A 13-week on-farm study was conducted to determine the growth performance of Muscovies under free-range and confinement in south-eastern Nigeria. Forty-five (45) ducklings from 4 mothers were subjected to free-range system of production while another 45 ducklings from another 4 mothers were raised under confinement. At 13 weeks of age, the ducklings raised under confinement weighed an average 3.25kg which was significantly (P<0.05) heavier weights from their counterparts under free-range system. Breast, thigh and back weights of the ducks raised under confinement were also significantly (P<0.05) heavier. Weights of the internal organs (liver, gizzard, heart and kidney) were not affected by the treatments (P>0.05).The ducklings under confinement consumed on the average 123.6gm of feed daily with feed conversion ratio of 3.96%. Those under free-range system recorded 31% mortality as against the 11% recorded by those under confinement.

Background: The amniotic fluid is fundamental for proper fetal development and growth. Ultrasound visualization of the amniotic fluid permits both subjective and objective estimates of the amniotic fluid. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the reference values of normal single deepest pocket (SDP) – upper and lower limits, mean SDP and variation of the SDP with gestational age among Igbo women of South-Eastern Nigeria extraction carrying uncomplicated singleton pregnancy. Methodology: This was a prospective cross sectional study involving 400 women carrying uncomplicated singleton pregnancies and who were sure of the date of the first day of their last menstrual period. The single deepest pocket / maximum vertical pool were determined once at presentation at the hospital.. The study was conducted from January 1st to December 31st 2015. The second author carried out all the scanning. The SDP was obtained. Results: The womens’ mean and median ages were the same at 28 years. The gestational age range of the pregnancies was 14-41 weeks. The mean SDP was 5.8cm, while the 5th and 95th percentiles were 3.3cm and 8.5cm respectively. There was no difference in the mean SDP in both term and preterm. There was irregular but continuous rise of mean SDP to a peak of 6.8cm at gestational age of 39 weeks. In conclusion, the participants had a mean SDP of 5.8cm. There was also a positive correlation between SDP and Gestational age. We therefore recommend a longitudinal study to assess perinatal outcome and abnormal amniotic fluid volume among Igbo women of South-Eastern Nigeria. Key words: Single Deepest Pocket, Uncomplicated Singleton Pregnancy, Igbo Women.
