Abstract


The objective of this study is to phenotypically characterize body measurements among Indonesian local ducks. Eight body measuarements were included in this study, namely beak width (BW), beak length (BL), neck length (NL), breast width (BD), shank length (SL), teo length (TL), foot width (FW), and claw length (CL). Total 210 individuals from seven Indonesian local ducks (Alabio, Mojosari, Magelang, Rambon, Pegagan, Bayang and Turi) were analyzed and they were reared in different areas. Pearson’s correlation coefficients between body measurements were analysed within each groups. BW was found to be significant (P<0.005) and positively correlated with BL for 4 groups (Alabio, Magelang, Mojosari, and Pegagan). The TL was significantly (P<0.005) correlated with FW for 3 groups (Alabio, Magelang, and Rambon). The present study may provide some basic information for characterization and future improvement strategies among Indonesian local ducks.
