Best Answer

The scientific name for poultry - birds, or fowl, which we farm to use for culinary purposes - depends on the type of bird.

Chickens, quails and turkeys fall under the order Galliformes.

The domestic chicken is Gallus gallus domesticus; quail is usually either Coturnix japonica or Coturnix cotumix, while the domestic turkey is descended from Meleagris gallopavo.

The common pheasant is Phasianus colchicus.

Ducks and geese are of the order Anseriformes.

The domestic duck is descended from Anas platyrhynchos, apart from Cairina moscata, the Muscovy Duck, a quieter creature with a stronger flavour than the usual domestic duck.

The domestic (grey) goose is Anser anser domesticus or Anser cygnoides.

I've not included here game birds or other birds which are only rarely farmed, such as emu, ostrich, guineafowl and peafowl, swans, and so on.
