Breed of goose From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alsatian goose (French: oie d'Alsace), is a breed of goose developed in the French region of Alsace.[1] A small breed, this goose was developed to grow a large and fatty liver for foie gras production.[2]
Geese selected for this purpose have shorter legs and wider bodies. This body form allows the development of internal organs, particularly the liver. Geese whose livers are not deemed usable for foie gras are slaughtered for their meat.
