Broilers reach their peak growth at 7 weeks of age, while roosters achieve their maximum weight gain around 9 weeks. The ideal time to market broilers is between 8 and 9 weeks, when they weigh between 1.8 and 2.2 kg. During this period, broilers grow rapidly, have high feed conversion efficiency, and produce high-quality meat, which leads to better economic returns for farmers.
Next, meat ducks. By the time they are 6 weeks old, they can reach up to 2.5 kg, and by 7 weeks, they can weigh as much as 3 kg. At 8 weeks, they may even reach 3.2 kg. If you're selling them as split meat, it's best to wait until they're 8 weeks old, as this is when the breast meat is fully developed. However, if you're marketing whole ducks, it's more profitable to sell them at 7 weeks, when their size is still manageable and the meat remains tender.
Third, meat geese. The growth of geese is typically divided into three stages. From day 1 to day 20, goslings grow quickly—by day 20, their body weight is about ten times that of their birth weight. However, their resistance to environmental changes is still low during this phase. This is a critical period for feeding and management, aimed at improving survival rates and the quality of the young geese.
Between 20 and 40 days, geese enter the middle stage, often referred to as "young geese." Although their body weight increases significantly, their pectoral muscles are not well-developed, leading to a lower slaughter rate and less edible meat. It's not yet the optimal time for market.
From 40 to 60 days, geese are considered mature. During this time, farmers often restrict their physical development to encourage fat accumulation, which improves body weight and meat quality. The meat becomes tender and flavorful, with a higher slaughter rate and more edible portions. After 70 days, geese begin their first molt, which causes a drop in weight and makes them less suitable for slaughter.
Practical experience shows that regardless of the breed, geese grow fastest and gain the most weight between 20 and 60 days. After that, their growth slows down, and the cost of raising them increases. Therefore, the most economically viable time to sell meat geese is around 60 days of age.
