Mayang White Goose

The Mayang White Goose is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　The Mayang White Goose is an outstanding maternal broiler breed in China and a featured industry in our county. It thrives in wet environments and sunlight, primarily feeds on grass, and is characterized by strong foraging ability, fast growth, and tolerance to coarse feed. It has a long body, a slender arched neck, prominent wattles, and an orange-yellow beak, webbed feet, and wattles. It boasts fast growth, strong adaptability to coarse feed, low feed consumption, high disease and stress resistance, and high reproductive rates, with pure white feathers. The meat of the Mayang White Goose is delicious and nutritious, making it premium material for processing roast goose and cured goose. The goose meat can be stir-fried, stewed, steamed, or crisp-fried, with the Mayang hot pot-style braised goose being especially flavorful.

　　Compared to similar breeds, it offers advantages such as faster growth, higher egg production, and better feed utilization. Its development broke the pattern in China’s goose breeds where high egg-laying breeds were small-sized and large-sized breeds laid fewer eggs. The Hunan Provincial Science and Technology Commission listed it as one of the “Harvest Plan” projects and promoted it across the province. In 1998, the county’s white goose population grew to 1 million, with 900,000 slaughtered.
