abstract = {Optimizing duck performance under minimal water conditions is essential for sustainable poultry farming. Biosynthesizing essential feed supplements like Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), and methionine using Saccharomyces cerevisiae presents a promising method to enhance growth and meat quality. This study developed a biosynthesis method for Zn, Cu, and methionine supplements using S. cerevisiae and evaluated their effects on duck performance. In experiment 1, substrates containing ZnO, CuSO₄, and tryptophan were fermented with varying concentrations of S. cerevisiae spores (1×10⁷, 2×10⁷ and 3×10⁷ spores/100 g) for 3, 5, 7, or 9 days. The fermentation process was assessed for physical, chemical, and biological quality to determine optimal conditions. The optimal condition was identified as 3×10⁷ spores/100 g substrate with a 9-day fermentation period, resulting in significant increases in Zn content by 25% (p},
