The effects of the diet fat type on some biochemical, growth and semen characteristics were studied in 32 males Muscovy ducks distributed into 4 comparable experimental groups of 8 birds. During a period of 12 weeks, each of the group was randomly fed one of the rations including the control diet (T) or one diet containing either soya bean oil (S), pig fat (G) or palm oil (P). Life weight of group G was significantly (P 0.05) among groups. Diet containing Pig fat induced the lowest (P 0.05) among treatment groups. For the hepatic cholesterol rate, value obtained with palm oil was significantly (P 0.05) different among groups. The type of dietary fat except pig fat may therefore improve growth and reproduction performance of Muscovy duck.
