Master Ducks (Commercial Seed Laying Superior)

The potential of ducks in Indonesia is quite large, as evidenced by the presence of local ducks are highly variable due to the influence of both genetic abilities or due to environmental influences. To increase the productivity of local ducks, as well as to produce seeds ducks that have the ability to adapt to the environment, it has done a series of studies in IRIAP. Research directed towards the evaluation of the ability of the production of various types of local ducks, and eventually obtained a MA hybrid ducks (Mojosari x Alabio) called master duck. The ducks are expected to adapt to the environment, and potentially serve as a commercial seed producer of eggs with caged systems.

Technical Excellence :
  • Average production of eggs per year : 70% (265 eggs), 15% higher
  • Peak egg production : 94% (10 - 15% higher)
  • Age at first laying : 18 weeks (4 - 5 months), 1 month early
  • Egg production period : 10 - 12 months/cycles, without hair loss
  • The ratio of feed utilization (FCR) : 3.2
  • Mortality rate : very low (< 1%)
Biological Superiority :
  • Gender identification at the time of hatching is easy, simply based on coat color (darker colored males)
  • Drake child growth faster making it suitable for fattening as duck pieces medium size
  • Specific coat color and very uniform
  • Eggshell color bluish green uniform
