Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of methionine (Met) level in low-energy diet on growth performance, slaughter performance and plasma biochemical parameters of growing Pekin ducks, and to evaluate the Met requirement in low-energy diet of growing Pekin ducks. Using a one factor completely random design, a total of 150 fifteen-day-old male Pekin ducks with similar body weight [(558.6±4.8) g] were randomly divided into 5 groups with 6 replicates per group and 5 ducks per replicate. Ducks were fed 5 experimental diets, and the Met levels in low-energy diet of each group were 0.284%, 0.359%, 0.434%, 0.509% and 0.584%, respectively. The experiment lasted for 28 days. The results showed as follows: 1) with the Met level in low-energy diet increased, the average body weight and average daily gain of Pekin ducks during 15 to 35 days of age and 15 to 42 days of age were significantly linear increased (P<0.05), and the feed/gain was significantly linear or quadratic decreased (P<0.05). 2) With the Met level in low-energy diet increased, the percentage breast muscle and percentage of leg muscle of Pekin ducks at 42 days of age were significantly linear increased (P<0.05), and the percentage of skin fat and percentage of abdominal fat were significantly linear or quadratic decreased (P<0.05). 3) The Met level in low-energy diet had no significant effects on organ indexes and plasma biochemical parameters of growing Pekin ducks (P>0.05). 4) According to the broken-line model, the Met requirement of growing Pekin ducks for growth performance and percentage of skin fat were 0.387% to 0.434%. In conclusion, the Met supplementation in low-energy diet can increase the growth performance and improve slaughter performance of growing Pekin ducks. The Met requirement in low-energy diet of growing Pekin ducks is about 0.420%.
