dc.description.abstractThis study determined the effects of different proportions of cassava and sweet potato meal a feed supplement to ducklings in terms of weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency. Single factorial experiment following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments and replicated three times as follows: Variety I T0- Control/pure commercial feeds T1- 30% cassava meal + 70% commercial feeds T2- 40% cassava meal + 60% commercial feeds T3- 50% cassava meal + 50% commercial feeds Variety II T0- Control/pure commercial feeds T1- 30% sweet potato meal +70 % commercial feeds T2- 40% sweet potato meal + 60% commercial feeds T3- 50% sweet potato meal + 50% commercial feeds A total land area of 6x6 square meters was used in the experimental site. The study was conducted at Barangay Damortis, Rosario, La Union from December 14, 2001 to February 29, 2002. A two way ANOV A set at 0.05 and 0.01 levels of significance was used to determine the significant variation among the treatments. Duncan's Multiple Range Test was used to find out where the significant difference lies among the treatments. There was no significant differences on the effect of different proportions of root crops of ducks in terms of weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency. The two varieties have comparable performance among the different treatments employed. The result of the study showed that 50% root crops + 50% commercial feeds attained the highest total gain of the ducks. The control/pure commercial feeds are the highest feed consumed. Ducks under T3 is the lowest feed converter and most efficient while ducks under To got the highest feed conversion ratio and yet in efficient feed converter. 50% cassava meal and 50% sweet potato meal can be a good feed supplement for ducks. It can be recommended to poultry raisers as a better substitute to reduce very expensive cost of commercial feeds, nowadays. It is also found out to be the best treatment or proportions suited for the performance of ducks compared to other supplement used
