ABSTRACT: Duck’s hatchery
industry produces a diverse weight of Day old Duck’s (DOD) because the hatched
eggs have diverse weight. The diverse of DOD weight indicates to cause affect
to the performance of ducks. Research was conducted to measure the influenceof
hatching weight to performance of Alabio duck’s age 0 to 8 weeks. This research
used 47 males and 96 females Alabio duck. Alabio’s DODs were separated based on
hatching weight, that is small grade (34.39 ± 1.70), medium grade(38.57 ±
0.91), and large grade(43.12 ± 1.98). All ducks had same treatment and
maintenance system. This research used randomized completely design with 2x3
factorials of sex and hatching weight. The observed variables ware consumption,
average daily gain, weight cuts at 8 th weeks, feed conversion, and mortality.
From this research, hatching weights didn’t influenced to all performances,
however sex can influence to daily gain, body weight at 8 th weeks, and feed conversion. Male ducks have
daily gain and body weight at 8 th weeks bigger than female ducks. Male ducks
have lower feed conversion than female ducks.
