Part 2 Domestic ducks are ducks that are raised for meateggs and down. The Domestic Duck ducks are also kept for show, as pets, or for their ornamental value. Almost all varieties of domestic duck apart from the Muscovy duck Cairina moschata are descended from the mallard Anas platyrhynchos. Mallard ducks were first domesticated in Southeast Asia at least years ago, during the Neolithic Ageand were also farmed by the Romans in Europeand the Malays in Asia. Almost all varieties of domestic duck except the muscovy have been derived from the mallard. Domestic ducks are mostly polygamouswhere wild mallards are monogamous. Domestic ducks have lost the mallard's territorial behaviour, and are less aggressive than mallards. Ducks have been farmed for thousands of years. While popular in haute The Domestic Duckduck appears less frequently in the mass-market food industry and restaurants in the lower price range. However, ducks are more popular in China and there they are raised extensively. Ducks are farmed for their meat, eggsand down. A minority of ducks are also kept for foie gras production. The blood The Domestic Duck ducks slaughtered for meat is also collected in some regions and is used as an ingredient in many cultures' dishes. Their eggs are blue-green to white, depending on the breed. Ducks can be kept free rangein cages, in barns, or in batteries. Ducks enjoy access to swimming water, but do not require it to survive.

It is a popular misconception that ducks should be fed bread ; bread has limited nutritional value and can be The Domestic Duck when fed to developing ducklings. Ducks should be monitored for avian influenzaas they are especially prone to infection with the dangerous H5N1 strain. The females of many breeds of domestic ducks are unreliable at sitting their eggs and raising their young. Exceptions include the Rouen The Domestic Duck and especially the Muscovy duck.
