“…Diversity in shank colour variants can be caused by the absence of selection and directional mating between local ducks. (Chung et al 2020). Comparison of classes of colour scored for bill and bean in the two sexes indicate a common trend whereby black colour was higher in males.…”

Qualitative traits can be used as a reference for entog development and conservation. Qualitative traits are indispensable for selection based on phenotypics such as plumage color, beak color, and shank color. The research objective was studied the qualitative traits of entog in Ciayumajakuning (Cirebon, Indramayu, Majalengka, dan Kuningan). This research uses survey method with sampling technique of multistage probability random sampling. The research object observed are 673 Muscovy ducks consisting of 309 drake and 364 duck. Data analysis applies descriptive qualitative analysis method. The results of research show that duck Muscovy ducks plumage colors are dominated by black and white (44.78%), only white (28.30%), and only black (17.86%); while drake are dominated by only white (45%), black and white (35.9%), and gray (7, 77%). The duck beak colors are dominated by black (25.82%), black and white (20.60%), and pink (23.63%); while drake beak colors include pink (38.80%), black (21.00%), and black and white (19.40%). Duck shank colors are dominated by black (39.29%), white (27.29%), and yellow (18.68%); while drake shank colors, among others, are yellow (41.70%), black (29.80%), black and white (12.00%). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the qualitative traits of Muscovy duck in Ciayumajakuning are quite diverse.

“…Aspergillus fumigatus is widely present in moldy bedding and feed, as well as in the air where it forms spores. Ducklings are particularly susceptible to infection, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rate ( Chung et al, 2020 ; El-Shemy et al, 2023 ). Gliotoxin ( GT ) is the predominant mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus fumigatus , exhibiting carcinogenic and immunosuppressive properties in both humans and animals ( Ráduly et al, 2019 ).…”

“…In comparison to other fowl, A. fumigatus is the most common and noncontagious fungus that causes aspergillosis, or respiratory disease, in ducks [10] . Furthermore, ducks, particularly ducklings, are 200 times more sensitive to disease than chickens [11] .…”

“…A devastating outbreak linked to pollution in the hatchery caused a 15% death rate in the first two weeks, and those who survived suffered from a delayed growth rate [12] . Acute aspergillosis in 5–10-day-old ducklings could lead to severe respiratory signs, lung lesions, and high mortality [13] . Reported mortalities in eight-day-old Pekin duckling flocks were 52%–60% from acute Aspergillus infection [14] .…”

Objective: Aspergillosis is a disease that affects several species of birds and causes substantial losses in the poultry business. The purpose of the investigation was to identify the pathogen responsible for a respiratory outbreak among juvenile ducklings. Material and Methods: An epidemic of Aspergillosis infected a total of 800 Muscovy ducks that were being reared in El-Beheira Governorate. Tissue samples were obtained to isolate suspected fungi from diseased birds and the hatchery environment. In addition, identification and molecular characterization were performed on the obtained fungal isolates. Results: Affected birds displayed acute respiratory manifestations such as difficulty breathing, gasping for air, nasal discharge, and a mortality rate of up to 28.1%. Postmortem examination revealed bronchitis, tracheitis, congested lungs, air sacculitis, severe multifocal granulomatous pneumonia, a congested, enlarged liver, and a congested kidney with nephritis. Mycological examination revealed seven Aspergillus (A.) spp. isolates from ducklings and six from hatcheries. Isolate colonial morphology and microscopical examination were as follows: A. fumigatus, A. niger, Syncephalastrum racemosum, and four untypable isolates. These isolates were further identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) gene was detected. Four representative isolates were submitted for sequencing and further phylogenetic analysis. The source of duckling infection might be linked to the hatchery environment due to the observed similarity of isolates from both affected birds and the hatchery, as evidenced by phylogenetic analysis. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated the significance of appropriate hatchery control in preventing infection in young ducklings. Furthermore, the use of molecular identification techniques would be helpful for tracing the source of infection and rapid diagnosis of Aspergillus in the field.
