Abstract
A feeding experiment was carried out to study the effect of feeding different levels of protein during growing phase (9-16 weeks) on growth, feed consumption and mortality in Khaki Campbell ducks. Two hundred seven (207) growing ducks (8 weeks of age) of either sex were divided into three treatment groups (viz. T1, T2 and T3) with three replicates in each group. There were 23 ducks (16 females and 7 males) in each replicate pen. During the growing period (9-16 weeks of age) the ducks in the three treatment groups were provided with is caloric diet having 14, 16 and 18% protein with ad lib, Provision of feed and water. The significantly (p < 0.01) higher growth rate along with lower feed consumption in treatment with 16% protein diet compared to other two treatments (14% and 18% protein). Further, the mortality ranged from 1.67 to 3.33% during growing stage, which was within normal range. The results indicated that a diet with 16% protein was adequate for growing ducks of 9-16 weeks of age. Keywords: Protein, growth, feed consumption, mortality, growing, Khaki Campbell duck
