Abstract

The study was conducted to identify the body measurements of Muscovy duck among three<br />regency (Pekalongan, Magelang dan Demak) in Central Java. Material of the experiment was 210 muscovy ducks at 7 months of age (70 birds/regency, 35 males and 35 females). Parameters observed were body weight, bill length, bill width, head length, head circumference, high head, neck length, neck circumference, wing length, body length, breast circumference, body height, breast length, femur length, tibia length, tibia circumference, maxilla length, and length of third toe. Data of body measurement were analyzed through univariate and multivariate using SAS.Whereas the Mahalanobis distance were analyzed using MEGA 5 (UPGMA) to construct the phylogeny tree. Result showed that there were some differences (P<0,05) between male and female of muscovy duck in each regency at all variables. Wing length and breast circumference were the distinguishing variable between regencys. Muscovy duck from Magelang had a closer genetic distance to Pekalongan than Demak.<br />Keywords: body measurement, muscovy duck

Effects of Giving Bay Leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) Extract Into Drinking Water on External Morphometry in Mojosari Alabio (MA) Male Duck

“…The treatments given were R0 (0% bay leaf extract), R1 (4% bay leaf extract), and R2 (8% bay leaf extract). The variables observed were quantitative traits including; procedures performed according to [7]…”

“…The wing is a movement aid that is used to fly in poultry. According to [7] measuring wing length in morphometrics is measured from the base of the humeral bone to the phalanges bone measured using a measuring tape (cm). The results of morphometric measurements on the wing length are 23.83 ± 1.50 cm when compared to the results of research conducted by [9] which are much lower, namely with an average of 25.54 ± 1.36 cm.…”
