White Pekin ducks (45) in second year of laying (53 weeks) were divided into three groups with three replicates in each group and each replicate had five ducks. Three diets with wheat (W100BR0), wheat plus broken rice (W50BR50) and broken rice (W0BR100) were prepared and offered randomly to the above groups for a period of 20 weeks followed by a metabolism trial of 4-d collection period on six birds from each group. All the diets were iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric. The dry matter intake was similar among the groups. The metabolisability (%) of DM, OM, CP, EE and CF in group W50BR50 was higher than W0BR100, but both were similar to W100BR0. The nitrogen balance in W50BR50 group was higher than W0BR100 group, but was similar to W100BR0 group. The total feed intake, egg production, DDEP%, FCR (feed consumed in kg per dozen egg production) was similar among the groups. The cost (Rs.) per egg in W0BR100 was lower than W100BR0 and W50BR50. The egg weight, egg shape index, albumen index, yolk index, Haugh unit albumen% and yolk% were similar among the groups. The percentage of shell weights in W0BR100 group was significantly lower than the W100BR0 group; but both the values were similar with W50BR50 group. It can be concluded that White Pekin ducks can be raised on exclusive wheat or broken rice based diets during second year of laying under intensive rearing system; however, mixture of wheat and broken rice in equal ratio increased the metabolisability of the nutrients of the feed.
