Abstract
Aim:The present study was to investigate the interaction between duck’s breed and phytogenic compounds as feed additives in the diet on blood lipid and hematological profile, welfare, and growth performance.Materials and Methods:A total of 200 male day-old local breed ducks (Tegal and Muscovy ducks) were used in this experiment. The first factor was duck breed and the second factor was different phytogenic compounds supplementation in the diet: Garlic, turmeric, ginger, and kencur, at 3% each. The observed variables were the blood lipid profiles comprise high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol total, triglyceride, blood parameters, welfare (heterophil/lymphocyte [H/L] ratio), and growth performances (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and carcass percentage).Results:The interaction between breed of ducks and phytogenic compounds had a significant effect on blood triglyceride, but no significant effect on the blood lipid profile, hematological parameters, and growth performances. While, phytogenic compounds in the diet had significant effects on the blood lipid profile, heterophil (H), lymphocyte (L), and H/L ratio of ducks. The breed factors affected HDL and growth performances. Muscovy duck had a higher HDL and growth performance compare to Tegal duck. Among those, garlic most effectively reduced triglyceride level in Tegal duck.Conclusion:Phytogenic compounds 3% do not have a negative effect on the physiological parameters of ducks increase ducks welfare (H/L ratio), so it does not affect the growth performances of ducks. Muscovy duck had higher growth performances than Tegal ducks.

Summary
Duck (Anas platyrhynchos javanicus) and Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) are waterfowl, which typically have twice the body fat content of chicken. Duck becomes a popular cuisine in Indonesia, its own special class in the society competing with chicken. The population and production of duck meat and egg in Indonesia during 2015 increased by 3.55%, 5.02%, and 3.49%, respectively [1]. Indigenous Indonesian ducks are usually named according to their origin region; they are more adaptable to the tropical environment with optimum productivity. They know as Alabio duck, Magelang duck, Mojosari duck, Tegal duck, Cihateup duck, and Pengging duck. Tegal duck is one of the indigenous Indonesian duck strains, which is maintained around the northern coast of Java. The advantages of Tegal duck are higher egg production, with
