“…They reported average body weight of white pekin ducks around 1.78 kg at 60 day of age. Similar results in final body weight were obtained from white pekin ducks in an intensive management study (Rabbani et al, 2019) where pekin ducks were reared in the confinement. They reported average body weight of 1.595 kg at 56 days of age in the maize based experimental diet.…”

“…Although considerable literatures (Stęczny et al, 2017;Kokoszyński et al, 2019;Rabbani et al, 2019) are available for various aspects of white pekin duck production under the commercial feeding regime in the confined system, little is known about growth and meat quality from this duck breed raised under backyard farming system with rice bran-based feeding.The present study aims to explore growth pattern and meat quality of white pekin ducks in backyard farming condition.…”

Background: The growth and popularity of white pekin duck farming is increasing among farmers due to assured return and marketing linkages in peri-urban areas. The growth performance and meat quality of pekin ducks under backyard farming was evaluated in the present study. Methods: Body weight and feed consumption data of 140 white pekin ducks managed under rice bran-based feeding in backyard farming, were recorded weekly up to 8th week of age. Gompertz’s growth model was used to calculate growth parameters. Meat quality parameters were recorded after slaughter on 56th day. Result: White pekin ducks attained 2.003 kg at 56 days of age with 3.2 FCR (Feed conversion ratio). The asymptote weight calculated from Gompertz’s equation was 4513.25 g. Inflection points of bodyweight and time was determined as 1659.28 g and 49.9 days respectively. The maximum growth rate was 58.17 g/day. The high growth rate of pekin ducks in backyard condition indicates suitability of rice bran-based diet in this farming system.Dressing percentage (57.9%) of eviscerated carcass was however less than earlier reports. Lipid peroxidation activity of breast-meat was measured and found to be less than previous reports. Reduced lipid peroxidation in muscle might be due to liberal access to natural feeding system by pekin ducks that is unique in backyard farming.

“…Mean ± SE body weight at fortnightly intervals in three groups of ducks, g White Pekin ducks were higher forMazanowski et al (2003),Heo et al (2015),Kokoszynski et al (2019) andRabbani et al (2019) than the present findings. Lower body weight of the Kuttanad and White Pekin ducks in the present findings than the other studies might be due to the lower M.E (kcal/kg) value of the feed given in this study.…”

“…White Pekin ducks had the highest cumulative FCR, followed by improved meat line of Kuttanad ducks and then the unselected flock. In this study, better cumulative FCR was recorded in two groups of Kuttanad ducks at zero to eight weeks and 0 to 10 weeks when compared to the study of Cyriac (2016) Pekin ducks at 0 to 8 weeks was found to be better than that reported by Kokoszynski et al (2019) and Rabbani et al (2019) in Pekin ducks.…”

The study was conducted to compare the growth and carcass traits of Kuttanad [unselected (UKD) and improved meat line (IKD)] and White Pekin ducks (WPD). One hundred and twenty five day-old ducklings from each group were selected, wing banded and reared under uniform conditions by providing ad-libitum feed (22 per cent CP and 2800 Kcal/kg M.E) and water for 10 weeks. Fortnightly body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio were calculated. Carcass traits like slaughter weight, carcass weight and dressing percentage (with and without giblets) were studied in eight birds of each group at 6, 8 and 10 weeks of age. Fortnightly body weight and body weight gain was found to be significantly (p<0.05) high in WPD, except during first fortnight where IKD showed significantly (p<0.05) higher body weight gain. The FCR was found to be better in WPD followed by IKD and UKD. The mean slaughter weight and carcass weight were significantly (p<0.05) high in WPD at 8 and 10 weeks of age. Dressing percentage (with and without giblets) in UKD and IKD were significantly (p<0.05) high at eight weeks whereas that of WPD at 10 weeks of age. White Pekin showed better values in growth traits and carcass yield than Kuttanad ducks. However, no significant difference was obtained between the traits of unselected and improved flocks of Kuttanad ducks.

The purpose of this study was to determine to the effect of the utilization of Gabus Pasir (Butis amboinensis) waste fish meal (GPWFM) as a substitute for commercial fish meal (CFM) on feed consumption, body weight gain, final weight, and feed conversion ratio of Pekin duck at 8 weeks. This research method uses a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications, each replication consisting of 5 day old duck. The treatments consisted of P0 (diet with 10% CFM); P1 (diet with 7.5% CFM and 2.5% GPWFM); P2 (diet with 5% CFM and 5% GPWFM); P3 (diet with 2.5% CFM and 7.5% GPWFM) and P4 (diet with 10% GPWFM). Based on the analysis of variance, it showed that all treatments did not have a significantly effect (P>0.05) on feed consumption, body weight gain, final weight and feed conversion ratio of Pekin ducks at the age of 8 weeks of maintenance. It can be concluded that Gabus Pasir fish waste meal can be used in diet to substitute commercial fish meal at a level of 100%, that is 10% of the level of fish meal in the diet.
