Breeding Geese  by:Rafea Taher Muhammad Khalil - Iraq

Singular (goose) and plural (Geese) is a genus of waterfowl belonging to the same family as ducks (anatidae). Some excavations indicate that it was present in some regions of Italy thousands of years before Christ. I also found some Pharaonic images that represent geese, which indicates that it has been domesticated for a long time in old Egypt.

Geese breeds are classified into heavy, medium, and light categories in terms of weight standards. On the commercial side, geese are raised for their meat, goose liver, and sometimes for specialized eggs. They can be used for guarding, as they make loud noises when they see a stranger approaching them.
