| Abstract |
Productive data of this investigation have been collected during the period from 2009 to 2012 from three parent duck flocks comprised 179574 Pekin, 81423 Muscovy and 44499 Khaki-Campbell duck strains belong to five and seven farms of the governmental and private sectors, respectively covering different Egyptian governorates Also, data of costs and gross returns of egg production had been collected during the first 40 weeks of egg production to determine the economic efficiency. These data were obtained from the accounts of balance sheet of th farms.
The main results are as follows:
I-Production aspects:
1-No significant differences were found between Pekin and Khaki-Campbell ducks with respect to age at 10 and 50 % egg production, whereas the lowest significant age at the peak of egg production was observed for Pekin ducks compared with those for other experimented ducks. Sexual age at the peak of egg production for ducks of the private sector was significantly postponed compared with those for governmental sector.
2-Khaki-Campell ducks had the highest significant mean of duck-day egg production compared with those for Muscovy ducks, while this record numerically increased compared to Pekin ones. Also, private sector significantly (P<0.05) represented higher percentage (62%) compared to those for governmental sector (58%).
3-Khaki-Campbell ducks significantly (P<0.05) consumed lowest amount of feed (l86.90 gm/day) compared with the highest amount for Muscovy (206.30 gm/day) while. Pekin ducks had intermediate value of feed intake (202.67 gm). Birds grown in governmental sector significantly (P<0.05) consumed higher amount of feed (202.75 g/duck/day) compared with (192.60 g/duck/day) for private sector.
4-The best significant (P<0.05) values of feed conversion (g.feed/ egg) were recorded for Khaki-Campbell (448.27) and Pekin (471.99) ducks compared with those for Muscovy (548.67) ducks. Birds for private sector recorded the best significant value of feed conversion compared with those for governmental sector.
5-Significantly, highest percentage of mortality (10.11%) had been recorded for Muscovy ducks during 40 weeks of laying compared with 7.03 and 6.10% for Pekin and Khaki-Campbell ducks, respectively. Mortality percentage for birds of governmental sector (8.44%) had significantly increased compared with those for private sector (5.63%)
II-Economic aspects:
A- The relative means of total fixed costs were 3.77, 3.56 and 3.84% and these total variable costs were 96.23, 96.44 and 96.16 % from the total costs per 100 parent Pekin, Muscovy and Khaki-Campbell ducks, respectively.
B- The averages of net income and net income margin per 100 parent ducks were 1163 45 14889.50 and 1776.70 L.E. and 1860.55. 15651.00 and 2460.15 L.E. for the Pekin Muscovy and Khaki-Campbell ducks, respectively. .
C- Muscovy ducks recorded the best values for net income, net income margin net income attributed to the total fixed costs. gross return attributed to the total variable costs and gross return attributed to the total costs per 100 parent ducks comparing with other strains. Also, the private lector showed the better significant values comparing with governmental one for all previous studied traits.
