Daya Tetas Telur Itik Cihateup dan Alabio
Abstract: Local ducks in
Indonesia such as alabio duck and cihateup duck have advantages as egg producer
and meat producer. Efforts is needed to increase the population of ducks by
doing hatching. This research is to learn the hatchability of alabio duck and
cihateup duck and identify of the factors that can be affected hatching duck
eggs. Eggs ducks used 200 grains eggs ducks cihateup and eggs ducks alabio 300
grains. The process of hatching the egg ducks held for 28 days. The percentage
fertility and hatchability results duck eggs alabio higher than cihateup duck
eggs. Death embryonic the biggest occurred on the day to 26-28 days. Greater
egg weights produce larger DOD. Weight of eggs and duck eggs index has no
effect on hatchability but which affect hatchability of duck eggs in this study
is high temperature during incubation, lower humidity during the period hatcher
and egg hygiene. Alabio duck egg weight is lighter than duck eggs cihateup and
more oval shaped while cihateup duck eggs more rounded shape. Weight egg and
index egg on two types of eggs uniforms.
