Mulard
Also known as mule ducks, mulards are the products of a cross between Muscovy and Pekin ducks. These birds are sterile and are produced through artificial insemination.
These ducks are mass-produced for their meat in the meat industry. The hybrids are used to prepare a French dish known as foie gras which is a luxury dish comprising of duck or goose liver. It is for this reason that these birds are fairly common in France, and even now outnumber geese in the country when it comes to foie gras production.
