Hello my friends when you think of geese what is the first thing that comes to your mind a type of noisy poultry for grass with its unique fatty flavor or this fragrant roast Goose but have you ever thought of a goose as a lawn mowing tool
You heard right that’s how Chinese Farmers think about lion headed geese in today’s video we will explore how Chinese farmers raise hundreds of millions of lion headed [Music] geese lion headed Goose farms in China are often located in rural areas with access to
Large bodies of water because geese need ample space to swim these Farms are often managed by small traditional livestock Farmers many people will never forget the feeling of seeing a goose with a lion head for the first time because this Goose’s head is very large on its face there is
A tumor like a lion’s head the special point is that the size of this tumor will be proportional to the age of the goose lion headed goose native to guon Province China this is one of the largest geese species in the world and weighs three times more than normal geese related statistics show
That the average weight of lion headed geese is 35 I to 47 I the highest can reach 65 I not only that lion headed geese scare other geese because of their Strong attacking attributes they are considered the King of geese and have outstanding advantages that normal geese cannot
Match compared to regular geese the superiority of Lin headed geese is not only reflected in white and price the meat quality of the lion headed goose is also very delicious and very popular locally normally Goose meat has a slightly fishy taste however lion head Goose meat does not
Have this drawback it is moderately soft and chewy in addition to being rich in protein and low in fat it is also rich in nutrients and has many types of amino acids that are good for the body because lion headed geese also have good medicinal value they are a leading product
In the dietary therapy of traditional Chinese medicine in addition lion head goose feathers are also a highquality material to make down jackets which have an extremely good warming effect Farmers with many years of experience say that the growth rate of geese is influenced by
Genetic factors so choosing healthy parents and good breeding procedures can improve the growth rate and meat quality of geese Farmers often go to seed Farms to see their quality and their living environment before deciding to buy after many years of observing their growth process Farmers
Realized that lion headed geese have breeding activities that occur in the fall and winter for short periods of time in contrast reproductive activity occurring in spring and summer will have a longer period due to seasonal breeding the lion headed Goose breed has low egg productivity an
Average of 25 to 30 eggs per year and such low fertility seriously hinders the development of local industry until now the lion headed goose is the best Goose breed raised by the Chinese however the number of Farmers willing to raise this type of geese is very limited why do you think people
Are afraid to raise lion headed geese that bring High economic benefits because input and output are not proportional besides the profit level is not attractive or safe Farmers actually discovered the price advantage of lion headed geese but the difficulties encountered in the breeding process
Completely overwhelmed its advantages the growth cycle of lion headed geese usually lasts from 3 to 4 months during this time the geese will grow from goslings to adults suitable for Slaughter compared to other poultry species although the lion headed Goose grows very quickly its growth
Cycle is very long during their entire growth cycle they will consume a lot of food every day however the problem lies in finding food compared to normal geese the foraging ability of lion headed geese is very poor therefore they basically rely entirely on food provided by humans
If raised in small quantities Farmers feel it is not cost [Music] effective although there are very few people raising lion headed geese the overall market for l L headed geese in China is still very good according to data provided by the China livestock Association and the food and
Agriculture organization of the world China is the country with the largest production of lion headed geese the volume of Slaughter and livestock production accounts for 93.3% of the world’s total output here lion headed geese are often raised on a large scale now and can create great economic
Benefits some Farmers believe that raising lion geese is a risky way to get rich but worth a try these are the new members of the farm they are 3 to 5 day old goslings they are learning to adapt to everything before starting their grazing life because Lane headed geese have high requirements
For Habitat especially in this weak early stage the environment is suitable for them to survive in places with high temperatures temperatures that are too low will slow their growth or develop other diseases Farmers also encounter many problems when raising lion headed geese including
Their aggressive nature lion headed geese are species with a strong sense of territory when outside creatures enter their territory geese will be alert and quick Counterattack when danger strikes because of this characteristic farmers are sometimes attacked by them during
Contact the purpose of people raising lion headed geese is not to lay eggs because the lion headed Goose’s egg lay period is very short at most 2 to 4 years and it loses its ability to reproduce after the fifth year however they still rely on those eggs to to supplement their breeding stock
Because the cost of buying breeding geese is quite high before entering the incubation stage the important step is to choose the egg size uniform shape and without any signs of damage farmers will gently wipe the eggs to remove any dirt or contaminants that could affect their
Development the process of incubating eggs with an incubator is strictly controlled with temperature and humidity creating a warm environment for eggs to develop the stable temperature is usually around 99 to 100° F Farmers often use high-intensity light to observe the internal
Development of eggs this way they can detect any abnormalities or health problems in them early after about a month the eggs will hatch into goslings like this similar to purchased breeds they continue to be warmed by lamps in the barn until the goslings adapt to the natural
Environment now we will come to the problem I mentioned at the beginning of the video These geese are likened to a grass cutting machine because they can eat the roots of plants including the roots as a natural green food source for them taking advantage of this feature Farmers often
Graze geese in Orchard areas so that lion headed geese help farmers clear weeds you can see the area where the lion geese pass through has almost been cleared of grass this not only maximizes economic efficiency on the same land area but the tree canopy also helps the lion headed geese have
A place to hide from the Sun geese are species that have the ability to gain weight very quickly after only 10 to 11 weeks of rearing the body mass has increased about 45 times compared to the body
Weight at hatching Farmers said that using normal food geese still grow well however if geese are raised with mixed food the growth rate of geese will be much faster that’s why they created this mixed feed which is a blend of greens corn and brown in fact farmers do not need to prepare
Mixed food that is too smooth puree this group of lion headed geese can completely eat all this food in one morning in addition to eating and drinking swimming is also considered an important part of the Natural Life of lion headed geese with many benefits that help them clean their
Feathers regulate body temperature and maintain muscles Farmers let them swim to relieve stress and search for different natural food sources geese can simultaneously search for different natural food sources they found that compared to geese raised in cages geese raised in this
Natural way had better results this Behavior helps them maintain a balanced diet providing water and fiber at the same time they express their Natural Instincts and comfort in their living environment on this Farm the lion headed geese have reached maturity and are ready
For Slaughter after checking the weight and health status the geese are loaded onto the truck by the farmer adult lion headed geese will be sold at markets or restaurants in the area the lion headed goose is the star of this restaurant because its meat texture and flavor can please everyone including picky guests
From Tiny geese like these under the care of farmers they gradually grow until they grow up like this this is really a long journey this development is also the result of the efforts of farmers at the end of our journey to discover how Chinese Farmers rais millions
Of lion headed geese we see that farmers not only choose to raise lion headed geese not only for profit but also to create an appearance new for the traditional livestock [Music] industry the Sun Peaks out from behind the trees Ducks roam the fields
This is a familiar scene in Duck raising countries in Asia but how did ducks in the field like this appear on your plate in today’s video we follow the farmers to find the answer at the same time learn how farmers raise millions of
Ducks while in developed countries like Russia France and Canada ducks are raised in closed cage systems most ducks in developing countries are raised in the traditional way compared to chickens ducks are more difficult to keep in cages because they are dirtier than chickens
And need access to water the ideal life for ducks is to graze in Fields they will have plenty of space to roam explore new fields and spacious water areas so the duck’s body also has features adapted to living in and near water with webbed feet a waterproof plumage and down to keep
Warm in Winter ducks have several advantages over other poultry species especially their resistance to disease they are hearty excellent forages and easy to raise especially in Wetlands where they tend to congregate in herds you can see that the warehouse holds quite a few bags
Of food all to meet the huge consumption needs of the Ducks every day he needs to bring about three to five bags of food to the fields for them like this one disadvantage of ducks when raised
And fed a balanced diet is the high amount of food wasted because their beak is shaped like a shovel this leads to less efficient use of their food because they have no way to eat all of the food provided this explains why their meat and eggs are more expensive than chicken
However ducks have an advantage in that they can have very satisfactory yields even when the food quality is not the best therefore besides animal feed ducks will be taken to the fields in the morning to get food during the harvest season and return home in the afternoon after
About 29 days these eggs will hatch at this time the facility owner will select healthy breeds for the breeder at this Farm one day old ducks are delivered weekly and they are kept warm for up to 14 days with heat lamps fed with food besides they are vaccinated to prevent poultry diseases
After careful raising and Care in the barn healthy ducklings begin to get used to new foods here they will get used to the environment with water and solar temperature finally the ducklings will be transported by Farmers to the fields to begin the process of grazing and foraging in the natural
Environment in Southeast Asian countries native ducks have been commonly raised for centuries for meat or eggs in Indonesia and the Philippines alone ducks are mainly raised for eggs not for meat duck meat is consumed mainly by the Chinese Hong Kong Japanese and
Korean communities and most of it is imported from Asia about 40% of duck meat Imports go to these three countries meanwhile Singapore is the largest importer of live ducks for processing about 30 million USD per year another important byproduct is fertilizer which has high
Economic value whether sold by Farmers or apply directly to crops feathers can also be sold in mixed Livestock systems other products such as eggshells can be used as feed for other farm animals duck farming is an important sector of the poultry industry in Indonesia Thailand and
Vietnam this is a form of permanent duck farming they are allowed to graze around the village and are protected at night near The Village’s house in the village meanwhile with mobile farming like this Ducks will be moved between areas where rice has just been harvested they
Can stay there for 1 to 2 days looking for food in rice growing countries synergies between duck and rice production can be seen widely grazed ducks act as natural Predators against insects and snails the role of ducks as predators and producers of natural fertilizers contributes to
Higher yields integrating Ducks into rice farming has also helped Farmers cope with the impacts of climate change while also limiting the use of pesticides therefore most Farmers have chosen this technique so that the rice produced can be sold at a higher price in addition Farmers
Often combine duck farming with fish farming to bring sustainable development to small farmers some Farmers say ducklings can destroy young crops not only that when the crops begin to bear fruit it is also time to chase Ducks away to avoid them from destroying them although no
Duck will lay eggs every day most Ducks will lay all winter long without needing any supplemental lighting you can expect about 250 to 325 eggs per year from these ducks Farmers also closely monitor them during the breeding process to avoid egg loss because they can lay eggs here or right
In the field there is no specific schedule or location farmers can only observe search and try to harvest the entire crop after harvesting the eggs will be sold to Traders and production Facility Owners right in the field like this dogs will be companions to farmers during the grazing
Process regardless of the terrain it tries to stay close to the Ducks to protect them at the end of the day before putting the Ducks back on the truck farmers will check the number again in case the
Ducks get stuck like this in the rice fields a normal organic rice Farm will require a lot of Labor to kill weeds and maintain soil Health but the natural movement of ducts will help irate and strengthen the soil the reduction in human effort facilitated by this process allows Farmers to
Diversify their production base and potentially generate price premiums from attractive food markets in Thailand some Farmers have chosen to switch to the barbery duck breed introduced by the royal family due to its unique meat quality besides the year- round availability of barbery
Duck products is the key to convincing customers each barbery duck can weigh up to 8 I so it takes about 65 to8 85 days to grow while other duck breeds need about 45 days this means fewer production Cycles however the price of barbery duck is higher at 3.21 USD
Kg a Farmer’s Day on a duck farm in northern Mexico often starts very early the first job of the day is to check if the Ducks are healthy check all the feeders and cover them with straw besides he also adjust the temperature so that the Ducks feel comfortable when the
Outside temperature increases the end of the day is cleaning up to ensure hygiene is maintained at a standard level on the farm at 6 or 7 weeks old Ducks raised for meat can be sent to the slaughter house here ducks are cleaned preserved and sold as packaged products they are consumed
In the domestic Market through retailers and restaurants about 68% of nads raise only one flock per year 18% raise two flocks in a year depending on the breed and purpose of raising Ducks the number of workers involved ranges from 1 to 7 depending on the herd’s size breeders often
Live in tents with their families to cook and store additional food for the [Music] Ducks you see not only is it hard to care for duck Farmers have to bear many health risks due to long-term exposure to ammonia and dust from manure feed feathers and other particles
Farmers are likely to suffer from chronic bronchitis asthma runny nose and eye irritation
