Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of various vegetable oil in the basal ration on carcass and non-carcass characteristics of local duck. It was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in a unidirectional pattern with 4 treatments and 6 replicates consisting of 6 ducks each. The treatments used include; P1: (96% basal ration + 4% palm oil); P2: (96% basal ration + 4% canola oil); P3: (96% basal ration + 4% coconut oil) and P4: (96% basal ration + 4% soybean oil). Furthermore, data were collected after the ducks were slaughtered at the age of 9 weeks, where 2 ducks were slaughtered at each test. The data obtained were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) while the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used when there are significant results. Moreover, the analysis results showed that the treatments had no significant effects (P > 0.05) on the head percentage, as well as the shank, thigh, wing, breast, and back percentage. Based on the results, it was concluded that the addition of different types of vegetable oils in the basal ration failed to improve the carcass and non-carcass characteristics of local duck.
