Ukuran Tubuh Entok di Tiga Kabupaten Provinsi Jawa Tengah
Abstrak: The study was
conducted to identify the body measurements of Muscovy duck among three regency
(Pekalongan, Magelang dan Demak) in Central Java. Material of the experiment
was 210 muscovy ducks at 7 months of age (70 birds/regency, 35 males and 35
females). Parameters observed were body weight, bill length, bill width, head
length, head circumference, high head, neck length, neck circumference, wing
length, body length, breast circumference, body height, breast length, femur
length, tibia length, tibia circumference, maxilla length, and length of third
toe. Data of body measurement were analyzed through univariate and multivariate
using SAS.Whereas the Mahalanobis distance were analyzed using MEGA 5 (UPGMA)
to construct the phylogeny tree. Result showed that there were some differences
(P<0,05) between male and female of muscovy duck in each regency at all
variables. Wing length and breast circumference were the distinguishing
variable between regencys. Muscovy duck from Magelang had a closer genetic
distance to Pekalongan than Demak.
