People raise domestic ducks for meat, eggs and down. Many people also keep these ducks for show, as pets, or for their ornamental value. Almost all varieties apart from the Muscovy are descended from the mallard.
People first domesticated mallard ducks in Southeast Asia at least 4000 years ago during the Neolithic Age. The Romans in Europe, and the Malays in Asia also farmed them.
