Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of inclusion of dietary fresh Azolla in the basal diet of
white pekin broiler ducks on carcass traits. Three dietary treatments were given such as G1: Basal diet, G2:
Basal diet + 5% Fresh Azolla of basal diet, G3: Basal diet + 10% Fresh Azolla of basal diet. Parameters
such as dressing (%), eviscerated yield (%), giblet (%), neck (%), wing (%), breast (%), thigh (%), drumstick
(%) were recorded. Significant difference was recorded (P≤0.05) between the groups for giblet yield, while
no significant difference could be noticed for any other traits.
