The study was conducted to evaluate genetic parameters of growth traits of Kuzi ducks of Odisha, India and its performance in respect to growth and production traits under intensive system of rearing. A total of 973 sire pedigreed ducklings produced in seven hatches (parents being selected for higher 8 weeks body weight) are being used for the study. For genetic characterization data of 875 ducklings that were having wing bands till 10 weeks of age were used. Sexual dimorphism was evident in this ducks at 5 weeks of age. The ducklings recorded more than 1 kg body weight at 6 weeks of age. The primary traits of selection 8 week body weight were 1474 and 1383 g, in male and female respectively. The heritability for the body weight were moderate to high in magnitude and the heritability estimates at 6 and 7 weeks of age were 0.44 ± 0.14 and 0.45 ± 0.14, respectively and the estimates for 8 week was 0.22 ± 0.09. Genetic correlations between body weights were high in magnitude after initial 3 weeks of age. Growing period body weight revealed not much increase after 16 weeks of age. Multicolour plumage was dominant in the flock where as brown and pink were found more in respect to bill and shank colour. The ducks reached 50% hen housed egg production at 133 days of age. The egg production of the ducks up to 72 weeks of age was 251 eggs. The egg weight increases as the age advances and recorded more than 70 g from 36 weeks onwards. Egg quality parameters were of acceptable range. Mortality was higher during 40 to 72 weeks of age. The results revealed that the Kuzi ducks can be subject for higher growth rate through selection; however, the egg production was quite encouraging indicating a suitable breeding strategy for this indigenous duck for its further improvement and commercial use. Further, this study indicates that the indigenous ducks available in the countries may be screened for production parameters and top producer may be use for selection for improvement rather than going for exotic germplasm.

“…Sharma et al (2002) reported that the eggs of Nageswari ducks of Assam are large sized (62.45 g), thick shelled and of good quality with appealing greenish blue colour. In Bangladesh, the 9 th week body weight, the age at first egg production, hen day egg production and annual egg production per duck of Nageswari ducks were 1076.11 g, 130 days, 55.67% and 204.23, respectively (Bhuiyan et al 2017).…”

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.

“…Nageswari (N) is an egg type indigenous duck breed of Bangladesh having black or penciled black plumage color except white in breast region. Under intensive management condition, the average annual egg production was 204.23±14.19 and the 9 th week live weight was only 1076.11±16.34 g Morphology, Morphometry, Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Pekin, Nageswari and Their F 1 Crossbred Ducks under Intensive Management (Bhuiyan et al, 2017). However, this breed is well adapted to agro-climatic condition and existing management system of Bangladesh (Morduzzaman et al 2015).…”

This study investigated the morphological features, growth, and meat yield performance of Pekin (P), Nageswari (N), and their reciprocal F 1 crossbreds (P♂×N♀ and N♂×P♀). A total of 301-day-old ducklings were reared in four different pens up to 20 weeks of age under intensive management conditions. Feeding and management practices were similar for all individuals throughout the experimental period. The morphology and plumage pattern of F 1 crossbreds were similar to those of indigenous Nageswari ducks because of the dominant inheritance of the extended Black allele (E locus). Genotype had significant differences (P<0.05) among the four genotypes in morphometric measurements, except wing and shank length. Growth performance was highly significant among the four genotypes (P<0.001) from one-day to 12 weeks of age. The average live weights of P, N, P♂×N♀ and N♂×P♀ crossbred genotypes at 12 weeks of age were 2038.35±29.74, 1542.44±33.61, 1851.85±28.59 and 1691.08±27.80 g, respectively. Meat yield parameters varied significantly (P<0.05) among the different genotypes for all studied traits, except for liver and gizzard weight. Moreover, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed between P and P♂×N♀ crossbred for important meat yield traits such as hot carcass weight, dressing%, back half weight, drumstick with thigh weight and breast meat weight. Remarkably, the P♂×N♀ crossbreed possesses 50% native inheritance, which contributes to better adaptation in a hot-humid environment. Our results revealed that the P♂×N♀ genotype could be suitable for higher meat production with better adaptability in the agro-climatic conditions of Bangladesh.
