Market Prospect of Meat Goose breeding

Some animal husbandry experts believe that the goose industry is a sunrise project with great development potential in the world. At present, the domestic and foreign market demand of goose meat is in short supply. The annual demand for geese in China is 800 million to 900 million, while the number of geese raised is only about 600 million. It is estimated that Shanghai needs 20 million geese a year, Guangzhou needs 70-80 million geese a year, Guangxi needs about 70 million geese, and Hong Kong needs 100000 geese a day. In the international market, the demand for goose meat also shows an obvious growth trend, and it is estimated that the gap is about 200 million feathers.

The nutritional value of goose products is also in line with the current green and healthy consumption trend, in which foie gras is recognized as one of the three major delicacies in the world. According to Tao Zhengrong, an expert from the Animal Husbandry Institute of Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the nutritional value of goose fatty liver is several times that of pork, with unsaturated fatty acids reaching 60%. It has multiple effects such as preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, reducing cholesterol, and scavenging free radicals.

It is reported that in the meat market consumption share, goose meat has risen from 1% 10 years ago to 4%, and is still on the rise.

The increase in goose consumption has brought huge benefits to farmers. It costs 5 yuan to buy a baby goose, and it can be sold after 70 days of breeding. The total cost is 15mur16 yuan. Based on the price of 12 yuan per jin, a goose can be sold for about 70 yuan, with a profit of 40 yuan. Goose is a kind of herbivorous poultry, which has the characteristics of low grain consumption, low input, high output, easy to raise, high benefit and suitable for farmers, so it is very suitable for raising in our province. Goose breeding is listed by the Ministry of Agriculture as the preferred project to develop rural economy and drive farmers to get rich.
