A new variety of superior duck, i.e. Alabimaster-1 Agrinak has been created and produced by the Indonesian Agricultural Research and Development Agency cq. Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production. Alabimaster-1 Agrinak has been released by Agriculture Ministerial Decree No.360/Kpts/PK.040/6/2015 through a series of the genetic selection process of local Alabio ducks from Hulu Sungai Utara District in South Kalimantan that remain high variability in its performance. Therefore, research to increase the performance through enhancing the potential genetic of local Alabio ducks is strategically carried out to achieve better value-added for farmers. The objective of the study was to analyze the liability of Alabimaster-1 Agrinak that farmers in South Kalimantan have raised. Survey methods with an in-depth interview, observation, and field verification were chosen in this study from August – October 2017. The research location was determined by purposive sampling at the farm with an economies size of scale for 500 females and 150 males Alabimaster-1 Agrinak respectively in the district of Hulu Sungai Utara and Hulu Sungai Tengah, South Kalimantan. The results showed that by 14% discounting factor, Net Present Value achieved IDR 21.808 million with B/C ratio of 1.21 and 17.96% of return on investment. This can be concluded that the innovation of Alabimaster-1 Agrinak enables enhancing the added value of raising ducks for a better living of farmers. The availability of good breeding stock of Alabimaster-1 Agrinak needs to be supported by the local government by empowering a group of farmers that are supervised intensively for technical aspects.
