Sanxi Wild Geese

Sanxi Wild Geese

　　Sanxi Wild Geese are a specialty of Sanxi Town, Jingde County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province. Also known as gray geese, they belong to the duck family and are a type of swan. They grow quickly, have a high survival rate, strong reproductive capacity, good disease resistance, large body size, and primarily feed on grass. They are not only a highly sought-after delicacy but also a nutritious tonic that strengthens muscles and enhances vitality.

　　The Jingde County Feihong Wild Goose Breeding Professional Cooperative was established in October 2006. It was initiated by Chen Benli, a major wild goose breeder in Luxi Village, Sanxi Town, Jingde County, and a provincial-level leader in rural entrepreneurship. In response to market demand, the cooperative mainly engages in the breeding, farming, processing, and sales of wild geese. It now has 63 members, 1,200 acres of artificial pasture, and 2,000 acres of natural pasture. Annually, it raises 4,000 breeding geese, provides 42,000 goslings, and supplies 37,500 commercial meat geese.

　　Through years of effort, the cooperative has rapidly moved onto a path of standardized, regulated, and industrialized development. In 2008, it obtained the "Xuancheng City Breeding Livestock and Poultry Production License." In 2009, its wild goose products received organic product certification. In 2010, the wild goose farm was designated as a municipal-level standardized livestock and poultry breeding demonstration zone in Xuancheng City. The cooperative has successively been awarded titles such as Xuancheng City Standardized Professional Cooperative, Xuancheng City “Top Ten” Professional Cooperatives, Anhui Province Advanced Professional Cooperative, and Provincial Model Cooperative.
