Daqing goose breeding is expected to hit a new high

Under the strong guidance and publicity of the Daqing municipal party committee and municipal government and relevant departments in Heilongjiang Province, the breeding of geese in Daqing City will reach a new high this year. Under the sluggish market of dairy cows and pigs, the recovery of goose breeding is expected to open up a new situation for the development of animal husbandry in Daqing.

This year, Daqing is expected to develop 12 million geese, an increase of 20% over the same period last year. After deducting the stock of nearly 2 million at the beginning of this year, 6 million new developments are expected in the four counties and 4 million in urban areas.

Farming cost is the focus of farmers' breeding. Due to the influence of high price of goose chicks, high breeding cost and low sales price in 2008, the benefit of goose breeding was low in 2008, which once fell into a depression, which directly affected the enthusiasm of farmers to raise geese in 2009. at present, most farmers are still waiting and waiting.

The low price of goose chicks is the key to the growth of breeding income and confidence this year. The average price of goose chicks this year is 5.5 yuan per goose, which is 54.2% lower than that of 12 yuan per goose last year. The breeding cost of each big goose after deducting the breeding cost of goose chicks is about 15 yuan. Therefore, the breeding cost is about 20 yuan this year and about 27 yuan last year. Each adult goose is about 7 jin, according to last year's price of 5.4 yuan / jin, this year's expected price is 6 yuan / jin, so this year's income will be about 22 yuan, an increase of 100% over the previous year's 11 yuan.

The total income of geese in the city is expected to reach nearly 400 million yuan this year, accounting for about 5-6% of the total output of animal husbandry.
