Abstract

The success of male muscovy cultivation is mainly reflected in production performance. Feed management is a determining factor for this success. This study aims to analyze the effect of feed containing dried water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) on the performance of male Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) and determine the optimal inclusion level.The research was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatments applied were P0 (diet + 0% dried water hyacinth), P1 (diet + 5% dried water hyacinth), P2 (diet + 10% dried water hyacinth), and P3 (diet + 15% dried water hyacinth). The variables observed included daily feed intake, average daily gain (ADG), feed efficiency, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and feed cost per gain (FC/G). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and if significant differences were found, Duncan’s multiple range test was performed. The results showed that the inclusion of dried water hyacinth had a significant effect on all observed variables. The 10% inclusion level (P2) produced the best results, with higher feed intake, optimal ADG, highest feed efficiency, lowest FCR, and the lowest feed cost per kilogram of weight gain. The results demonstrate that including dried water hyacinth at levels up to 10% improves the performance of male Muscovy ducks and offers a cost-effective feeding strategy.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of feeding dry water hyacinth (CEGK) on the quality of carcass and non-carcass Muscovy male ducks, as well as determining the appropriate level of CEGK inclusion. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four levels of CEGK inclusion: 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15%, each with five replications. The variables observed included live weight, slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, weight without feathers, main parts of the carcass (breast, thighs, wings, back), and non-carcass parts (head, neck, feathers, blood, entrails, feet). Ducks are slaughtered at 145 days of age. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that CEGK supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on live weight and weight without feathers, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, main parts of the carcass, or non-carcass parts. The highest live weight was achieved at an inclusion level of 15% (1700 g), followed by 10% (1663 g), while the highest weight without feathers was also at 15% (1555 g). Although live weight is highest at 15%, an inclusion rate of 10% is recommended as it shows better feed efficiency and a relatively higher carcass percentage trend than 15%, thereby providing an optimal balance between growth performance and carcass quality and supporting the economical use of local feed sources.
