AI Summary

short article 1 min

In February, a man named Liu from Longhui county, Hunan province, China, discovered gold particles in the stomach of a duck he was slaughtering. The gold, weighing approximately 10 grams, was valued at around US$1,800. Liu believes the free-range ducks ingested the gold while feeding near a river previously known for gold mining. Tests confirmed the particles were genuine gold. While small amounts of gold typically pass through the digestive system harmlessly, larger or impure pieces can pose health risks to animals and humans. Liu's father considered the discovery a sign of good luck.
