Development of Duck Farming in Gumuk Mas District, Jember Regency
Abstract
The objective of this activity is to apply automatic system duck egg hatching machine technology to increase production capacity, reduce the mortality rate of day old duck (DOD), improve the quality of day old duck, be more efficient because the process of controlling temperature, humidity, reversal is done automatically, and is more energy efficient thus reducing production costs. . The development of a duck business has bright prospects in Indonesia, because duck eggs and duck meat are side dishes of staple foods that are popular with the public. This activity is carried out in small industry partners of UD Jawa Meri which is located in Menampu Village, Sub-district. Gumuk Mas, Regency Jember, which is engaged in the business of producing duck eggs and raising duck eggs. This industry has problems that are almost the same as other small duck industries, which are frequent and currently experiencing problems in duck egg incubators. The method of implementation in this activity uses the community empowerment method so that it can be accepted and beneficial to both user partners. The overall impact of this activity is the realization of community independence, namely people who are able to solve their own problems. The result of this activity was to develop and implement an automatic system duck egg incubator technology, providing training on the operation of an automatic system duck egg incubator. The application of one duck egg incubator has increased the production capacity of duck eggs from 15,000 seeds per month to 20,000 seeds per month. Hatchability of duck eggs increased from 65% to 85%. Production costs decreased from Rp. 2,900 per egg becomes Rp 2,500 per egg. The quality of the duck seeds produced is better. The results of this activity will be published through making videos of the results of the activities uploaded on YouTube, the Jember Pos print media, and participating in the ICoFA international seminar. An additional output is the creation of ISBN textbooks.
