Performance of cross-bred (White Pekin × Khaki Campbell) ducks under intensive system of rearing

In the present investigation, performance of a crossbred (White pekin × Khaki Campbell) duck meat and egg variety produced through artificial insemination were studied under intensive system management. A total 157 day old ducklings reared in experimental farm with standard management practice brooding, growing balanced feed health However, at 16th wk age, 30 female ducks confined to individual cage record their laying performances. The growth revealed significant difference between male from 8th 24th week age. Most body measurement parameters found higher than that Campbell less White Pekin similar blood biochemistry estimates no variation except for albumin calcium wherein value is highly females. carcass quality 20th par average age sexual maturity was recorded as 131.83±1.65 days 50% production flock 139 days. per cent up 45th 80.31±3.44 it also 108 occasions, one laid more egg. study eggs (100 nos) 40 wks 62.31± 0.44 g weight 92.378 ± 0.453 Hague unit scale. reproduction cross-bred (WP KC) may meet expectation farmers be benefitted both production.
