Study on feed formulation using locally available feed ingredients for Hoa Lan ducks
The experiment was conducted in a duck household in long an province from 7/2019-7/2020 to study on feed formulation using local available ingredients for Hoa Lan ducks. 2400 one-old ducklings (480 males and 1920 females) were arranged according to the completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 different diets in term of the rate of replacing commercial feed (TAHH) with the feed formulating using local available ingredients (0%, 35%, 70% and 100%), 3 replicates. Results reveal that replacing commercial feed with the feed formulating using local available ingredients up to 100% didn’t effect to survival rate, body weight, egg yield and hatching ability of ducks, egg production/hen/52 weeks of laying, feed consumption per 10 eggs in all treatment ranged from 219.5-220.7 egg and from 3.11-3.18 kg respectively. However, these replacing reduced up to 22.0% feed cost.
