This study conducted to investigate the difference of performance and carcass rate in different breeds of meat type duck. A total of one hundred twenty ducks of each breeds (Cherry valley, Grimaud and F1 strain) were randomly distributed three treatments with four replicates of 30 birds per replicate for 8 weeks. Weight gain of Cherry valley was higher significantly compared to F1 and there was not significantly different compared to Grimaud. Feed intake of Grimaud for 0~8weeks was significantly higher compared to Cherry valley and F1. Also Feed conversion ratio of Grimaud for whole period was highest in all treatments. Carcass ratio of Cherry valley and Grimaud was higher than F1. Breast meat ratio was not significantly different but Grimaud was higher than the others.
