ANGLO, CHRISTIAN BENNEDICK L. Comparative Gross Morphology and
Correlations of Small Intestines in Philippine Native (Anas platyrhynchos L.) and
Commercial Duck Breeds. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture

This study was conducted at the Meat Processing Laboratory of the Animal
Science Department of the College of Agriculture, Food, Environment, and Natural
Resources, in Cavite State University, Don Severino De Las Alas Campus, Indang, Cavite from
January to April of 2019. Generally, the study determined the morphological diversity of the
small intestine in Philippine Native (Anas platyrhynchos L.) and commercial duck breeds.
Specifically, it aimed to (1) document the variations in length, weight, and diameter of the small
intestine and its segments between the different duck breeds; (2) compare the length, weight,
diameter, and somatic index of the small intestine and its segments; and (3) correlate the
various parameters studied.
The experimental animals were obtained from Leo Dator Farm at Victoria, Laguna. A
total of eighteen (18) ready to lay 6 1/2 months old ducks, three (3) from each breed; Philippine
Mallard, Pekin, Muscovy, Itik Pinas-ltim, Itik Pinas-Kayumanggi, and Itik Pinas-Khaki were used
in the study. They were weighted before subjecting to jugular cut for bleeding procedure and
dissection of small intestine. Length, weight, and diameter of the small intestine and its
segments were recorded, assessed, compared, and correlated.
The length, weight, and diameter of small intestine vary between the Philippine Mallard,
Pekin, Muscovy, and the Itik Pinas strains. All small intestines observed have pancreas that is
positioned between the duodenal loops. Meckel's diverticulum was noticed in all the ducks in
the study. The heaviest breeds, Pekin and Mallard, have longer, heavier, and wider small
intestine and segments. Segment with the widest diameter varies with in each six breeds. Even
though having the longest, heaviest, and widest small intestine, Pekin and Mallard duck have
the two lowest somatic index values with 1.63 and 1.32, respectively. Their value is much lower
than that off the lighter breeds Muscovy and the three IP strains with IP-Kayumanggi being the
highest with 2.18, Muscovy with 1.90, IP-Khaki with 1.82, and IP-Itim with 1.81. Majority of the
parameters correlated shows high correlations (15 combinations) while some shows medium
correlation (12) and low correlation (6).
