Four experiments were conducted on Muscovy ducks to evaluate their
utilization, performance and nutrient digestibility when offered diets containing
different levels of palm kernel cake (PKC). In the first experiment, two types of PKC
(solvent and expel ler extracted) were force-fed to male and female ducks 7 weeks of
age and the nutrient digestibility, true metabolizable energy and true amino acid
digestibility were determined. There was no significant (p>0.05) effect on the type of
PKC used on crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), metabolizable energy (ME) and
amino acid (AA) digestibility, except for those of dry matter (DM) and neutral
detergent fibre (NDF) which was higher in solvent extracted compared to expel ler
extracted PKC. It was found that the ducks utilized about 47% of the gross energy in
PKC. The average apparent metabolizable energy value of PKC for Muscovy ducks
was obtained to be 1 870 kcal/kg, which was rather higher than those reported in
broiler chickens.
4
The performance of male and female Muscovy ducks when fed diets
containing 1 5% and 35% levels of PKC were investigated. The results indicated that
inclusion of up to 1 5% of PKC in growing diet for ducks did not depress growth nor
feed conversion ratio (FCR) at any significant degree. Given the low cost of PKC,
such usage is l ikely to be economic, depending, to some extent, on cost of added oil .
At this level no negative effect in faecal consistency nor carcass fatness were
observed. As PKC level increased up to 3 5%, the ducks ate more feed and as a result
had poorer FCR. The explanation for the poorer FCR could be related to the decline
in the energy and protein digestibility when ducks were fed at higher PKC level as
compared to the control diet. It could be suggested that addition of oi l to PKC based
diet may improve the palatability and thus the feed intake and the performance of the
ducks.
Differences in the feed efficiency and nutrient digestibil ity between Muscovy
ducks and broiler chickens were found when PKC was included up to 25% in the
diet. Feeding up to 25% level of PKC to ducks was not associated in any detrimental
effects on the performance and FCR. However, FCR was depressed when PKC was
added at 25% level to broiler grower diet. The ME value was found to be higher in
ducks than in chickens. This indicates that the ME value for chickens cannot be
appl ied to ducks. The digestibil ity of NDF was found to be higher for ducks than for
chickens and this could be due to the higher hemicel lulose digestibil ity for ducks
than for chickens.
The effect of feeding PKC on the intestine dimension, vil lus height and shape
was examined after two and five weeks post-feeding. The results showed that there
was no effect of feeding PKC on the intestinal length and weight at both ages. There
was no effect on the villus height of the jejunum of the diet, sex and age. However,
villus height in the ileum of the male ducks fed PKC after two weeks post-feeding
was found to be shorter than those of the control diet. There was no effect in the
villus height of the ileum after five weeks post-feeding. The morphology of different
intestinal parts was examined under the scanning electron microscope (SEM) at both
periods. No damage was found at any intestinal part that could be related to dietary
PKC. The results suggested that PKC have no adverse effect on the intestine of
Muscovy ducks.

Empat ujikaj i telah dijalankan ke atas itik Muscovy untuk menilai tahap
pengambilan, prestasi dan nilai cerna nutrien apabila diberi diet-diet yang
mengandungi aras PKC yang berbeza. Dalam ujikaj i pertama, dua jenis PKC (secara
pelarut dan perah asak) telah diberikan secara paksa kepada itik jantan dan betina
semasa tempoh pertumbuhan (umur 7 minggu). Nilai cerna nutrien, tenaga
metabolisma sebenar dan nilai cerna asid amino sebenar ditentukan. Tiada perbezaan
ketara diperolehi antara kedua-dua jenis PKC tersebut daripada segi nilai cerna bahan
kering, protein kasar dan asid amino kecuali NDF yang didapati lebih tinggi pada
kumpulan yang diberi makan PKC secara pelarut berbanding dengan PKC perah
asak. Itik-itik ini didapati menggunakan kira-kira 47% tenaga kasar daripada PKC.
Purata nilai tenaga metabolisma PKC pada itik-itik tersebut adalah 1 870 kcallkg.
Kaj ian juga telah dijalankan terhadap prestasi itik Muscovy jantan dan betina
yang diberi PKC pada aras 1 5% dan 35%. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa
7
penambahan PKC sehingga 1 5% di dalam makanan itik yang sedang membesar tidak
merencatkan pertumbuhan atau FCR. Berasaskan kos yang murah, penggunaannya
mungkin lebih ekonomi. Walau bagaimanapun, ini bergantung kepada kos minyak
sawit yang ditambahkan. Pada aras ini, tiada kesan negatif didapati pada aliran tahi
dan kegemukkan karkas apabila aras PKC ditingkatkan sehingga 35%, itik-itik
didapati mengambil lebih ban yak makanan sehingga menyebabkan penurunan FCR.
Penurunan FCR ini mungkin berkaitan dengan penurunan nilai cerna tenaga dan
protein apabila ternakan ini diberi makan PKC pada aras 35%, berbanding dengan
diet kawalan. Adalah dicadangkan bahawa penambahan minyak ke dalam diet
berasaskan PKC boleh meningkatkan kecekapan dan pengambilan makanan serta
presatasi itik-itik tersebut.
Perbezaan dalam kecekapan penukaran makanan kepada daging dan nilai
cerna nutrien antara itik M uscovy dan ayam pedaging dikesan apabila aras PKC
ditingkatkan sehingga 25% di dalam makanan. Pengambilan PKC sehingga ke aras
25% tidak memberi sebarang kesan pada prestasi dan FeR itik. Walau
bagaimanapun, di dalam makanan ayam pedaging FCR mula direncat apabila PKC
ditambah ke aras 25%. Nilai ME didapati lebih tinggi pada itik berbanding pada
ayam. Ini menunjukkan bahawa nilai ME untuk ayam tidak boleh d igunakan untuk
itik. N ilai cerna NDF didapati lebih tinggi pada itik berbanding dengan nilai cerna
pada ayam, dan ini terutamanya disebabkan oleh keupayaan mencerna hemiselulosa
yang lebih tinggi pada itik berbanding pada ayam.
Ujian terhadap kesan pengambi lan PKC terhadap morfologi usus,tinggi dan
bentuk vilus telah dijalankan selepas dua dan lima minggu pengambilan makanan
8
tersebut. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa pengambilan PKC tidak memberi kesan
terhadap kepanjangan dan berat usus pada kedua-dua peringkat umur. Makanan,
jantina dan umur tidak memberi kesan terhadap tinggi vilus padajejunum. Walaupun
begitu, ketinggian vilus di dalam bahagian ileum pada itik jantan yang mengambil
makanan kawalan didapati lebih panjang berbanding kumpulan itik yang mengambil
PKC selepas dua minggu. Tiada sebarang kesan pada ketinggian vilus di i leum
selepas lima minggu pengambilan. Pemerhatian morfologi pada bahagian usus telah
diperiksa menggunakan mikroskop elektron pada kedua-dua tempoh tersebut. Tiada
terdapat sebarang kerosakan pada bahagian usus yang boleh dikaitkan dengan
pengambilan PKC. Keputusan ini menunjukkan bahawa PKC tidak memudaratkan
usus itik Muscovy.
