Abstract

The young Eastern spot-billed ducks raised in households in Ninh Binh province have brown-gray on the upperpart from the head to tail. The neck and breast feathers are yellow and the back has typical yellow spots. The head has a yellow stripe down the neck and the eyes have a black line extending back. The legs are black.

The survival rate of the Eastern spot-billed ducks until 21 weeks of age is over 98%. The body weight at birth was about 42g. The weight of an adult male and female is 1,452.21g and 1,264.92g, respectively. The amount of feed consumption to increase the weight of 1 kg from birth to 21 weeks of age is 7.43 kg and 8.07 kg in male and female, respectively. The percentage of carcasses as well as the percentage of thigh meat plus breast meat between males and females is 63.80 - 62.94% and 48.23 - 51.30%, respectively.
