Author(s): JD Mahanta and GU Zaman
Abstract: Biometrical characteristics of Cina hanh ducks of Assam were investigated. The data were collected from 110 male and 250 female at 30 weeks of age from the breeding tract of Cina hanh found in certain districts of Assam. The mean measurements of different body parts of Cina hanh revealed significantly (P<0.01) higher values in males than the female. The plumage colour at various body pars like head, neck, breast, wing, back and tail and colour of bill and feet was recorded. The general plumage colour of both male and female Cina hanh could be described as basically blackish green in back, tail and wing, whereas the neck and breast were white in colour. The bill was blackish with a band of reddish stripe extending upto the tip and feet were dull black in colour. The reddish fleshy caruncles of the male were well developed and extended to the base of the bill and surrounding the eyelids, whereas there caruncles were less developed or absent in females. The Cina hanh ducks lay creamy white shelled egg.
