Hematological Profile of Pekin Duck (Anas platyrhynchos F) Fed with Moringa Oleifera leaf meal as soybean oil meal substitute under mixed orchard farming system
Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the hematological profile of pekin ducks fed different levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) as soybean oil meal (SOM) substitute. A total of 150 F1 growing Pekin ducks were randomly distributed into 15 ranged pens under mixed orchard equally representing 5 dietary treatments to evaluate the haematological profile of ducks. The study was undertaken from February 6 to March 5, 2016 at Sanchez Mira, Cagayan, Philippines. 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. Treatment 3 (75 % MOLM) recorded the highest RBC count followed by T4, T1, T2 and T0. Although there were differences in the mean values, the RBC counts of the different treatments were within the normal range of values of RBC in ducks. The same trend as with the RBC count has been observed in the PCV values wherein all PCV means of the different treatments were within the reference or normal rate. Results from RBC count and PCV indicate that the birds were not suffering from any disease like anemia which is the decrease number of functional erythrocytes which might be due to deficient blood formation because of poor nutrition including dietary deficiencies of iron, vitamins and amino acids.
