Origins, timing and introgression of domestic geese revealed by whole genome data
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Geese are among the most important poultry species in the world. The current generally accepted hypothesis is that the European domestic geese originated from greylag geese (Anser anser), and Chinese domestic geese have two origins, most of ...

Comparative analysis of the heart tissue transcriptomes between low-altitude reared and high-altitude reared bar-headed geese (anser indicus) [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021 The bar-headed geese (Anser indicus) are renowned for high-altitude migratory fl ights and they must fl y over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau for their annual migration. Through comparing the high-altitude bar-headed geese with the other closely related low-

Comparative characterization of bacterial communities in geese fed all-grass or high-grain diets. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 BACKGROUND:Gut microbial composition is dependent on diet. Geese are herbivores and can digest crude fibre, but the relationship between composition of the microbiota and a fibre-rich diet in geese is not well understood.
