Foreword

Ducks are tough animals and good scavengers. They are easier and cheaper to keep than chickens. This makes duck keeping for the pro- duction of eggs and meat an attractive enterprise.

Agromisa and CTA have produced this Agrodok in order to support people in improving their daily livelihood. This can be done either through income generation from a small-scale duck keeping enterprise or through improving the daily diet with duck eggs and meat.

We hope that many people will benefit from this Agrodok.

We are grateful to Mr Buisonj\u00e9 of the Spelderholt Institute in Beek- bergen, the Netherlands. Being an expert on poultry and duck keeping he has provided valuable information and practical knowledge. We have appreciated the time and effort he has put into improving the contents of this Agrodok.
