Performance of improved Philippine Mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos L.) fed diet with Trichanthera leaf meal
Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of Improved Philippine Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos L.) fed diet with Trichanthera leaf meal. A total of 225 Improved Philippine Mallard Duck (IPMD) were divided to 5 groups and were fed with 5 formulated diets with 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% Trichanthera leaf meal (TLM) for 14 weeks. The study was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results of the study revealed that the different levels of Trichanthera leaf meal (3, 6, 9 and 12%) fed diet have no positive effect on the growth performance of Improved Philippine Mallard Duck in terms of the body weight, feed consumption, gain in weight, FCR, FCE, and percentage of livability. However, it showed that Trichanthera leaf meal up to 12% is very safe to use as fed diets for ducks and it can contribute to the nutritional needs of ducks and improve economic returns. The addition of 6% Trichanthera leaf meal on the ration of IPMD generated a higher return of Php 388.64; hence, it is recommended.
