Abstract

Abstract:In Ecuador, the production of ducks is a rare practice, the breeding is limited for self-consumption, for this reason, a production system has been proposed to carry out a comparative analysis of three types of food rations in the body development of ducks. the Peking line (Anas platyrhynchos) determining which ration would be the most advisable to execute it, for this a total of 48 ducks were used, 12 for each group. The treatments consisted of: C1T2 (balanced 70%, corn and passion fruit 30%), C2T1 (balanced 50%, corn and alfalfa 50%), and C3T3 (balanced 30%, corn, wheat, and oat 70%) and C4TESTIGO (corn 100%) with a semi-intensive system, for the statistical analysis we used the SPSS v24 program, comparing food conversion (FC), yield in the channel, profitability index and marketing analysis. The most efficient feed conversion was C3T3 with a FC of 4.35, similarly, this treatment showed a significant statistical difference in terms of cost and profitability analysis; In the marketing analysis, surveys were carried out demonstrating the consumer's preference for the product.
