Abstract - The present study was conducted to know the production and reproduction potentialities of Sylhet mete duck found in Habiganj region of Bangladesh. Data on a total of 58 adult Sylhet mete ducks were collected from 10 duck owners having Sylhet mete duck flocks in the Habiganj region. Informations were accumulated by using a structured questionnaire through personal interaction. Age at the first egg of Sylhet mete duck was found to be 174.29 ? 1.16 days. The average annual egg production, peak production, egg weight and breeding ratio were 146.25 ? 6.27, 26.25 ? 0.17 weeks, 64.96 ? 0.59 g and 1.53 ? 0.04, respectively found in ducks raised by farmers in villages of Habiganj region. The present study provided some baseline information on Sylhet mete duck of Bangladesh, which could be useful for genetic characterization, conservation and future improvement programs in the country.
