__NOTOC__ This list contains breeds of domestic geese as well as species with semi-domestic populations. Geese are bred mainly for their meat, which is particularly popular in Germanic languages countries around Christmas. Of lesser commercial importance is goose breeding for eggs, schmaltz, or for the fattened liver (''foie gras''). A few specialized breeds have been created for the main purpose of weed control (e.g. the Cotton Patch Goose), or as guard animals and (in former times) for goose fights (e.g., the Steinbach Fighting Goose and Tula Fighting Goose). Goose breeds are usually grouped into three weight classes: Heavy, Medium and Light. Most domestic geese are descended from the greylag goose (''Anser anser''). The Chinese and African Geese are the domestic breeds of the swan goose (''A. cygnoides''); they can be recognized by their prominent bill knob.〔APA (2001)〕 Some breeds, like the Obroshin Goose and Steinbach Fighting Goose, originated in hybrids between these species (the hybrid males are usually fertile – see Haldane's Rule). In addition, teo goose species are kept as domestic animals in some locations, but are not completely domesticated yet and no distinct breeds have been developed. ==Breeds== * Adler Goose (Адлерская)〔FAO (2002)〕 * Solnechnogorsk Goose〔〔 * Steinbacher Goose (''Steinbacher Kampfgans'')〔 * Subcarpathian Goose (''Podkarpacka'')〔 * Suwalska Goose (''Suwałska'')〔 * Suchovy Goose (''Suchovská hus'')〔 * Synthetic Ukrainian Goose〔 * Taihu Goose〔 * Tame Goose〔 * Toulouse Goose (including Light Toulouse)〔〔〔〔 * Touraine Goose (''Oie de Touraine'')〔 * Tufted Roman Goose (''Oca Italiano'')〔 * Tula Goose (''Tульская бойцовая'')〔 * Turkish Goose〔 * Twente Landrace (''Twentse landgans'')〔 * Ural Goose or Shadrin Goose (''Уральская'' or ''Шадринская'')〔 * Venetian Goose (''Oca Pezzata Veneta'')〔 * Vishtines Goose (''Vištinės žąsys'')〔〔 * Vladimir Clay Goose (''Владимирская глинистая'')〔〔 * Wanxi White Goose〔 * West of England Goose (including Crested Goose)〔 * White Hungarian Goose〔 * White Italian Goose (→Tufted Roman Goose) * White Norman Goose〔 * Wugang Goose〔 * Wulong Goose〔 * Wuzhong Goose〔 * Xupu Goose〔 * Yanguiang Goose〔 * Yan Goose〔 * Yili Goose〔 * Yong Kang Grey Gosse〔 * Zatory Landrace (''Zatorska'') * Zhedong Goose〔 * Zhejiang White Goose〔 * Zie Goose〔 ==Auto-sexing goose== The plumage of male and female goose is usually the same.

In general, ganders are white and females are either entirely gray, or pied gray and white.〔(Craig Russell: Auto Sexing Geese )〕〔(Chris Ashton: Auto Sexing Geese )〕 * Cotton Patch Goose * Normandy Goose * Pilgrim Goose * Shetland Goose * West of England Goose 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of goose breeds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
