Abstract

Alabio duck is a local duck and germplasm from South Kalimantan that lives and breeds in swamp agroecosystems. The necessity of Alabio duck breeds or day old duck (DOD) and duckling as a potential broodstock increases every year. The necessity of Alabio duck breed hasn’t been fulfilled properly because the low hatchability and the mortality of eggs wrapped still high, so productivity of DOD is low. The ways to increase of Alabio breeds could be done by improving the management of brood and drake rearing, improving feed management and hatching technique. This study was carried out in Hulu Sungai Utara District, South Kalimantan from January to December 2018. The aims of this study was to determine the improvement of nursery management toward productivity of alabio duck. Parameters observed were egg production performance, hatching performance (germination, hatchability, mortality), institutional system, economic analysis, development potency and feasibility of Alabio duck farming system. The results of this study show that the performance of broodstock Alabio duck laying eggs in 22 weeks, feed consumption is 150 grams/head/day, egg production is 75.80% and the peak production reaches 85.90%, and the egg weight is 63.81 gram/egg. The hatching performance for 3 times of hatching periode is egg germination 80-95%, egg hatchability 70-75%, hatch weight/DOD 45-50 gram, and embrio mortality 20-23%. From this study, it could be concluded that the improvement of nursery management is by improving feed management, cage management, selection breed based on good parent production of duck. Bussines development of hatching, rearing, breeding, and laying of Alabio duck is feasible to be used as bussines activities that could increase farmers’ income.
