The study aimed to analyze the chemical composition of pellet bedding made from straw or coffee husks (10%, 25%, 50%) and to examine the performance characteristics of broiler ducks as well as footpad dermatitis. During the rearing process, the properties of the bedding and the utility features of the ducks were analyzed, and the frequency of footpad dermatitis (FPD) in ducks was verified.
The dataset presents raw data related to the publication: Biesek, J., Wlaźlak, S., Banaszak, M. et al. Evaluation of coffee husks in pellet bedding, performance characteristics, footpad dermatitis scoring, and meat quality of broiler ducks. Vet Res Commun 48, 165–177 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11259-023-10196-w.
The data was obtained as a part of a project entitled "Research on the use of coffee husks in bedding for broiler chickens and ducks", No. 2021/05/X/NZ9/00820, financed by the National Science Center (Poland). (Project Investigator: Biesek, Jakub)
