Abstract:
This investigation was aimed to inspect if there is an influence of various stocking density on growth, carcass parameters, blood indices, and meat traits of Muscovy and Mallard ducks. One hundred twenty-six 1-day-old of each Muscovy and Mallard ducks were randomly allocated into three experimental groups with different stocking density. Group one (SD1) was 5 ducks/m2, while group 2 (SD2) was 7 ducks/m2 and group 3 (SD3) was 9 ducks/m2. The growth, carcass parameters, meat quality, blood indices were calculated. Body weight of SD1 was 18 and 4.5% heavier than SD2, while, it was 29.5 and 12% heavier than SD3 of Muscovy and Mallard duck breeds, respectively. SD3 possessed the highest levels of, H/L, ALT, AST, LDL, VLDL, and MDA with the lowest levels of lymphocyte, SOD,GSH, GPX, C3, total antioxidant capacity and IGG of both ducks' breeds. The carcass weight decreased by 40 and 15% from SD1 to SD3 in Muscovy and mallard ducks, respectively. The dressing % was highest at SD1 (84 and 83%) when compared with SD3(71and80%) of Muscovy and Mallard ducks, respectively. Cooking loss was 20 and 16% greater in group three when compared with group one in Muscovy and Mallard ducks, respectively. In conclusion ducks raised in low SD possessed the best performance with better welfare.
