Duck Eggs Meat Or Not - Just Interesting

Although traditionally cultivated, raised ducks can improve the welfare of farmers.



As usual, after morning prayers, Warkiya, visited the cage to collect eggs. From 1000 he ducks maintained, collected daily 600-650 eggs. Since 1981, he graduated from elementary school is consolidating into duck breeders in Babadan, Gunung Jati, Cirebon, West Java. "Thank God, the result of the duck (duck) was able to improve the welfare of the family," he admitted. Success Warkiya also experienced other duck farmers who had encountered AGRINA in West Java, Central Java and East Java.

Warkiya duck business progress is closely related to the development pattern of dirikannya cattle groups since 1998. Together with another farmer, he founded the Agribusiness Livestock Farmers Group Duck "Duck Jaya". This group managed to build a business system agribinis from feed production to marketing. And, until now the village as one of the centers laying duck farming in Cirebon.

Apart from Cirebon, West Java ducks in developing other districts. DG data based Livestock, Agriculture, Jabar largest duck countless centers with 5.9 million head of population, or 16-17% of the national population.

Nationally, duck populations continue to increase. In 2006, the population was 34.6 million head, or up 6.8% from the previous year.



Small Capital

So far, duck farming is still concentrated in producing eggs. While the meat is on the side of the duck afkir. According to some breeders, laying duck business is more promising than broiler ducks.

Warkiya opinion, be it duck breeders laying lesser strength, but rather income. Daily income from the sale of eggs, and income from monthly to afkir ducks.

Similar expressed Raharjo, Chairman of the Livestock Farmers Ducks (KTTI) "happy" in Pakijangan, Bulakamba, Brebes, Central Java. "Capital raising is not too big duck. The main cost just to buy ducklings (day old duck-DOD) which Rp4.500-Rp5.000/ekor price, "he said. Usually, he continued, the farmer bought 500 Brebes DOD tail. This amount is to be the benchmark for a minimal gain.

From the 500's tail, every day gained 350-400 eggs. With the selling price can be obtained Rp800-Rp850/butir sales Rp280.000. After deducting the cost of feed and drugs as much as Rp150.000-Rp180.000, net profit Rp90.000-Rp100.000 day.

According to Prof. Dr. Peni S. Hardjosworo, M.Sc., duck experts from the Faculty of Animal Husbandry IPB, the amount was reasonable profit. You see, keeping ducks is not too complicated. In addition, lower mortality and production of duck eggs are much better than chicken.

Even so, according to Solomon Rekso, duck breeders from KTTI Purwadiwangsa, Pesurungan Lor, MARGADANA, Tegal, which must be considered first when breeding ducks is his character. Ducks can not be equated with the machine to continue to produce.



Request DOD and Pullet High

Ir. Setyo Utomo, from the Animal Husbandry Department Kab. Cirebon, say, this hard work led to "Medal of Development" of the central government.

Good result, we have his parent stock, "said Hasan.

Unfortunately, Hasan capital constrained for development towards the nursery. And if there are good prospects of capital or soft loans for development from the government.

Need to Diversify

Outside of these two centers, the business began to squirm duck meat in the last 1-2 years. It can be seen from the mushrooming restaurants fried duck, duck satay, duck bermenu restaurants in the country.

Linus Simanjuntak, breeders Ticktock in Sawangan, Depok, justify, broiler ducks demand continues to increase, while the duck farms in Indonesia are still laying duck farms specifically. As a result, demand for meat supplied by a duck a duck afkir and males.

"This new market opportunities for duck meat. For that we need no special effort from the strains of broiler duck broiler ducks, "suggested Prof. Peni. However, farmers are still reluctant to breed broiler ducks because it benefits not been promising. This is justified Syahroni, duck breeders KT members Livestock Food Source, Brebes. If 1 week old ducks maintained for 5.5 months and then sold as broiler ducks Rp20.000/ekor price, thankfully thin, only Rp2.500/ekor.
