A research has been conducted from September third until November 2002 to study canibalism and performance of Muscovy duck. The method applied was experiment with factorial pattern of Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The first factors were debeaking (P): p1= control, p2= debeaking. The second factors were crude fibre content in ration (R): r1 = 6 percent, r2 = 8 percent and r3 = 10 percent. Parameters observed were canibalism mortality, food consumption, growth rate, carcas production, meat and blood cholesterol and meat fat. The duck used were 96 heads at one week old and cage in 24 pens with litter floor. The results indicated that debeaking had no significant effect on food consumption, growth rate, carcas percentage and blood cholesterol, but it had significant effect on carcas weight and meat fat up to 8 weeks old. Crude fibre had significant effect on blood and meat cholesterol.
