TY - GEN T1 - Performance of Pekin ducks in smallholdings under different rearing systems A1 - Engku Azahan LA - English YR - 2013 UL - http://discoverylib.upm.edu.my/discovery/Record/oai:http:--agris.upm.edu.my:0-1595 AB - Ducks raised under the intensive systems of raised floor housing showed growth responses comparable to those of birds reared semi-intensively with the provision of a pool of water for swimming. Differences in the mean values of all the carcass traits examined were not significant between the two treatments. It was concluded that the intensive full-confinement rearing system, similar to that used for chickens, could be adopted for growing Pekin ducks in smallholdings without bringing any adverse effect to the birds KW - CANARD KW - PETITE EXPLOITATION KW - PATO KW - EXPLOTACION EN PEQUENA ESCALA ER -
