This study used a Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) with a divided plot design with the main plot consisting of pools, and without pools, subplots consisted of ration energy levels of E1 (2700 Kcal/kg), E2 (2900 Kcal/kg) and E3 (3100 Kcal/kg) with three groups. The study raised 90 male Kamang ducks. The treatment began at two weeks of age and ended at the 10th week Each cage consisted of 5 Kamang ducks per treatment making a total of 90 ducks. The variables observed were ration consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, and growth rate. The results showed that there was is no interaction between the duck rearing method with varying ration energy levels on ration consumption, body weight gain, ration conversion, and growth rate (p>0.05). Also, the level of ration energy did not affect ration consumption, body weight gain, ration conversion, and growth rate (P>0.05). However, the maintenance of ducks with and without pools was significantly different (p}, journal = {American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
