Abstract：Goose is seasonal breeding animal, the goslings and adult geese supply show seasonal changes, so that the sale price of the geese is fluctuating. In this paper, control illumination time, feed quantity and forced molting on the Magang geese were carried out in non-breeding season. The results show that the number of egg laying, fertilization rate and hatching rate are lower than the natural reproduction, but the goslings sales prices increased by 42.9%, the annual income of goose is increased by 22.4%, and the profit for the year increased by 34.3%,also the goslings and goose can balance production throughout the year. The problems such as goslings’ seedling oversupply making price declining in natural breeding season are solved, therefore the farm can obtain better economic benefits based on the reproductive control technology in non-breeding season.
