Phytogenic compounds do not interfere physiological parameters and growth performances on two Indonesian local breeds of ducks

Abstract

Aim: The present study was to investigate the interaction between duck's breed and phytogenic compounds as feed additives in the diet on blood lipid and hematological profile, welfare, and growth performance. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 male day-old local breed ducks (Tegal and Muscovy ducks) were used in this experiment. The first factor was duck breed and the second factor was different phytogenic compounds supplementation in the diet: Garlic, turmeric, ginger, and kencur, at 3% each. The observed variables were the blood lipid profiles comprise high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol total, triglyceride, blood parameters, welfare (heterophil/ lymphocyte [H/L] ratio), and growth performances (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and carcass percentage). Results: The interaction between breed of ducks and phytogenic compounds had a significant effect on blood triglyceride, but no significant effect on the blood lipid profile, hematological parameters, and growth performances. While, phytogenic compounds in the diet had significant effects on the blood lipid profile, heterophil (H), lymphocyte (L), and H/L ratio of ducks. The breed factors affected HDL and growth performances. Muscovy duck had a higher HDL and growth performance compare to Tegal duck. Among those, garlic most effectively reduced triglyceride level in Tegal duck. Conclusion: Phytogenic compounds 3% do not have a negative effect on the physiological parameters of ducks increase ducks welfare (H/L ratio), so it does not affect the growth performances of ducks. Muscovy duck had higher growth performances than Tegal ducks.

Effects of Calcium Complex and Phytobiotic Herbal Pulp Complex Allocated in Feed on the Quality of Carcass, Inner Organ Weight, Ammonia Excrete Level, VFA Cecum and Leg Color of Mojosari Ducks (Anas javanica)

“…These results were caused by the low live weight and carcass weight of Mojosari ducks because both are closely related to carcass percentage. This is reinforced by the statement in [22] that the high percentage of carcasses is caused by the high live weight and deposition of breast meat and duck thighs due to the high consumption of feed. Furthermore, if a treatment does not affect the final weight or carcass weight, then the treatment does not affect the percentage of carcasses [23].…”

Sustainable Rabbit Production under the Global Warming Conditions in Southern Mediterranean Region

“…Although local and native rabbit breeds generally have low productivity, they are welladapted to the local harsh environmental conditions (Helal, 2019;Helal et al, 2021). The advantages of the local breeds in the adaptation to local environmental conditions, including high ambient temperatures, were reported in different animal species, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, goats, and sheep (Ismoyowati et al, 2019;Canales Vergara et al, 2019;Canales Vergara et al, 2020). Several circumstances need to be changed for the successful improvement of heat tolerance in animals.…”

Functional Properties of Salted Duck Egg Powder with Maltodextrin and Tricalcium Phosphate Incorporation as Anticaking Agents

“…Salted eggs, and the yolks specifically, are impressively versatile. It has buttery, full-bodied, and rich flavor since duck eggs contain higher lipid concentration than chicken eggs (Ismoyowati et al, 2019).…”
