LACBAOAN, REX C. (2025). Performance of Itik Pinas Itim (Anas platyrynchus) Fed with Duckweed (Lemna minor L.) Under La Union Condition Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Major in Animal Science, Don Mariano Marcos emorial State University, North La Union Campus, College of Agriculture, Department of Animal Science, Bacnotan La Union. Adviser: Aspiras, Mary Fe M. MS This study was conducted to determine the performance of itik pinas itim fed with duckweed meal under La Union condition and also to determine the carcass quality and profitability as affected by different level of duckweed meal. A total of Sixty (60) head thirty-day-old ducks was used in this study it was distributed randomly into four treatments in three blocks following the randomized complete block design (RCBD). The treatment is composed of T0 - pure commercial feed, T1 - 75% commercial feed + 25% duckweed meal, T2 50% commercial feed + 50 duckweed meal, and T3 - 25% commercial feed + 75% duckweed meal. The result showed that birds fed with different levels of duckweed meal performed comparably with the commercial fed birds in terms of dress percentage, and meat to bone ratio but, significantly different on final weight, gain in weight, feed conversion ratio and feed consumption.
