Genetic and Phenotypic Characterization of Domestic Geese (<i>Anser anser</i>) in Egypt

The objectives of this study were to achieve phenotypic characterization of three domestic Egyptian goose populations collected from three different geographical zones (Kafr El-Sheikh, Fayoum and Luxor) and to perform genetic characterization of these three populations based on mtDNA D-loop and 12 m...
