Abstract

This research aimed to determine the potency of three local West Sumatran ducks (Pitalah, Kamang and Bayang). Three-hundred ducks have been raised since Day old Duck (DOD), were randomly chosen from three duck populations (100 ducks of each population). For sample of cholesterol content measurement, 25 ducks of each populations type were randomly chosen for blood serum and meat analyses. We investigated the production potencial of each West Sumatran ducks, and tested the ability of flour salam leaf (FSL) to reduce the cholesterol content of duck derived products. The results show that at 12-weeks olds, the Pitalah breed had the greatest body weight, follow by Kamang and Bayang. Feed Consumption Ratio (FCR) followed the same trend. Pitalah duck egg production also siginificantly highest, followed by Bayang and Kamang. FCR followed the same trend as egg production during the laying period. Bayang had the highest average egg weight, followed by Pitalah and Kamang. The Pitalah duck meat was healthier, with the lowest blood cholesterol content compared to the Bayang and Kamang ducks. Those subject above that important role for human nutrition and biodiversity conservation.
