Our study is mainly concentrated on the wet land areas of the Kuttanad Belt. Intensive studies were conducted in the areas from Kidangara to Ramankery which is an extensive belt concentrating in duck farming. Unorganized duck farms are concentrated in the roadsides of the A.C. road, which is always a busy route. Larger and much organized duck farms are concentrated in the sub urbs of Kuttanad. Duck cultivation is normally done in areas, which are close to water bodies. In our study, almost all the farmers concentrate on the production of Kuttanadan duck breeds. Kuttanadan duck breeds are the indigenous duck breeds found in the Kuttanadan wet land belt. The water rich wetland areas inhabit a large number of Kuttanadan ducks. Since these duck breeds are locally available, the farmers concentrate on the production of these
