- The domestic goose can raise up to 25 goslings in a year, from which 100 kg of meat is obtained. These goslings reach such weight when fattened.
Domestic geese primarily consume plant matter, including fresh grass, grain, and vegetables, and occasionally catch small insects. The species obtains food through grazing and foraging, using its beak to pluck plants. Their diet consists of grass, cereals, vegetables, aquatic plants, roots, coniferous cones, plants, algae, grain, and vegetation. Domestic geese also consume hard-winged insects, two-winged insects, membranous-winged insects, butterflies, amphipods, ribbon worms, lip-bearing worms, and multi-linked worms. The daily food requirement ranges from 250 grams to 0.8 kilograms. Predators that hunt domestic geese include eagles, wolves, and members of the weasel family.
