duck farming
Raising aquatic poultry
Duck farming is the practice of raising ducks commercially for meat, eggs, or feathers.
It requires water access for the birds and differs from chicken farming in housing and husbandry needs.
Duck farming has expanded rapidly in Southeast Asia.
The term also covers smaller-scale operations raising ducks for sale at farmers' markets.
