Abstract

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary calcium level on growth performance, tibia development and serum biochemical indices of Linwu ducks aged from 7 to 11 weeks. A total of 270 forty-eight-day-old female Linwu ducks were randomly allocated to 5 groups with 6 replicates per group and 9 ducks per replicate. The basal diet supplemented with different levels of limestone to ensure dietary calcium level up to 0.60%, 0.70%, 0.80%, 0.90% and 1.00%, respectively. The results showed as follows:1) with the increase of dietary calcium level, the average daily gain showed first increased and then decreased, the ratio of feed to gain was decreased first and then increased, the average daily gain in 0.90% calcium level group was the highest, and the ratio of feed to gain was the lowest. However, dietary calcium level had no effects on growth performance of ducks(P>0.05). 2) Dietary calcium level had no effect on all the tibia indexes(P>0.05), and the ash content of tibia was the highest in 0.70% calcium level group, and the maximum of tibia broking strength in 0.80% calcium level group was the highest. 3) Dietary calcium level had no effect on serum calcium and phosphorus content of ducks(P>0.05). Increasing dietary calcium level significantly reduced serum alkaline phosphatase activity(P<0.05). According to the growth performance and tibia indices, 0.60% calcium level can meet the growth needs of Linwu ducks aged from 7 to 11 weeks. With serum alkaline phosphatase activity as the basis for evaluation, through the regression analysis and derivation to get the lowest serum alkaline phosphatase activity and the corresponding calcium requirement is 0.996%.
