A total of 180 one-day-old Cherry Valley meat ducklings (male duck) were randomly divided into 2 treatment groups, and there were 6 replicates for each treatment and 15 male ducks for each replicate. The control and experimental groups were fed a basal diet and a mold-exposed diet, respectively, and initial body weight was not significantly different between the groups (P > 0.05). The ducklings were raised in battery cages, and warm air was used for brooding ducklings. During the trial period, male ducks had free access to food and water, regular desludging and sterilization were conducted, and a 24-h light was provided. The survival ratios of ducks in control and test group were 96.67% and 95.56%, respectively.
