Black maned goose

Qingyuan black mane goose, also known as black mane goose, is a small goose species produced in Qingyuan. It is called Qingyuan black mane goose because its neck to back mane has an obvious black feather band. Qingyuan Wuzong goose has been widely raised by Qingyuan people since the Song Dynasty, and its breed has been formed for more than 800 years. It is mainly distributed on both sides of Beijiang River. Farmers in Qingcheng District, Qingxin county and southern Fogang have the habit of raising it. Qingyuan Wuzong goose has become one of the four famous goose breeds in Guangdong Province. However, after the 1980s, the pure breed of black mane goose was not welcomed and raised by the majority of farmers because of its small size and low economic benefits. The adult male goose weighs about 3.4 kg, the female goose 2.8-3.2 kg, and the meat goose weighs about 2.5 kg at the age of 70 days. Compared with hybrid geese, because of their small size, light weight and great difference in value, the price of a purebred adult black mane geese is only half of that of hybrid geese. One sided pursuit of individual weight gain led to the extinction of Wuzong goose.
