1. Livestock and poultry reproduction regulation technology: in light of the research assignments of animal variety improvement and breeding key laboratory, it studies the technology of breeding goose off-season reproduction, the technology of improving animal reproductive performance, the mechanism of livestock and poultry reproduction and endocrine regulation, and the determination method of poultry hormones.

2. Production and environmental control: study the new model of duck and goose breeding, equipment and environmental control of breeding facilities, resource treatment of excrements and modern goose industry development. Those related technologies will be promoted and adopted accordingly.

3. Goose nutrition and feed formulation technology: study the nutrition and environmental control technology of gout disease in goslings, the development of healthy feed for commercial meat goose, the nutrition supply and feed formulation in different reproductive stages of breeding goose.

In light of the reproduction and environmental problems of poultry scale farming, key technologies of poultry breeding regulation and environmental control are studied to provide technical support for the healthy and sustainable development of poultry scale farming. There are 14 members in the research lab, including 7 with senior titles and 11 with doctorate degrees, 1 national candidate for the “New Century Talents Project" and 1 post scientist for the technical system of the national waterfowl industry. We have undertaken more than 40 national, provincial and ministerial level projects, including 5 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, 1 project of post scientists for the technical system of the national waterfowl industry, and 1 project of the fund industrial chain for independent innovation of agricultural science and technology in Jiangsu Province. The lab made more than 50 papers, including more than 20 SCI papers (5 papers in the Impact Factor Zone II); applied more than 20 patents and over 10 got authorized, obtained 1 software copyright, and published 1 book. The "Integration and Promotion of Intensive, Efficient and Healthy Waterfowl Breeding Technology" won the first prize of the 8th Jiangsu Agricultural Technology Promotion Award in 2017. The research lab has established a standardized experimental poultry farm in Liuhe Animal Science Base and a demonstration base for waterfowl with Sun-lake Swan of Changzhou City.
