However, for quite a few farmers, the difference between a goose and a duck is not always obvious. This article will start from the perspective of rural areas, in an easy-to-understand way, ** the differences between geese and ducks in terms of appearance, Xi, feeding and economic value.
1. Differences in appearance characteristics
There is a clear difference in appearance between geese and ducks. First of all,Geese are larger in size, the neck is long, and there is a protruding fat mouth on the neck, which presents a majestic posture as a wholeAnd ducksis relatively small in size, the neck is short and rounded, and the mouth is relatively flat. In addition, goose feathers are often white, while duck feathers are mostly brown or dark gray.
2. Similarities and differences in Xi
There are also some differences between geese and ducks in terms of Xi. Geese usually prefer to move around in wide open areas and have a more demanding need for foodGeese are often somewhat aggressive, which can be used as a guardian of poultry.
