Abstract: RIVERA, JETHRO LEO S., Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2005. The Effect of Nutritive Feed Supplement (Poultry Saver®) on the Egg Production of Mallard Ducks (Anal platyrinchos). Adviser: Alvin L. Estanislao, DVM, MS. The egg production of fifty-four (54) heads of mallard ducks was evaluated for four (4) weeks to assess the effect of Poultry saver° on the following parameters: egg production percentage, average egg weight and average shell thickness. Ducks were randomly allocated to two (2) treatments: Treatment I (control) without nutritive feed supplement and Treatment II with Poultry Saver®. Each treatment group was done in triplicate and each consisted of nine (9) heads. The results of the study showed continuous increase on the mean egg production on both treatments; however the treatment group decreased in the fourth week. The mean egg weights of both treatments also increased up to the third week and decreased on the last week of the study. On the other hand, the eggshell thickness was observed to have a slight increase on the treatment group. However there were no statistically significant differences observed on all the three parameters mentioned using t-test analysis. The cost and return benefit analysis revealed a higher income in the control group with P321.44 compared on the treated with only P139.05 on the entire duration of the study.
