“…In a later study [19], keel length in 49-d-old P8, P9 and P33 ducks was similar to our findings. In turn, Mazurowski et al [28] found greater trunk length, keel length, shank length, and smaller trunk length with neck in 49-d-old commercial hybrids of Pekin ducks (AF51) in comparison with the Pekin ducks of lines P8, P9 and P33 evaluated in our study. However, compared to the tested P8, P9 and P33 ducks, AF51 hybrids showed a higher body weight at 49 d of age.…”

Simple SummaryThe protection and conservation of native poultry breeds, including ducks, is important for biological, cultural, emotional and scientific reasons. The objective of this study was to compare three lines of Pekin ducks for growth performance, body measurements, carcass and digestive system characteristics. The results showed significant differences between the tested lines of ducks in body weight and body measurements, as well as a small number of significant differences in carcass and digestive system characteristics. This may suggest that the tested lines of ducks are different and distinct, mainly in terms of growth and body measurements.AbstractNative breeds of ducks have been the subject of many studies in the past, yet the relevant knowledge is still incomplete and needs to be further expanded. The objective of this study was to provide information about differences in growth performance, dressing percentage, carcass composition and digestive morphometry among three lines of Pekin ducks from conservation flocks raised in Poland. The study used 180 sexed Pekin ducks—30 males and 30 females of line P33 (ducks of Polish origin), 30 males and 30 females of line P8 (ducks of Danish origin), and 30 males and 30 females of line P9 (ducks of French origin). Throughout the study (49 d), ducks were confined indoors in six pens. Birds were fed complete commercial diets ad libitum and had unrestricted access to water. The compared lines of ducks differed significantly in body weight from 1 to 49 d of age except of ducks of both sexes at 14 d. At 49 d of age, significant differences were observed between the tested ducks in all the body measurements. Duck genotype had a significant effect on preslaughter body weight, carcass weight and breast muscle, neck and remainders contents, caeca length, liver weight and gizzard percentage. The results show that the tested ducks were significantly different and unique, mainly in terms of the body biometric characteristics.

“…Prolactin is one of the genes associated with the hens' egg production (Smiley, 2019;Susanti, 2015;Zhang, 2012;Wilkanowska, 2014;Bai et al, 2019). A gene candidate called prolactin particularly regulates the variance in egg output by inhibiting egg biosynthesis throughout the incubation periods and is a receptor to control the growth of follicles and the generation of eggs (Mazurowski et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2011;Asiamah et al, 2019). The prolactin gene can be used to assist the selection that will be performed on IPB-D1 hens to generate new strains of female lines.…”

Polymorphism of prolactin (PRL) gene exon 5 and its association with egg production in IPB-D1 chickens

Abstract. The prolactin (PRL) gene regulates the egg production and incubation in laying chickens. Local chickens' reproductive systems will disrupt as a result of the incubation period activity, and they will lay fewer eggs. This study aimed to determine the prolactin gene polymorphism in IPB-D1 hens and its relationship to egg production. The polymorphism of the exon 5 prolactin gene was examined on 112 samples of the IPB-D1 chicken DNA collection from the Division of Animal Genetics and Breeding, Faculty of Animal Sciences, IPB University. By performing the phenol–chloroform method, the genomic DNA was obtained. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product with a size of 557 bp was produced as a result of the DNA amplification. Three single-nucleotide sequences were discovered. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), g.7835A > G, g.7886A > T, and g.8052T > C, were found in exon 5 of the PRL gene. Each mutation was polymorphic and in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The point mutation g.8052T > C significantly impacted the egg production of IPB-D1 chickens, according to the SNP association analysis on egg production, and may serve as a marker to enhance the selection for the features of egg production in IPB-D1 chickens.

Muscovy duck is a type of waterfowl that has a relatively better growth and percentage compared to ducks. Duck meat has high-quality because of its low fat and savory flavor. Muscovy duck is relatively resistant to the disease and is able to use low-quality feed, but has the disadvantage of low egg production. The development of Muscovy duck as a producer of meat can be done through two approaches, namely the long-term and short-term. The long-term approach is carried out by selecting Muscovy duck which has high growth rate and high meet quality. The selection can be done in two ways, namely directly on the nature of growth and the quality of meat, and indirectly by choosing a marker of growth (morphology, biochemistry or diversity of DNA/ RNA). Short-term selection can be done by bringing in superior Muscovy duck from the outside to be developed by farmers and crossing male Muscovy duck with the layer Indian Runner ducks to produce Serati ducks.
