1 NATIVE GENETIC RESOURCES OF WATERFOWL KsiąŜkiewicz Juliusz National Research Insitute of Animal Production, Department of Animal Genetic Resources Conservation, BALICE, POLAND

2 The majority of native goose flocks and some duck flocks have been included in the world s genetic resources (World Watch List, FAO 2000). Description of all the flocks can be found in an illustrated guide to farm animals (Atlas zwierząt gospodarskich, Kraków, 2006) and at the website of the National Research Institute of Animal Production together with many photographs ( The biodiversity of these species and breeds, kept in situ, was described in various instruction booklets, published by the Institute (2002, 2003).

3 The programmes for the conservation of native waterfowl populations are aimed not only at maintaining the adequate size and genetic variation of the populations, but also at preserving specific traits of ducks and geese. These internationally unique native populations of commercial birds are connected with, and very well adapted to, regions of Poland that differ climatically, environmentally and culturally.

4 The birds are characterized by very good health and resistance to variable and often adverse climatic conditions, and good conversion of farm-produced feeds. They use open range and many varieties have retained the natural instinct for broodiness and looking after their young. Geese and ducks from conservation flocks provide unique material for studies of DNA polymorphism, blood serum proteins, embryo karyotypes, and quality traits of eggs and meat. The fat of these birds is considered to be healthier than pork fat as it contains more unsaturated fatty acids (long-known goose fat has been attributed healthgiving properties), and the meat is fine fibred. Another important characteristic of the waterfowl from conservation flocks is very good quality of down and feathers, which are used for the manufacture of sheeting fabrics.

5 Biological traits of geese from conservative flocks Resistance to illness; Good quality of eggs (thick, strong shell); High reproductivity; Longevity; Adaptability to environmental conditions; Ability to use less valuable feeds; Docility; Good muscling and low carcass fatness; Very good feather quality.

6 Characteristic traits of geese from native conservation flocks Southern Polish geese (Lu, Ki, Pd, Ga, Bi, ZD1) 1. Low egg production, ability to brood eggs and look after goslings, useful for agritourism farms (Lu, Ki, Pd) 2. Good egg production (ZD1, Ga) 3. High vitality of geese and good hatching ability (all varieties) 4. Low body weight with very good muscling and low carcass fatness (Lu, Ki, Pd) 5. Fine-fibre meat (Lu, Ki, Pd) 6. Useful for ecological breeding in small farms (Lu, Ki, Pd) Northern Polish geese (Ka, Ry, Su, Po) 1. Good reproductive parameters (all varieties) 2. Strong conformation (all varieties) 3. Good muscling and low carcass fatness (all varieties) 4. High vitality (all varieties)

30 DUCKS The national genetic resources conservation programme includes the following populations of ducks kept at the Waterfowl Genetic Resources Station in Dworzyska: Polish Pekin (P33), Mini-duck (K-2), Khaki Campbell Orpington (KhO-1), Pekin (LsA), Pekin (P-8) and Pekin (P-9). In addition, native Pekin ducks of lines P11, P22, P-44 and P-55 are kept at the Duck Breeding Centre in Lińsk (Kujawsko-Pomorskie province).

38 Miniduck (K2) History of the breed Miniducks were created in the 1970s at the Dworzyska Station by crossing light Pekin and wild, white mallard (Anas plathyrynchos L.) (KsiąŜkiewicz, 1979). In the next generations parental selection was directed towards low body weight, white feathers and distinct meat traits. Characteristics: Miniduck has low body weight (adult drake 1.7 kg; duck 1.4 kg). In the first year of production they lay approximately 103 eggs with good hatching ability.

39 Some valuable traits Eggs of Miniducks are characterized by a high yolk content, high value of Haugh units, and low embryo mortality during incubation. Good trunk conformation reflects good meatiness. Breast muscle content of carcass reaches 15%. Muscles have dark colour and fine fibres.

40 Polish Pekin ducks (P33) History of the breed. Polish Pekin ducks are derived from native material that was initially kept and selected at the Experimental Station of the National Research Institute of Animal Production in Pawłowice, and then in Mały Klincz, where they were crossed with ducks imported from Holland. These animals were later moved to Borowy Młyn, and after the farm was closed down in 1978, the ducks were moved as a conservation flock to the Department of Waterfowl Breeding of te National Research Institute of Animal Production in Dworzyska near Poznań. Production characteristics The body weight is about 2500 g for 7-week-old drakes, about 2400 g for ducks and g for adult birds, with 6-month production of 137 eggs per layer in the first, and 199 eggs in the second, year of utilization. The colour of hatching eggs in the first year averages 92%. Hatchability of goslings is 67% from set eggs and 73% from fertilized eggs.

41 Discussion of valuable traits Hatching eggs are characterized by great weight and low embryo mortality. The meat of P33 ducks is of great dietetic value, lean and fine fibred. Compared to other Pekin-type conservation flocks, leg muscles form the greatest proportion of eviscerated carcass and skin with subcutaneous fat the smallest. P33 ducks are also characterized by good feather quality.

42 Polish Pekin native ducks, line P11 History of the breed. The material was selected in the Gaik- Brzezowa farm. As a genetic reserve line, it was later kept at the Jurczyce Experimental Station belonging to the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, as a conservation flock at the Szczodre Experimental Station belonging to the Agricultural University in Wrocław, and on a private farm in Nieciszów near Oleśnica (Dolnośląskie province). Currently, the P11 line is kept at the Duck Breeding Centre in Lińsk, Kujawsko-Pomorskie province. Production characteristics. The body weight is about 2600 g for 7- week-old drakes and ducks, and g for adult birds. During the production period, ducks lay an average of 142 white-shell eggs, characterized by a weight of 85 g, egg fertility of 94% and hatchability of goslings from set eggs of 68%. Discussion of valuable traits. P11 ducks are very well adapted to Polish environmental and feeding conditions.

43 Polish Pekin native ducks, line P22 History of the breed. P22 birds were improved at the Borowina farm. The initial material were Polish ducks which were once crossed with Pekin drakes imported from Germany. As a genetic reserve flock they were kept at the Experimental Station Jurczyce belonging to the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, and later as a conservation flock at the Szczodre Experimental Station belonging to the Agricultural University in Wrocław. They were later moved to a private farm in Nieciszów near Oleśnica (Dolnośląskie province). Currently, the P22 line is kept at the Duck Breeding Centre in Lińsk, Kujawsko- Pomorskie province. Production characteristics. The body weight is about 2550 g for 7- week-old drakes and ducks and g for adult birds. During the production period, ducks lay an average of 130 white-shell eggs characterized by a weight of 88 g, egg fertility of 94% and hatchability of goslings form set eggs of 73%. Discussion of valuable traits. P22 ducks are resistant to unfavourable environmental and feeding conditions. Meat is characterized by desirable fine fibres.

44 In addition to the Pekin-type lines of ducks mentioned above, the Duck Breeding Centre in Lińsk keeps the populations of duck lines: P55 P44 These highly valuable populations have been kept and selected in Poland since They are characterized by high values of meat traits (P55) and reproductive traits (P44) and very good combining ability.
