In recent days, "Gaoming Sanzhou Black Goose" is about to become a geographical indication certification trademark for agricultural products, which has aroused heated discussion in society, and the brand building of Gaoming agricultural products has ushered in a new milestone. The clever pattern of "six mountains, one water and three fields" has always been committed to creating the ecological environment as a city business card. It is the superior ecological environment that allows Gaoming to produce famous and excellent agricultural products such as black goose and Heshui powder kudzu in Sanzhou, and has become the main front for the country to carry out adaptive protection activities for shrew rewilding.

Black Goose of Three Continents
Excellent ingredients for nutrition and deliciousness
Goose has a long history as an ingredient. Since ancient times, the goose is one of the six animals, goose meat is rich in protein, low in fat content, contains a considerable amount of trace elements, is a rare and good ingredient. There are different species of geese all over the country, among which the Sanzhou black mane goose is one of the excellent goose species in Guangdong.
The sanzhou black mane goose is the sanzhou black goose. The head, mouth, feet, webbing and other parts of this goose are black, the feathers on the neck, back and tail are gray-black, and the feathers on the chest and abdomen are white. Therefore, there are also many records that directly record the appearance of the black goose in Sanzhou as follows: the whole body is black except for the chest and abdomen.
The history of the Gaoming people breeding black geese in Sanzhou has been nearly a hundred years. As the name suggests, the Sanzhou black goose was originally concentrated in the Gaoming Sanzhou area and got its name, which is a local excellent goose species cultivated by Gaoming farmers for a long time. In the 1990s, Sanzhou Black Goose became very popular after exporting to Hong Kong and Macao, and quickly enjoyed popularity in the market. Sanzhou Black Goose has gradually become a well-known agricultural brand.
Liang Huakang, who won the finals of the 100 Villages Famous Vegetable Championship in Gaoming District, his best dish is to cook the three treasure geese with sanzhou black goose. In his opinion, only the flesh of the Sanzhou black goose can make the delicious taste he wants. Liang Huakang said that the eight or nine pounds of Sanzhou black goose is just fat and lean, and the meat is delicious, which is favored by diners.
In addition to the general practice, Cantonese roast goose is also a stage for Sanzhou black goose to show itself. Because the Sanzhou black goose is moderate in size, the fat meat is tender, the bone is fine and smooth, and the roast goose roasted with it is softer and tougher than the general roast goose meat, so that it is fat but not greasy, fresh and smooth.
"Gaoming Sanzhou Black Goose" became the certification trademark of geographical indication of agricultural products, and in the future, "Sanzhou Black Goose" successfully declared the geographical indication of agricultural products, so that whether a goose can become a real Sanzhou black goose has strict regulations. The relevant person in charge of the Gaoming District Agricultural Technology Center said that in the future, the geese that are not farmed in accordance with the prescribed methods and do not conform to the breeding time cannot be called Sanzhou black goose. The status of the Black Goose in Sanzhou is more prominent in the high-quality agricultural products.
It is reported that since 2020, Gaoming District has launched the project of building a modern animal husbandry demonstration area in Miao, and introduced a number of professional breeding enterprises in Miao village of Mingcheng Town, developing the agricultural industry around The Black Goose in Sanzhou and further polishing the agricultural brand of The Black Goose in Sanzhou.

Heshui pink kudzu
The "fist product" of smart agricultural products
At a time when The Black Goose in Sanzhou was still working hard to declare the geographical indication of agricultural products, Gaoming had already had an agricultural product successfully selected. It is the famous Heshui powder kudzu.
As early as 2006, Heshui powder kudzu passed the audit of the relevant state departments and became a national geographical indication agricultural product. At the same time, Heshui powder kudzu is also one of the famous and excellent new agricultural products in the country. Located in the Heshui area at the western end of Gaoming, the varieties of kudzu that are planted are different from other regions because the soil is mainly sandy and the land is fertile. Heshui powder Kudzu is less succulent and juicy, the meat is tender, sweet and refreshing, and the taste is unique.
In the 1970s, Heshui powder kudzu was introduced from the Xinhui area by local farmers in Heshui and gradually promoted. In the 1990s, heshui area began to plant and promote heshui powder kudzu on a large scale, and the reputation of heshui powder kudzu gradually spread, becoming the most well-known agricultural product in Gaoming. Today, the area of cultivated powder kudzu in Genghe Town is close to 10,000 mu, which is a veritable "fist product" among high-quality agricultural products.
Huang Jianping, head of Foshan Fuyi Pink Kudzu Professional Cooperative, has 40 years of experience in planting, purchasing and selling kudzu. He said that Heshui Powder Kudzu has been exported to home and abroad, and its excellent quality has withstood the double test of time and the market.
The reason why Heshui Powder Kudzu has been loved by "foodies" for decades is that in addition to its own high quality, the variety of eating methods of Heshui Powder Kudzu is also one of the reasons. It is understood that the powder kudzu itself is of the same origin as medicine and food, which is both food and a taste of Chinese herbal medicine, which is very suitable for people to regulate physical discomfort in autumn and winter. The rich dietary fiber of pink kudzu can remove the spleen and stomach deficiency fire, relieve the greasy, and benefit the health of the body.
In addition to the efficacy of kudzu, kudzu has a high content of pueraria, pueraria xylogin, soybean flavonoids, etc., especially rich in starch. One of the deep processing processes of Heshui kudzu is to air-dry the slices of kudzu to make kudzu slices, or to grind it finely to make kudzu powder. Huang Jianping said that the taste of pure handmade kudzu powder is much better than that made by machine, and brewing kudzu powder with black tea drinking has a certain health care effect.

Grow the shrew population
Highlight the advantages of a smart ecological environment
Whether it is the black goose in Sanzhou or the powdered kudzu in Heshui, the successful creation of agricultural product brands is inseparable from the unique ecological environment. In recent years, the superior ecological environment has made great contributions to the breeding and protection of the endangered animal shrew (pronounced "yuan").
It belongs to the turtle family , but is distinctly different in appearance from the general turtle. The shrew has a very short snout, a fairly small head, and a broad circle on the back, and generally lives in slow-flowing freshwater rivers. In fact, the existence of the shrew dates back thousands of years and has been a common folk animal before. In "Journey to the West", it is described that the animal that camels the Tang monks and disciples across the Tongtian River is a giant shrew. However, due to changes in the ecological environment and other factors, the number of shrews has decreased sharply in modern times until it has become an endangered animal.
Due to coincidence, the Wanluyuan Turtle Breeding and Conservation Research Base in Foshan City, located in Gaoming, inadvertently acquired 4 shrews in the 1980s, which were only raised as turtles at that time, and were only discovered by the Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences in previous years, and identified as shrews that were endangered.

Soon, the research base cooperated with the Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences to use the eggs laid by adult giant shrews for artificial incubation, and finally successfully broke through the technical bottleneck and artificially bred a generation of young shrews. This is the largest population of artificially bred young shrews on the mainland so far, and the base has become the only scientific research base for artificial breeding of young shrews.
Artificial breeding is only the first step in protecting the weasel. In 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs found that the superior ecological environment is very suitable for carrying out the adaptive protection activities of rewilding shrews. So after many investigations and investigations, the Tanli Reservoir was finally selected to release 20 shrews known only as "giant pandas in the water" back into nature.
While these 20 ferrets are freely active in the intelligent ecological environment, experts carry out corresponding research on their rewilding adaptive protection, and lay a scientific theoretical foundation for restoring the reproductive viability of shrews under natural conditions, gradually expanding the population, and naturally reproducing and surviving in nature through a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the wild life habits of shrews.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Gaoming clearly proposed to do a good job in the protection of germplasm resources of shrews, and will rely on the shrew conservation base to plan and build a provincial agricultural science and technology park, and highlight the advantages of the ecological environment through the growth of the shrew population.
