geese in China are captive breeding and the combination of house feeding and grazing. Small-scale domestic geese generally adopt the traditional way of house feeding combined with grazing, while large-scale and intensive geese are recommended to raise geese.

Among them, the way of captive breeding is mainly recommended to raise geese, which can save labor, feed and reduce costs, and has the advantages of good grass quality, tender and clean grass, safety and economy, low investment and high efficiency.

2. Select the breed of meat goose

The geese with large body weight, fast growth rate, low concentrate consumption, high feed reward, strong stress resistance and wide adaptability were selected in the early stage, among which the main breeds were Longchang goose, Taihu goose and Yangzhou white goose.

1. Yangzhou White Goose: it is an excellent poultry breed with fast growth, high egg production, large body weight, strong reproductive ability and high cashmere production. The 70-day-old young geese can weigh more than 7 jin and lay an average of 72-80 eggs a year. This breed of young geese is suitable for processing saltwater geese and Phoenix geese and has a large market space in Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces and cities.

2. Longchang goose: originated in Leshan, Yibin, Wenjiang, Yongchuan, Daxian and other areas of Sichuan Province, it is known as Longchang goose in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It grows fast before 70 days old, with a weight of about 5 jin at the age of 60 days and an average weight of 7.2 jin at the age of 80 days. The young geese are fat and tender and go on the market from the age of 60 days.

3. Taihu goose: originated in Suzhou and Wuxi in the south of Jiangsu Province and Jiaxing and Huzhou in the north of Zhejiang Province, it is a small white goose breed, which is mainly used to produce young meat geese. It can be sold on the market at the age of 70 days, with an average weight of 5-5.6 jin. The full-bore slaughter rate of young geese is 64%, and the semi-clean slaughter rate is 78.6%.

3. Choose the feeding scale.

(1) the size of the breeding scale should be determined according to the farmers' capital, forage, labor and other conditions as well as market sales. If the conditions are limited and the breeding technology is not mature enough, it is not necessary to pursue large-scale breeding, otherwise it will lead to an increase in disease and mortality in geese due to improper feeding management.

(2) the scale of geese raised by most farmers in China is 500-3000 birds per batch, novice farmers generally raise about 500 birds per batch, 2-3 batches a year, experienced farmers raise 1500-2000 birds per batch, and 3-4 batches a year. Generally, the suitable scale of meat goose farmers is 1500 birds, which can be raised by 2 people. This breeding scale is relatively economical, moderate, and convenient for later management, so it is appropriate to recommend goose breeding.

4. Budget cost input

The breeding cost is mainly divided into fixed cost and mobile cost, including site construction cost, goose house construction cost, equipment purchase cost, goose seedling cost, feed cost, epidemic disease prevention cost, water and electricity cost, management cost, transportation cost and so on.

The cost is mainly determined according to the breeding scale and feeding method. Using the recommended feeding method, the fixed cost of raising 1500 meat geese is 5000 yuan. According to 5 yuan per feather, the cost of young geese is 7500 yuan, and the floating cost of raising is 25500 yuan. The total breeding cost is 38000 yuan.
