The current study ws designed to investigte protein nd metolic energy level on performnce including met qulity nd muscle fier size of mle muscovy ducks. Five protein levels nd metolic energy of feed tretments (13% nd 300 kcl/kg, 15% nd 500 kcl/kg, 17% nd 700 kcl/kg, 19% nd 900 kcl/kg, 1% nd 3100 kcl/kg) nd 100 mle dod of muscovy ducks were dministered in this reserch. Protein nd metolic energy level significntly ffected (p<0.01) crcss weight, feed conversion rtio, dominl ft percentge, physicl met qulity nd muscle fier dimeter. Feed with 1% protein nd 3100 kcl/kg metolic energy resulted in good performnce (134.60±43.6 crcss weight, 4.00±0.64 feed conversion nd 68.86±5.59% crcss percentge), physicl met qulity nd lrge muscle fier dimeter of µm, ut comprtively high dominl ft level of 5.60±0.71.

A totl of 100 mle dy old Muscovy ducks were rndomly distriuted to 5-comprtment cge pplying Completely Rndomized Design. Muscovy ducks were kept in cement floored cge t mient temperture 33 C in prior period then decresed ech week up to 8 C t the eighth week. Feed nd wter were given d liitum. Tretment feeds were referred to Ntionl Reserch Council (1994) s shown in Tle 1. The oserved performnces were finl weight, feed conversion rtio, crcss percentge, dominl ft level nd physicl met qulity, while muscle fier oserved ws muscle fier size. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Muscovy duck performnce Crcss weight: The highest crcss weight of 9-weekold Muscovy ducks ws 34.60±4.6 g in R5. It ws still inferior to tht y Omojol (007) nd Solomon et l. (006) producing 000 nd 470 g Muscovy ducks. Protein nd metolic energy level significntly ffected (p<0.01) crcss weight. Tle shows tht the higher protein nd metolic energy level, the higher crcss weight gined, while feed with low protein nd metolic energy level ws not sufficient for erly growth phse of Muscovy ducks. Brhmntiyo et l. (003) reported tht mle Muscovy ducks grow fst until 9 weeks old nd need feed with high lnced protein nd energy. Fn et l. (008) stted tht met duck ws highly responsive to high metolic energy feed. On the contrry, Iskndr et l. (001) showed tht tretment feed with 750 kcl ME/kg nd 180 g/kg protein produced crcss weight not significntly different from tht of 3000 kcl ME/kg nd 00 g/kg protein nd 350 kcl ME/kg nd 0 g/kg protein. Atmomrsono (1999), Tnwirih (006), Miclosnu nd Roiu (001) nd Bintng (000) reported tht higher protein level would speed up Muscovy s fether growth, leding to fster dptility nd eventully higher weight gin. Feed conversion: Feed conversion verge of 9-weekold Muscovy fed with different level of protein nd metolic energy diet rnged from 4,00±0,64 to 5.6±0.38, (Tle ). Feed conversion in this reserch ws higher thn tht of Bhuiyn et l. (005), Tnwirih et l. (011) nd Hung et l. (01), reporting mle Muscovy feed conversion ws.64, from nd Protein nd metolic energy tretment significntly ffected (p<0.01) feed conversion which is strongly relted to feed consumption nd ody weight gin nd it could e used to mesure feed efficiency nd fowl productivity (Lcy nd Vest, 004). R1 ws not different from R ecuse of reltively similr feed consumption ( nd 518 g) nd reltively similr ody weight gin (919.8 nd g) in Tle 1: Mterils nd Compositions of Tretment Feed R1 R R3 R4 R5 Percentge Corn SBM Rice rn PMM Oil L-lysinse HCl DL-Methionine Topmix NCl CCO Amount Protein (%) ME (kcl/kg) Ft (%) Crude fier (%) C (%) Pv (%) Lysine (%) Methionine (%) Muscovy for nine weeks, respectively. Feed consumption in R4 ws however reltively high, scoring 571 g ut with only 1088 g ody weight gin. R3 nd R5 showed reltively similr ody weight gin (1139 nd 188 g), respectively nd feed consumption of 505 nd 556 g, respectively. Fctors influencing feed consumption re environment, ge, sex nd nutrient content. This ws in ccordnce with Iskndr et l. (001) tht ducks fed with 750 kcl/kg ME nd 18% crude protein diet showed higher feed consumption thn those with 3000 kcl/kg nd 0% protein diet, scoring 96,61 g nd g, respectively; however, feed efficiency ws reltively similr. Fn et l. (008) stted tht for to 6 week old ducks to gin weight required 18% protein nd kcl/kg ME diet. Crcss percentge: The verge crcss percentge in this reserch ws 63.04±5.64 to 68.86±5.59 (Tle ). According to Bhuiyn et l. (005) 9-week-old Muscovy duck hd crcss percentge, while Kleczek (006) stted tht crcss percentge of mle nd femle Muscovy ws nd , respectively. Protein nd metolic energy level did not significntly ffect (p>0.05) crcss percentge ecuse protein nd metolic energy ffect not only ody weight gin ut lso other non-crcss orgns. This is in line with Soeprno (005) nd Ydny (004) tht crcss weight nd crcss percentge re significntly ffected y slughter weight nd non-crcss weight (weight of lood, fether, leg nd innrds). Rji et l. (009) lso stted tht there ws highly significnt positive correltion (p<0.01) etween ody weight nd ody mesurements nd innrds. Suprynto (006) nd Skln et l. (003) stted tht high slughter weight did not lwys result in high crcss weight nd crcss percentge ecuse higher living ody weight required igger orgns to hve well-lnced metolism. 654

Cooking loss: Muscovy fed with different protein nd metolic energy level hd met cooking loss rnging from 31.38±0.95 to 40.14±0.96% (Tle 3). It ws reltively similr to tht of Alvrdo nd Sms (000) scoring 31.6 to 37.97% nd of Ali et l. (007) nmely 34,48±1,48%.

Increse in feed protein nd energy would increse met protein nd ft, so tht less met juice ws lost when cooking nd cooking loss ws closely relted to ph nd wter holding cpcity. Tenderness: Muscovy met tenderness ws etween 5.0±0.14 nd 5.88±0.06 kg/cm (Tle 3). While Omojol (007) reported lower met tenderness on mle Muscovy of 3.8±0.7 kg/cm nd Bez reported 4.56±0.48-5,14±0,45 kg/cm. The higher protein nd metolic energy level, the more tender the met produced ecuse Muscovy ducks undergo norml growth nd mximum muscle cells growth is followed y ft cells growth, mking met of Muscovy R4 nd R5 fttier. This is in line with Tmunn (009) tht fctors influencing met tenderness is correlted with met composition itself, mong which re ft cells in etween met fier nd collgen. According to Soeprno (005), tenderness ws lso ffected y met collgen ecuse collgen could ccumulte gretly. Chrtrin et l. (003) Muscle fier: The verge of muscle fier dimeter in Muscovy rnged from 1.41±1.69 to 50.59±7.54 µm s shown in Tle 4. Reserch y Sudjtinh (1998) showed dimeter of 8.00 to 3.16 µm, while Sri (003) reported Mule duck/mndlung (Muscovy nd Ans crossred) hd 13.47±3.6 muscle fier dimeter t 8 week old, 15.4±.99 t 10 week old nd 18.08±5.01 µm t 1 week old. Protein nd metolic energy level significntly ffected (p<0.01) muscle fier dimeter which is the result of hypertrophy process. Soeprno (005) reported tht prentl muscle growth ws mrked s muscle fier hyperplsi period nd postntl muscle growth ws prticulrly due to hypertrophy. Mozdzik et l. (00) nd Rehfeldt et l. (004) mentioned tht muscle fier dimeter of fsting fowls ws smller thn those of feed sufficiency. Feed intke limittion either quntittively or qulittively would lower muscle fier dimeter. Choi nd Kim (008) stted tht muscle fier dimeter depended on some fctors s species, sex nd nutrition. According to Kisiel nd Ksizkiewicz (004) nd Biesid-Drzzg et l. (000) slow growing duck or dwrf duck hs smll muscle fier dimeter ut fst growing duck or ig odied duck hs lrge fier dimeter. Muscle fier dimeter is relted to tender or tough met, muscle fier size in cross sectionl re will increse long with geing, lrge muscle fier dimeter ppers rougher nd more elstic thn smll dimeter (Drnsfield nd Sosnicki, 1999). Conclusion: Feed contining 1% protein nd 3100 kcl/kg metolic energy resulted in optimum performnce (crcss weight, feed conversion rtio nd 656
