The Effect of Vegetable oils (Palm Oil, Canola, Coconut and Soybean Oil) on the Ration of Slaughter Weight, Carcass Weight, Carcass Percentage, and Abdominal fat Percentage of male ducks

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of different vegetable oils on the basal ration of slaughter and carcass weight, carcass percentage, as well as abdominal fat, percentage in 9 weeks old of male ducks. It was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in an unidirectional pattern with 4 treatments and 6 replications with 6 ducks in each test. The treatments in this study 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, the data were analyzed using the one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), meanwhile Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) was applied when significant differences were indicated among treatments. The analysis showed that the treatments have no significant effects (P > 0.05) on the variables examined in this study. Base on the results that the addition of different types of vegetable oil in the basal ration failed to increase slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, as well as the abdominal fat percentage in male ducks.
