Performance of pekin Duck (Anas platyrhynchos F) fed with Moringa oleifera leaf meal as soybean oil meal substitute under mixed orchard farming system
Abstract
This study explored the potential of Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal As Soybean Oil Meal Substitute Under Mixed Orchard Farming System in enhancing the growth performance, of pekin duck by evaluating the effect of varying levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) as soybean oil meal (SOM) substitute. The treatments were: Treatment T0 (control) 100% SOM as protein source, T1– 25% MOLM substitution of SOM, T2– 50% MOLM substitution, T3– 75% MOLM substitution, T4– 100% MOLM. The study was done in CRD with three replications per treatment. Significant results were found on the body weight, weight gain and feed consumption parameters. Significant results were found out on the feed conversion ratio and feed conversion efficiency. Pekin Duck fed T1, T2 and T3 performed best based on their low FCRs and high FCEs. Insignificant results were found on carcass yield. T2 recorded the highest Red Blood Cell (RBC) count and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) value. The RBC counts and PCV values of different treatments were within the reference or normal range of values in ducks. The RBC and PCV indicate that the birds were not suffering from any disease like anemia. Significant results were found on the meat analysis particularly the crude protein and moisture content of thigh meat. T2 recorded the highest crude protein content but statistically the same with T0 and T4 has the lowest moisture content among treatments. It was therefore concluded that partial substitution of MOLM from 25% to 75% for SOM could be used on the diet of pekin duck. However, substituting 25% MOLM for SOM is highly recommended under mixed-orchard farming system because it had the best results on all growth parameters.
