Toxoplasma gondii  and  Neospora caninum  are protozoan parasites that infect warm-blooded animals, and cause major economic losses in livestock industries worldwide. However, little is known about the genotypes of  T. gondii  and  N. caninum  in domestic ducks in China. Herein, brain samples from 588 domestic ducks from Hunan province in China were examined for the presence of  T. gondii  and  N. caninum . Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect  T. gondii  B1 gene and  N. caninum NC-5  gene. Forty-five DNA samples (7.7%; 95% CI: 5.5–9.9) were positive for B1 gene, and two (0.3%; 95% CI: 0–0.7) were positive for NC-5 gene. The risk factors significantly associated with  T. gondii  infection were age and sex. The 45 samples positive for  T. gondii  were genotyped using multi-locus PCR-RFLP analysis and only one sample was fully genotyped as ToxoDB#9 (Chinese I). These results provide new information about the epidemiology of  T. gondii  and  N. caninum  in ducks in Hunan province in China. The data also highlight the importance of a “One Health” approach to dealing with toxoplasmosis.
