Abstract

The quality of duck meat is closely related to the nutritional composition of the feed. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between the nutritional content of feed and duck meat from intensive farms in Central Java. This research was an exploratory study to measure proximate levels of macronutrients including carbohydrates, protein and crude fat in feed and duck meat. The study was conducted at five duck farms (A, B, C, D and E), and females ducks aged ± 1.5 years were selected. The proximate level in percentage was then analyzed statistically to determine the real difference and correlation. The results showed that the feed quality in the five farms was dominated by carbohydrates which reached more than 32%, and the highest levels were obtained from Farm E which reached 51.87 ± 2.65% (p value = 0.017). Meanwhile, a negative correlation was shown between the carbohydrate content of feed and meat, which means that an increase in carbohydrate content was associated with a decrease in protein content. It may be concluded that the proximate composition of duck feed in five farms has met the nutritional needs and was dominated by carbohydrates, followed by protein and crude fat content.
