The Effect of Treatment Soybean Meal with Azolla (Azolla pinnata var.) Fortified with Mixture and Fermentation on the Productive Characteristics of Local Duck

Abstract

This study was carried out in the animal field of the College of Agriculture, University of Basra, for the period from 14/1/2024 to 25/3/2024; 240 non-naturalized local duck chicks were raised at one day old with an initial weight of 45g. The chicks were distributed randomly over eight transactions and by three repeaters and each repeater 10 chicks according to the complete random design (CRD). The model as follows T1. Control treatment (standard diet). A diet supplemented with 5 g/kg of the synergy mixture per kg of T2 standard diet. T3 Azolla plant  (unfermented) + soybeans meal- 25%. Synergy mixture of fermented Azolla plant fortification Treatment T4 is 5 g/kg soybean meal greater than 25%. T5 Treatment of Azolla  (With no Fermentation) plant at the rate of 50% with soybean meal. T6 Treatment of fermented Azolla plant enriched with symbiotic mixture 5 g / kg soybean meal 50%. Unfermented Azolla soybean meal T7 75% treatment. Treat the treatment t8 of fermented Azolla plant and fortified with the synergy mixture by 5 g / kg to replace soybean meal by 75% The results of the experiment showed a that have a high nutritional value of the fermented Azolla plant and fortified with the tazi mixture through a high percentage of protein and improving the flavor of the feed. A marked superiority in body weight and weight increase with reduced feed consumed from fermented Azolla and fortified synergy mixture. Furthermore, an increase in feed conversion ratio and production index.
