One hundred twelve Philippine mallard duck raisers were interviewed using constructed questionnaires to determine their socio-demographic profile, characterize their production system, associate those production systems to their scale of operation and analyze their common production problems. The survey found that the majority of the duck farms interviewed were considered as commercial scale (68.75%). There was a highly significant association between the scale of operation with some of the production systems employed in the production such as the type of labor, housing materials used, type of feeder and waterer, the emergence of disease outbreak, application of antibiotics, duck products produced as well as record-keeping practices. Moreover, a significant association was also found between the scale of operation and the type of buyer of duck products and animals reared on their farm. Common production problems of duck farmers are associated with limited capital, expensive feeds and the occurrence of diseases. Further and detailed studies for each management system are needed to harness the potential of the duck industry in the province. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
