Abstract
Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of brewery waste (BW) replacement of concentrate (C) in growing duck diets. In Exp. 1, which was carried out on-station, 300 ducklings were allocated in a 2x5 factorial experiment: Two breeds (local Muscovy and crosses of French and local Muscovy)x5 levels of C and with BW offered ad libitum. Concentrate only ad libitum as the control diet (C 100), and levels of 75% (C75), 50% (C50), 25% (C25) and 0% (CO) of the amount of the control diet consumed, and with BW ad libitum. In Exp. 2, 200 ducklings were allocated in a 2x2 factorial experiment on five smallholdings: two breeds (local and crossbred Muscovy ducks)x2 diets (the C100 and C50 diets from Exp. 1). In Exp. 1 total dry matter (DM), BW, crude fiber (CF) and crude protein (CP) intakes were highest on the CO diet and ME and lysine intakes lowest (p
