South African quail geese bring the way to get rich

Qu Hao is feeding the quail geese.

On October 13, Chen Chao, a young man from Jiangyou, came to Group 12 of Maan Village, Huacheng Town, Anxian County, to investigate a kind of quail geese imported from South Africa that looked like ducks. Qu Hao, 22, who is in charge of the farm, welcomed him warmly. "if you want to raise it, you have to choose the venue first. We'll take care of the technical problems."

In 2014, when qu Hao was traveling in Cape Town, South Africa, he ate a very delicious meat. After inquiry, we know that this is a domesticated quail goose with high nutritional value.

Can you raise this kind of wild goose in Anxian County, your hometown? After a preliminary investigation, qu Hao learned that this kind of wild goose is rarely raised in China, and the market potential is huge. As a result, qu Hao took several retired comrades-in-arms and transferred nearly 100 mu of mountain woodland in his hometown with his girlfriend. At the end of March this year, 5000 breeding eggs were introduced at the price of 35 yuan each.

During the incubation period, qu Hao stayed by the incubator every day, breaking the shell for a few days or even watching all night. However, after more than 2700 young geese were hatched, the other eggs disappeared. Qu Hao took the eggs to the veterinarian to see, only to know that these eggs were not fertilized, "equivalent to paying a tuition fee of more than 80,000 yuan."

For this batch of young seedlings hatched, qu Hao took good care of them and modestly sought advice from veterinarians, technicians from county animal husbandry and veterinary bureaus, and poultry farmers. He "recharged" marketing knowledge online, and carefully summarized and recorded the details of breeding. Finally, he gradually became familiar with the living habits of fragrant quail geese: they like warmth and fear of cold, love cleaning, eating miscellaneous food, and strong disease resistance.

After half a year of careful breeding, these more than 2000 quail geese have grown to five or six jin. "although it is not yet on the market, it has received a lot of intentional orders from restaurants." Qu Hao said that people around them have also expressed their desire to raise them. "in more than a month, the female geese will begin to lay eggs. At that time, we will hand over the hatched geese to the people around us to raise them, so as to drive everyone to get rich together. " Qu Hao said.

Beside the farm, Nongjiale is nearing completion. "when tourists come, they can not only fish and swim, but also enjoy the delicacy of quail geese." Qu Hao said that next, he will invite the chef to develop dishes, let the sweet quail geese really enter the public table, and use the "rural Taobao shop" to sell fragrant wild goose eggs and wild goose meat online.
