What does it mean to raise geese on the roof of a rural house

Rural roof raising geese is a traditional rural farming method. In rural areas, many farmers will build some simple goose houses on the roof, which raise some domestic geese. This way of raising geese is both land-saving and easy to manage, which adds a certain amount of economic income to farmers.

The cost of raising geese on the roof is very low because only some simple construction materials and feed costs are needed. In addition, the goose house on the roof can also serve as a moisture-proof, warmth-keeping and protection for the geese. For poor rural households and some retired elderly people, they can realize some income and relieve the pressure of life by raising geese.

However, with the continuous urbanization and the trend of consumption upgrading, the demand of the rural goose meat market has gradually shifted to large-scale farming. The traditional way of raising geese on rooftops is facing the problem of gradual shrinkage of the market. Therefore, in the process of developing the rural goose industry, we should focus on technological innovation and scientific management to provide farmers with more convenient breeding methods and market channels.
