BENEFIT OF CREATING GOOSE IN THE FARM

in #farms6 years ago


SOURCE

Hello friends from the farms in this opportunity I will talk about the goose. They belong to the family Anserifoformes or Arserini, also called Anser, and is considered the oldest domestic bird in the world, since its origins go back to five thousand years ago in the civilization of the Egyptians.

Biological studies describe geese as animals that learn easily, because they have a well developed memory, sight, smell and hearing.
They communicate with each other with a kind of croak. They like to groom themselves with the help of water, and dedicate a large part of the daily time to it.
Commonly it is known as domestic goose or goose, in countries like Spain, but Science classifies it as the Anseranser domesticus, derived from the genus of the Anseriformes and the family of the Antidae.
Similarly, the goose is considered a bird both terrestrial and aquatic; It has a long neck, short legs with three fingers joined by a membrane, a thick orange beak and can have a life span of up to 20 years.
It is native to Europe, North Africa and Asia, but it is believed that its domestication dates back to antiquity.

HOW YOU ARE BORN.

The geese, on the other hand, are raised indoors for the first six weeks of life, then they are placed in fields where grains and grass are available for feeding, in a range of 14 to 20 weeks.

INSPECTION AND EVALUATION

All geese are inspected by either state or federal agencies. The evaluation of the quality is voluntary and the plant assumes the expenses of the evaluation in case of requiring it. They are fleshy and have meat free of cuts, bruises or tears in the skin. They do not have broken bones, they do not lack any part and they have few signs of feathers.

USE OF ANTIBIOTICS AND HORMONES

At least in the United States, the use of hormones in the production of geese is not allowed, strictly prohibiting the use of hormones in these birds.
Very few medicines have been approved for routine use in the breeding of geese. If a drug is administered - usually through food - to cure the disease, for example, a period of "withdrawal" of days from the time it is administered until it is legal to sacrifice the bird is required. This is so that the waste can leave the body of the bird.

RED OR WHITE MEAT

Duck and goose are poultry and are considered "white" meat. However, because they are birds that fly, the flesh of the breast is darker than chicken or turkey. This is because more oxygen is needed for the muscles that are working and oxygen reaches those muscles through the red blood cells in the blood. One of the proteins in meat, myoglobin, retains oxygen in the muscle and gives the meat a darker color.
His trumpet is unmatched, and almost always heard in the yard of a house or on the farm is certain that some stranger has arrived, so the domestic goose is a guardian with a very effective alert.
These birds are recognized for their territorial aggressiveness in the farms, since their use as guard animals manages to be more efficient than a dog when it comes to protecting their territory from invaders.

AVAILABLE FOR PATÉ

Of the goose it is said that almost everything is usable, because its liver is used in European countries to make the so-called "pate" or "Foie gras", while its meat, eggs are edible and the feathers useful in the elaboration of coats, cushions and quilts.

WHAT THE GEESE EATS

First we have to know that the geese are
omnivorous animals and that, although they feed on plants, they can also eat worms and snails when they do not live in captivity. Regarding the consumption of vegetables, they prefer to eat herbs and sprouts from the soil, tender leaves, seeds and fruits and sometimes dig the soil looking for roots and bulbs.
They are oviparous and their incubation period is up to thirty days; the clutches can be from six to 8 eggs.

"MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A DOG"

In her small farm located in the Huapacal ranchería first section, Doña María Jesús Mendoza explains that "geese are very docile animals with their masters, but aggressive with people they do not know. They are more effective than a dog. "

He adds: "When the geese shout, it's because strange people are walking in the yard of the house. It's a very effective alert. For example, when my daughter comes to visit me, the geese do not stop making a fuss.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEESE

They also tend to collect aquatic plants, but rarely dip their heads in the water. In the autumn they tend to search through the cornfields and when they are finishing the summer, they go through grain cereals.
The geese to feel safe, prefer to graze in large areas, it is because of them that the specialized pastures to the raising of cattle and the fields for sowings, are ideal for their habitat.
Therefore, it is not advisable to place them in cages. So, it is best that your accommodation is in pens, as they will have the necessary space and be protected from the cold and predators.
