After years of application, after Dangshan crisp pear, Luan melon slice, Huoshan yellow bud and Gu Quan ancient ripe pear, Wanxi White Goose became the fifth geographical indication certification trademark in our province. According to the introduction of the Wanxi White Goose Industry Association in Lu 'an City, the provenance of Wanxi White Goose should be the red geese from Qiwang (originally a small town, retreated and merged) in Huoqiu County of this city, which evolved after hundreds of years of reproduction and breeding, and is a precious goose species resource. However, due to the lack of awareness of variety protection and simple selection of species, the pure red geese in this area have almost disappeared.
A few days ago, the List of National Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Protection was publicized on the information website of the Ministry of Agriculture. 138 livestock and poultry breeds were identified as the first batch of national livestock and poultry genetic resources protection varieties, and Wanxi White Goose stood out and became one of the "national treasures".
It is reported that the white geese in western Anhui have a history of more than 4 years, and were listed in the National Catalogue of Poultry Varieties as early as the 197s and 198s. They originated in western Anhui, and now they are mainly distributed in Guzhen, Yu 'an District, Lu 'an City, the hometown of white geese in China. This variety has the characteristics of large size, rapid growth and development in early stage, strong adaptability, strong disease resistance, rough feeding resistance, low consumption of feed and high slaughter rate. Wanxi White Goose has pure white feathers, excellent down quality, large down, good elasticity, strong warmth retention, high bulkiness and extremely delicious meat. The "Roasted Goose" and "Frozen Goose" made from it are fresh, tender and delicious, and have a unique flavor, which is the best in the world.
in recent years, the town has made great efforts to make a fuss about "a goose" with the idea of "studying the land classics and singing the White Goose Opera". In 25 alone, the annual transaction volume of down and feathers in the town reached 64 million yuan, creating a foreign exchange of 5 million US dollars, making it the largest town in Yu 'an District, and the white goose industry increased the income of each household by more than 2, yuan.
Guzhen Town, Yu 'an District, Lu 'an City is a well-known "hometown of white geese", and "Wanxi White Goose" has been rated as "national treasure" of livestock and poultry in China by the Ministry of Agriculture. In the past, due to blocked news and poor sales, the income of goose farmers was always unsatisfactory. In order to help goose farmers build a platform for buying and selling, and better open their markets, the town is led by some large farmers who know computers and can surf the Internet, and uses the network platform to capture the latest market information in time, which not only sells Guzhen down to the whole country, but also expands to Taiwan Province, Japan and other places, greatly increasing the income of goose farmers.
Guan Zhangming, a large goose farmer in this town, used the network platform to form a long-term partnership between Taiwan Province merchants and Guzhen goose farmers. Taiwanese businessmen bought more than 2, kilograms of high-quality white velvet from more than 3 large goose farmers at a price of 5-4 yuan per kilogram higher than the local price, and the average annual income of goose farmers was more than 5, yuan. In 24, with the help of network matchmaking, the "Daheong White Goose Breeding Base in Guzhen Town", which was jointly invested by Japanese "Dahong Co., Ltd." and Guzhen Wanxi Down Factory, has been successfully operated and received expected benefits. Jiang Weijun, the head of the "Military Goose Farm" in the town, used the information obtained from the Internet to invest nearly 3, yuan to buy goose egg hatching equipment, which solved a series of problems encountered in the hatching of goose eggs in more than 1 surrounding goose farms. Nie Guobao, a "goose scholar" in Jihe Village of this town, mastered a set of disease prevention techniques for "Wanxi White Goose" through online self-study. After popularization, thousands of goose farmers in this town benefited. The town also uses the network platform to organize goose farmers to purchase high-quality and low-priced goose feed, saving feed costs for each goose every month, and the vast number of goose farmers will benefit again.
