Introduction of the most excellent small goose species in China:
(6) Taihu goose
Taihu goose belongs to the egg and meat combined use type, which is one of the more famous small high-yield species in the world. Taihu goose is native to the Taihu lake area of the Yangtze River Delta, its main distribution range includes the Hangjiahu area of Zhejiang Province, the suburbs of Shanghai and most of Jiangsu Province, and many provinces and cities such as Northeast China, Hebei, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Guangdong, Guangxi and many other provinces and cities are now breeding this species of goose. The Taihu lake area has always implemented the breeding method of "breeding geese every year, which is also a major factor in the formation of Taihu goose breeds." This breeding method is to use the local natural conditions and the agricultural production season to cooperate, select the new goose breeding of the year, make full use of the eggs produced in the spring, and use the artificial hatching method to produce goose seedlings. By mid-to-late June, the goose seedlings were slow to sell, and all the goose breeding geese were eliminated. In the autumn, the original sheds and labor were still used, and then the meat goose was selected as a breed from the meat goose of that year, which improved the economic benefits of raising geese. This new way of raising only one egg-laying period for the new goose has played a role in artificial selection, and gradually formed the characteristics of Taihu geese such as small size, suitable for grazing, early ripening, egg laying, and nesting disappearance. Taihu goose has good reproductive performance and can be used as a mother for the production of meat goose. The goose meat of this species has good performance, and the "bad goose smelting" in Suzhou and the brine goose smelting in Nanjing, which are processed by Taihu geese, are very popular with people. Taihu goose produces down with good performance and high economic value. However, because it is a small goose species, the performance of fattening goose liver is not high.
(7) Open-eyed goose
The open-eyed goose belongs to the egg goose breed, because of its egg production, good meat quality, fast reproduction, no nesting, has become a more famous small goose breed in northern China. Native to laiyang region of Shandong Province, the open-eyed goose has its distribution range mainly in Changtu, Liaoning, Tonghua, Jilin and Yanshou County, Heilongjiang in the northeast, and has been introduced into many provinces and regions across the country. The open-eyed goose is named after the conspicuous opening of its two upper eyelids, and is also known as the Five Dragon Goose, the Scar-Eyed Goose, and the Open-Eyed Goose, which is a small variant of the white Chinese goose. The down performance of the open-eyed goose is better, but the fluff is slightly shorter, and its fat liver performance is slightly higher than that of the Taihu goose. The open-eyed goose is extremely cold tolerant, resistant to rough feeding, and its egg production is the highest in the world, which can be used as a mother strain to form a matching hybrid combination with fast-growing medium-sized geese. Under the condition that the grazing goose is mainly grazing and only needs to supplement a small amount of concentrate, its annual egg production can weigh 12 to 13 kg, which is comparable to that of excellent egg chickens and ducks, and the feed consumption per kilogram of eggs of this breed of goose is lower than that of chickens and ducks. As a result, through systematic breeding, a more ideal high-yield line can be bred, opening up a new field of poultry industry——— egg goose industry.
(8) Northern Fujian white goose
Northern Fujian white goose belongs to the meat type goose species, is an excellent representative of small geese, northern Fujian white goose growth rate is fast, high meat yield, resistant to rough feeding. The main production area of white goose in northern Fujian is Songxi, Zhenghe, Pucheng, Chong'an, Jianyang, Jian'ou and other counties and cities in the north of Fujian Province, and its main distribution range is Shaowu City in Nanping City, Fu'an, Zhouning, Gutian, Pingnan and other counties and cities in Ningde District.
(9) Yongkang grey goose
Yongkang grey goose belongs to the gray Chinese goose small and medium-sized breeds of goose variants, it matures early, develops quickly, has a better fat liver, is one of the main varieties of goose fat liver in China. Yongkang grey goose originates in Yongkang County, Zhejiang Province and some adjacent areas, and at present, its chicks and baby geese have been sold to various regions in Zhejiang Province, As well as Jiangsu, Shanghai and other provinces and cities.
(10) Changle Grey Goose
Changle grey goose belongs to the meat goose breed and is an excellent local goose species in Fujian Province. It takes green coarse material as the main food, saves concentrate, grows fast, has a high meat yield, can reach 3.5 to 4 kg of weight at 70 days old, the slaughter rate is about 70%, the fat liver performance is excellent, the breeding cost is low, the turnover is faster, the feeding is extensive, but it has not been systematically selected. Changle grey goose has a long history, with the ancestors of farmers in Changle County immigrated from the north, in the natural ecological conditions of the coast, after long-term breeding, formed an excellent goose species suitable for seaside grazing.
