Liang Kun: lead the villagers to raise Lande geese to become rich

Walking into the Anhui Sky Goose Industry Co., Ltd., Guohe Town, Lujiang County, Anhui Province, I saw groups of gray Lande geese leisurely looking for food and playing in the fields under the woods, by the pond and in the fields. "these 2000 geese are about to enter the stage of filling and fattening." Liang Kun, chairman of the company, grabbed a handful of grass and threw it at the geese, and the geese immediately rushed to grab food.

Why feed and gain weight? isn't it easier to sell the geese directly?

"We raise geese not to sell live geese, but to get foie gras." Liang Kun explained. "this kind of goose is called Lande goose, which is native to France and has grayish brown feathers. It is a special breed for producing goose fat liver."

Liang Kun used to be the director of a Lande goose farm in Beijing. in his work, he not only mastered the technology of Lande goose breeding, but also knew a lot about the market of goose fat liver. "in 2004, the market gap of foie gras was very large. The annual domestic production of foie gras was less than 200 tons, but at that time the domestic demand was about 600 tons. The sales price was decided by the manufacturers, and one kilogram was sold for 240 to 260 yuan."

Liang Kun calculated an account, "the breeding cost of a goose adds up to more than 130 yuan. Goose body and feathers can be sold for 50 to 60 yuan, plus liver can be sold for more than 150 yuan, and the profit margin for a goose is 50 to 80 yuan."

In 2005, Liang Kun invested 3 million yuan to set up a goose industry company in Guohe Town, Lujiang County, and signed a contract with farmers to raise Lande geese.

"We provide goose seedlings and feed to farmers and guarantee a profit of 10 to 15 yuan per goose." Liang Kun promised that the goose seedlings and feed would be deducted from the sale of Gjinzom when the geese were recovered, and that the breeding technology and medicine would be provided free of charge by the company. However, Liang Kun requires farmers to raise Lande geese in places rich in water and grass, and regularly feed the geese with concentrate feed, with a goose weighing not less than 4 kilograms.

After recovering the geese in batches, Liang Kun had to pre-feed the geese for two weeks, and then concentrated feeding to feed the Lande geese with medium rare's corn soaked in boiling water, each goose was fed at least three times a day. After the expiration of the filling and feeding period, enter the slaughtering process of pure manual operation. The slaughtered Lande geese should be pre-cooled in a freezer of 1 ~ 5 degrees Celsius for 8 hours until the liver reaches a certain hardness before the liver can be removed. "the foie gras fed should be more than 1000 grams."

Liang Kun cooperated with five township farmers with stocking conditions in Lujiang County. at present, the breeding volume has reached 150000, and more than 300 farmers have participated in Lande goose breeding. At the same time, the quality of foie gras produced and processed is higher than before, with an annual output of 110 to 120 tons, accounting for 15% to 20% of the national output, and sales revenue of nearly 100 million yuan.
