Abstract :The present work was designed to study the potency of Salvinia molesta insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SM); as feedstuff influencing meat characteristics in ducks for the first time. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the effects of fermented insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FSM); and nonfermented insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NFSM); SM powder as a duck feed supplement on the lipid composition insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(fat, total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels); and fatty acid profile of duck meat, as well as its protein and water content. This study included eighty 4-week-old ducks, which were assigned at random to 2 groups based on treatment: basal diets insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(control); and supplementation with SM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15% NFSM, 15% FSM, 17.5% FSM, and 20% FSM);. The results indicated that SM significantly decreased the levels of total cholesterol and LDL of the duck meat while the HDL level significantly increased insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.05);. On the other hand, there was no change in the protein and water content of the duck meat because of SM supplementation. Furthermore, the levels of all fatty acids` composition except linolenic acid were significantly different between the control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(basal diet); and treatment insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SM diets); groups. Thus, SM, an invasive plant, can be used as a new dietary source of fatty acids for the production of healthy duck meat.
