Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate feeding values of food and other organic wastes, and to determine their dietary effects on performance and carcass yield in ducks. A total of 156 meat type ducklings at the age of 25 days were housed in 12 pens and assigned to 4 treatments, in which the birds were fed for 21 days. One of 4 diets, commercial duck feed, raw food waste (RFW), fermented food waste(FFW) and mixture of 50% RFW and 50% FFW (R+FFW). Feed consumption was significantly higher (p<0.05) in the RFW groups. Body weight gain showed no significant differences between the control and other treatments. The feed consumption ratio was significantly higher in the RFW groups (p<0.05) than that of the other groups. Carcass yield was significantly higher in the R+FFW groups (p<0.05) than the other groups. The weight of liver per live body weight showed significant differences among the treatment groups (p<0.05). The length of intestine was significantly different from those of the treated groups(p<0.05).
