Geese are a kind of relatively common poultry, which are relatively common in rural areas.In the countryside, there is often a saying that breeding geese can drive away snakes.In fact, from the beginning of ancient times there is such a view, in the literary giant Su Shi's work "Chou Chi notes" on the record: "Its (refers to the goose) Dung kill snakes, Shu people garden pond raising geese, snakes that is far away."Some people still believe that goose droppings have a repellent effect on snakes, and that snakes may rot their skin when they touch them.".
In ancient times, there was no special feed for breeding geese. They would find some grass to eat by themselves, and there might be realgar grass among them. In this way, their feces would contain some ingredients, and snakes were afraid of realgar grass, so they would drive the snakes away.However, the acidity of their feces is not high, so it is exaggerated that snakes will rot when they touch their skin.Moreover, the geese raised now basically eat feed, and will not eat realgar grass.Nevertheless, raising geese can prevent snakes, and there are indeed some people in the countryside who do so, because snakes are afraid of geese themselves, not because they are afraid of their feces corroding their skin.
As mentioned above, raising geese can prevent snakes to a certain extent, because snakes are afraid of geese themselves.Geese are a very powerful animal, they are more aggressive, but also a strong sense of territory.If other animals invade their territory, snakes will launch a fierce attack on them.The same is true if you encounter a snake, the goose is more powerful than the snake, the snake has a stronger fear of the goose.Although snakes have poor vision, their sense of smell is relatively keen, and they will avoid the smell of geese after discovering it.After discovering the smell of goose dung, it will not be close, so raising geese can prevent snakes.
