Abstract: A study on the management practices of the Zabarte Duck Farm in Tuy, Batangas was conducted to provide the readers up-to-date information about the Pekin ducks raising. The total population at the time of interview was 3,000 heads of ducks. Two types of incubator, the cabinet and still-air types were used. Incubation lasted from 28 - 30 days and turning the eggs every hour was done to insure higher hatchability. The chicks were brooded for two weeks usinga50-watt electric bulb. The kinds of brooder used were the battery and litter floor types. The ducks were transferred from the brooder to the growing house with a floor area of six feet wide and 12 feet long. At the age of four months they were transferred to the laying house. One drake was mated to four ducks for a higher percentage of fertility. The space allotment per layer was one square meter. The duck farm depended entirely on commercial feeds, supplemented with ipil-ipil leaf meal at the age of two weeks. The common disease observed was Salmonellosis as reported by the manager of the farm.
