“…Yang et al. ( 2022 ) found in Nonghua ducks that the breaking strength, the cortical bone thickness and the percentage of cortical bone area of tibia, femur and humerus, as well as the mineral density and the calcium content of humerus in cage‐reared ducks was significantly lower than those of floor‐reared ducks probably due to higher stocking density and less opportunity to perform locomotory behaviour. Bone quality deterioration in the cage‐rearing system was related to perturbed amino acid, lipid and energy metabolism.…”

This Scientific Opinion concerns the welfare of Domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus), Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata domesticus) and their hybrids (Mule ducks), Domestic geese (Anser anser f. domesticus) and Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) in relation to the rearing of breeders, birds for meat, Muscovy and Mule ducks and Domestic geese for foie gras and layer Japanese quail for egg production. The most common husbandry systems (HSs) in the European Union are described for each animal species and category. The following welfare consequences are described and assessed for each species: restriction of movement, injuries (bone lesions including fractures and dislocations, soft tissue lesions and integument damage and locomotory disorders including lameness), group stress, inability to perform comfort behaviour, inability to perform exploratory or foraging behaviour and inability to express maternal behaviour (related to prelaying and nesting behaviours). Animal-based measures relevant for the assessment of these welfare consequences were identified and described. The relevant hazards leading to the welfare consequences in the different HSs were identified. Specific factors such as space allowance (including minimum enclosure area and height) per bird, group size, floor quality, characteristics of nesting facilities and enrichment provided (including access to water to fulfil biological needs) were assessed in relation to the welfare consequences and, recommendations on how to prevent the welfare consequences were provided in a quantitative or qualitative way.

“…The health of the Pitalah ducks is highly dependent on the environmental conditions and the participation of Pitalah duck breeders in the care of their livestock [33]. Health management skills are realized through direct activities conducted by Pitalah duck breeders regarding the health of their livestock [34].…”

The purpose of this research is to create a model to enable traditional duck farmers to increase their income. The data in this study consisted of primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire about farmer's attitude toward livestock business and income of the business of Pitalah ducks. Secondary data were collected from libraries and official sources related to the research. Respondents were 180 Pitalah duck breeders from 7 sub-districts. The research data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression after a Classic Assumption Test was performed to meet the criteria of BLUE (Best Linear Unbiased Estimator). The lowest revenue received from the business is Rp.10,647,082 while the highest revenue received is Rp. 24,852,811. This range of revenue is due to differences in the revenue received from the sale of eggs (including those consumed) and the final value they have. Real revenue is received from selling Pitalah Duck's eggs. The results of the regression analysis showed that X1 (knowledge) and X2 (attitude) did not affect the level of income. The value of X3 affected the level of income because of the efforts to increase the income of the farmers, to select the seeds produced, to provide feed and drink, to be responsive whenever there is sick cattle, and to accept new technology in order to increase the income of farmers.

“…Bone quality parameters such as bone breaking strength (BBS), bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone ash content have been utilized to assess the bone status of poultry ( Kim et al, 2006 ; Rubin et al, 2007 ; Li et al, 2020 ; Ma et al, 2020 ), which are affected by the type of housing system ( Regmi et al, 2015 ), genetics ( Guo et al, 2017 ), nutrition ( Ye et al, 2021 ), diseases ( Liu et al, 2021 ), and age ( Sanchez-Rodriguez et al, 2019 ). A recent study indicated that the breaking strength, percentage of the cortical area, and cortical thickness of the tibia, femur, and humerus of ducks raised in a floor system were significantly higher than in cage-reared ducks ( Yang et al, 2022 ). Methods such as dietary changes in the calcium-phosphorus ratio, rearing in a range-free system with more opportunities for walking and flighting, increasing load-bearing exercise, and genetic selection for bone quality have been shown to have positive effects on poultry bone quality parameters ( Dunn et al, 2007 ; Hester et al, 2013 ; Casey-Trott et al, 2017 ; Zhu et al, 2018 ).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of rearing systems on the bone quality parameters in chickens using a metabolomics strategy. A total of 419 male one-day-old chicks were randomly allocated to two groups, a floor rearing group (FRG, n = 173) and a cage rearing group (CRG, n = 246). At 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age, all chickens were radiographed by a digital X-ray machine, and body weight was recorded. At 12 weeks of age, 12 birds were selected from each group to obtain tibia and femur, and bone quality parameters of bone mineral density (BMD), mineral content (BMC), breaking strength (BBS), stiffness, Young’s modulus (YM), ash content, calcium content, and phosphorus content were determined. An untargeted metabolomics assay was performed to identify changes in the serum metabolic profile (n = 8 birds/group). The results showed that cage-reared chickens had wider tibiae and greater body weight compared with floor-reared chickens. There were no significant differences in BMC or BBS between the two groups (p > 0.05), but BMD, ash content, calcium content, and phosphorus content of the tibia and femur of FRG were significantly higher than those of CRG (p < 0.05). Greater stiffness and YM of the femur were also observed in birds raised in the FRG compared with those raised in the CRG (p < 0.05). Taken together, the results suggest that rearing systems affected bone quality parameters. Furthermore, 148 and 149 differential metabolites were identified in positive and negative ion modes by LC-MS/MS analysis, among which 257 metabolites were significantly correlated with 16 bone quality parameters, including leucine, myristoleic acid, glycocholic acid, and N-phenylacetamide. KEGG analysis indicated that 15 metabolic pathways, including six pathways of amino acid metabolism, two pathways of lipid metabolism, and two pathways of carbohydrate metabolism, were responsible for bone quality. Overall, the present study demonstrated the effect of rearing systems on bone quality parameters, and identified several metabolites and metabolic pathways associated with bone quality parameters.
