Use GAS as Duck Feed

Here’s good news for mallard duck raisers. You can now substitute half of your duck layer pellets with crushed golden apple snail (GAS) or golden kuhol and still produce as much egg as when the birds are totally fed with duck layer pellets.

Results of a study conducted by researchers of the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Unit I showed that 100 duck layers could be fed with a mixture of 11.75.kg of crushed GAS mixed thoroughly with 11.75 kg of pellets.
