Effect of water spinach, water hyacinth and banana stem on growth performance of Muscovy duck fed of rice bran and rice distillers by product as basal diets

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of green feed from water spinach, water hyacinth and banana stem on feed intake, daily gain, feed conversion ratio and growth performance of Muscovy duck fed on rice bran and rice-distiller by product as basal diets. There were 4 treatments and design in RCBD with 4 replications of each treatment. Growing Muscovy ducks (n=64) were fed a basal diet of rice bran and rice distiller’s byproduct with three sources of greed plants: Water spinach, banana stem and water hyacinth. Supplements of water spinach, banana stem and water hyacinth supported growth rate of 36.7-44.9g/day. And higher on mixture with water spinach than other feeds. However, Supplementation with water spinach was not affected on DM feed conversion, but led to lower.
