List of duck breeds

For species of wild ducks and other waterfowl, see List of Anseriformes.

This is a list of the breeds of domestic duck which have official recognition at national or international level.[1]

Most breeds of duck derive from the wild mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, while a small minority are descendants of the Muscovy duck, Cairina moschata. Duck breeds are normally officially recognized and described by a national body such as a ministry of agriculture. In some countries they may be recognized by groups of enthusiasts or breeders' associations, which may also draw up a breed standard. Among these are:

* the American Poultry Association in the United States[2]
* the Poultry Club of Great Britain[3]
* the Entente Européenne d'Aviculture et de Cuniculture in Europe[4]
* the Australian Poultry Standards[5]
