Duck Culture Profitability and Runner Ducks Industry
An article outlines the profitability of duck farming, noting green ducks and the Indian Runner as key developments. It highlights regional production gaps, demand for duck eggs and meat, and breeding strategies favoring fast growth and balanced size in Runner stock.
White Muscovy Duck Profile and Habits
The Muscovy duck, debated as a goose by some, is a ducklike bird from Brazil. It comes in white and colored varieties with white plumage, large males up to twelve pounds, and orange yellow legs. It prefers to steal nests, rarely hatches many ducklings away from the farm. White Muscovies yield good game when young but become tough and unpalatable with age, limiting their utility on large farms.
