Abstract

There has been an increase in demand for people's needs for Day Old Duck (DOD), based on 16% of egg consumption in Indonesia which is met by duck eggs. There is a need for technology to apply egg incubators that can increase DOD productivity. The aim of this duck egg hatching research is to increase the productivity of duck breeders through the sale of ducklings or DOD by having a higher selling price through the application of egg incubators. The method of data analysis in this study used an experimental method using quantitative data analysis of percentage frequency tables (%), and T-Tests which were processed using the excel application effectively. The results of this study found that the difference in hatchability of Mojosari duck eggs and hybrid ducks was very significant, namely 27.6. From the hatchability percentage of Mojosari ducks, the hatchability was around 71.4%, while the percentage of hybrid ducks was around 62.2%. This difference is caused by hatching temperature, relative humidity, shell thickness, weight, integrity, egg shape, cleanliness, and egg age. So that the Mojosari duck business has more prospects of being developed as a DOD nursery than hybrid ducks.
