Anhui Goose

The Anhui goose is a Chinese regional domestic goose associated with Anhui province, where geese have long been part of mixed farming, grazing, meat, and egg systems. Chinese local goose breeds often reflect selection for foraging ability, reproductive performance, and adaptation to humid seasonal climates. Depending on the line, birds may vary in color and size, but the regional identity is more important than a single show pattern.

Anhui geese are best managed with access to grazing, clean water, shade in hot weather, and dry night housing during wet periods. Flocks used for meat or eggs should be selected for fertility, hatchability, growth, and mothering or incubation traits where natural breeding is used. Buyers should ask about the specific county or conservation flock when possible, because a broad provincial name can include more than one local population.
