“…In addition, almost similar egg weight (56-60g) was reported both in Bangladeshi indigenous and Indian Nageswari duck (Das and Hoq, 2000;Islam et al, 2002;Rahman et al, 2009). Higher egg weight also reported by Sharma et al(2002) in Nageswari duck (62.45g) and Mahanta et al(2009) in Chara-chamballi duck (71.6g) of Assam.…”

The present study was conducted to know the production and reproduction potentials, and egg quality characteristics of Nageswari duck under intensive management condition. Data were collected from a nucleus flock of Nageswari ducks that have been maintained from day old to 72 weeks of age at AI center, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, from May 2015 to October 2016. Irrespective of sex, the average live weight of ducklings at day old, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7thand 9thweeks of age were observed to be 38.85±1.40, 99.06±2.93, 373.29±8.73, 650.31±11.26, 867.74±11.79 and 1076.11±16.34 g, respectively. There was a steady increasing trend observed in live weights for both drakes and ducks from 17thto 72 weeks of age. The average age of sexual maturity and weight were found 130±1.83 days and 1400.84±12.68g respectively. The average egg weight and annual egg production were 58.20±1.50g and 204.23±14.19 no’s, respectively. Hen day egg production was found 55.67±2.74% while the peak production was observed at 26th week of age. The estimated mean egg mass production (g/b/day), feed intake(g) during laying, feed conversion efficiency and performance efficiency index of Nageswari duck were 32.40±2.29, 154.85±2.27, 4.63±0.21 and 20.92±1.37, respectively in Nageswari duck. The external egg quality characteristics like shape index, egg breaking strength, shell thickness and membrane thickness were observed to be 74.59±0.61, 2.00±0.03 kg/cm2, 3.99±0.06 mm and 0.50 ± 0.02 mm respectively whereas, internal quality attributes such as albumen index, yolk index, yolk color score and Haugh unit were 8.89±0.29, 34.36±0.61, 8.42±0.28 and 86.29±1.06, respectively. In conclusion, the studied parameters of Nageswari duck provided some breed specific baseline information and year round actual production potentials of this genetic resource under intensive management condition that could be utilized for future conservation and breeding programs in Bangladesh.Bang.

“…The decrease in feed intake could be explained by the impaired palatability due to the existence of a higher amount of saponins when DULM was supplemented above 5% [18]. On the contrary, Lu et al [19] observed an increase in feed intake in layers when 5% Moringa leaf was used in the diet whereas Das et al [20] reported that the Indian runner hens' intake was not affected by DULM in their diet. The discrepancy in feed intake could be explained by the digestibility of the diet relative to the dietary components used in different studies.…”

A cheap, safe and available alternative protein source to soybean is a huge priority for the developing world. This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of Desmodium uncinatum leaf meal incorporation levels in the diet on Lohmann Brown hens' laying performances. For this purpose, 60 Lohmann Brown hens aged 33 weeks with an average weight of 1.78 kg were randomly assigned to 3 treatment groups of 20 birds each with 4 replicates. The experimental treatments consisted of DULM 0 , DULM 5 , and DULM 10 containing 0, 5 and 10 kg of D. uncinatum leaf meal (DULM) per 100 kg of feed respectively. The results reveal that except for the weights of hens, laying performances were significantly affected (p < 0.05) by DULM in the diet. Daily feed intake was lower with 10% incorporation of DULM in the diet as compared to a diet with 5% DULM which recorded the highest value for this parameter. Moreover, the highest value for the egg weight, egg mass, yolk index, albumen index and egg production were recorded with diet DULM 5 . On the other hand, the diet with 10% of DULM (DULM 10 ) recorded the highest relative shell weight, feed conversion ratio and egg price. Nevertheless, the mortality rate found in this study was 0% for all treatments confirming the good quality of DULM as protein feedstuff for layer. It was concluded that incorporation levels of D. uncinatum leaves at 5% in the diet improved the laying performances of Lohmann Brown hens.

“…In duck-fish IFS, there was 61-70% egg production and 10.10-10.70 kg fish production per duck and there was no effect of different breeds of ducks (Indian Runner, Zending and Khaki Campbell) on the total income from egg, fish, spent duck and net profit per duck (Das et al 2003). In duck-rice IFS, duck droppings are used as manure for rice and as a result no or less fertilizer is used; ducks perform inter-tillage as they search for food with their bills; they are good exterminators of beetles, grasshoppers, snails, slugs, mosquito pupae and larvae; and thus no or less pesticide are used; they are released on paddy fields after harvest to feed on leftover rice grains and in this process enhance soil fertility through their droppings (Akbar et al 2014).…”

“…In KC ducks, feed conversion ratio (unit weight gain per unit of feed consumed) of 2.38-3.24 (0-4 weeks), 5.02-7.79 (4-8 weeks), 5.03 (4-8 weeks), 4.54-4.93 (5-8 weeks) and 3.60-4.87 (0-8 weeks) had been reported by the earlier workers (Padhi et al 2009, Joshi et al 2014. However, in layers, the feed conversion ratio (feed consumed in kg per kg egg mass) was 3.41-5.52 (Das et al 2003, Nageswara et al 2005. In Odisha, the duck day egg production and feed conversion ratio (amount of feed consumed in kg to produce one dozen eggs) of KC ducks were 74.…”

In India, the contribution of ducks for egg and meat production is next to chicken. There are many advantagesof duck production over chicken. The important available ducks in the country are few exotic breeds and locallyavailable indigenous ducks. Ducks can be reared under intensive, semi-intensive and extensive rearing system.However, in India, ducks are mostly reared in small flock size as subsidiary source of income. The major duck basedintegrated farming system are duck-fish, duck-rice and duck-rice-fish integrated farming system. Feed is the majorfactor in livestock and poultry production system as it accounts about 70-75% of the total cost of production. Tominimize the cost of production, many locally available alternate or unconventional feed ingredients, viz. azolla,cassava, broken rice are used for feeding of ducks. The constraints of duck farming are mainly the unavailability ofsuitable germplasm, scarcity in natural feed resources, drying of natural water bodies, difficulty in the availabilityof vaccines, poor marketing facilities, etc. In India, there is ample scope for duck production to meet egg and meatdemand of the country. Suitable duck breeds or varieties need to be developed for rural backyard duck farming.Comprehensive feeding packages along with scientific management practices for different types of ducks should beformulated for economic production of duck eggs and meat. There is a need for establishment of hatcheries and other infrastructures in rural areas to promote duck farming for sustainable livelihood of the people.
