| h English (en) | It is widely agreed that the [[mallard]] (''Anas platyrhynchos'') is the ancestor of all breeds of domestic duck (with the exception of the [[Muscovy duck]] (''Cairina moschata''), which is not closely related to other ducks). Ducks are farmed mainly for their meat, eggs, and [[Down feather|down]]. As is the case with chickens, various breeds have been developed, selected for egg-laying ability, fast growth, and a well-covered carcase. The most common commercial breed in the United Kingdom and the United States is the [[American Pekin duck|Pekin duck]], which can lay 200 eggs a year and can reach a weight of {{convert|3.5|kg|lboz|abbr=on}} in 44 days. In the [[Western world]], ducks are not as popular as chickens, because the latter produce larger quantities of white, lean meat and are easier to keep intensively, making the price of [[chicken meat]] lower than that of duck meat. While popular in ''[[haute cuisine]]'', duck appears less frequently in the mass-market food industry. However, things are different in the East. Ducks are more popular there than chickens and are mostly still herded in the traditional way and selected for their ability to find sufficient food in harvested rice fields and other wet environments. |
| h Japanese (ja) | 広く合意されているところでは、[[mallard/ja|マガモ]]（''Anas platyrhynchos''）がすべての家禽アヒル品種の祖先である（ただし[[Muscovy duck/ja|バリケン]]（''Cairina moschata''）は例外で、他のアヒルと近縁ではない）。アヒルは主として肉、卵、[[:en:Down feather|ダウン]]のために飼育される。ニワトリの場合と同様、採卵能力、成長速度、体の充実度に基づいてさまざまな品種が作出されてきた。イギリスおよびアメリカ合衆国で最も一般的な商業品種は[[American Pekin duck/ja|ペキンアヒル]]であり、年間200個の卵を産み、44日で{{convert|3.5|kg|lboz|abbr=on}}に達する。[[:en:Western world|西洋世界]]では、ニワトリの方が白く脂肪分の少ない肉をより大量に生産でき、集約飼育もしやすいため、[[chicken meat/ja|鶏肉]]の価格はカモ肉より低い。''[[haute cuisine/ja|オート・キュイジーヌ]]''では人気がある一方で、大衆的食品産業での登場頻度は低い。しかし東方では事情が異なる。そこではニワトリよりカモの方が人気であり、主として伝統的な方法で放牧され、収穫後の水田や他の湿潤環境で自力採食できる能力に基づいて選抜されている。 |
