OPTIMIZING DUCK PRODUCTIVITY: UNVEILING THE IMPACT OF TORCH GINGER (ETLINGERA ELATIOR) FLOWER EXTRACT SUPPLEMENTATION ON NON-CARCASS COMPONENTS IN LOCALLY RAISED MALE DUCKS WITH COMMERCIAL FEED

This study investigates the potential of optimizing duck productivity by exploring the impact of supplementing the diets of locally raised male ducks with Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior) flower extract in conjunction with commercial feed. Beyond the traditional focus on carcass parameters, the research delves into the influence of this supplementation on non-carcass components. Through systematic analysis, we assess the effects on vital non-carcass aspects, providing insights into the holistic enhancement of duck production. The findings contribute to the evolving field of poultry nutrition and management, offering practical knowledge for sustainable and efficient duck farming practices.
