MESIN TETAS TENAGA SURYA PADA PETERNAKAN ITIK ALABIO DI KECAMATAN GAMBUT KABUPATEN BANJAR

Abstract

Breeding ducks Alabio not be separated from the activities of the hatch, but the productivity in generating Day Old Duck (day old ducklings) on hatching activity remains low. This is due to some problems in the hatchery that often the death of the electricity so that the temperature and humidity of the incubator is not constant during hatching. This will affect the duck embryonic development. Besides, reversal and provision of high humidity is still done manually so that the eggs are often removed from the incubator. Reversal of eggs is essential to prevent embio attached to the shell. South Kalimantan is a tropical region with year-roundsunshine. It can be stored to be utilized as a source of energy through the conversion of solar energy into heating the incubator. Aside from the use of solar energy becomes a substitute for the electricity and can last up to 15 years without having to pay subscription fees and usage of electricity. Solar power conversion technology can overcome the limitations of the heater in the incubator in the District Peat Banjar district, in addition to the modifications to the reversal of eggs and automatic sprayer. With this expected productivity hatchery to produce DOD will be higher. Yet another obstacle arises when DOD high productivity being offset by marketing efforts. For that partners business group sales of poultry Setia Budi prepared to be a partner in marketing the Day Old Duck (DOD), which previously only market the consumption of duck eggs. Measuring the success of this activity is to look at the operation of the incubator solar power during the 28 days prior to hatching without any outages, as well as the percentage of eggs that hatch, number of DOD that hatch in a healthy condition, business analysis more efficient hatching and the number of DOD that could be marketed.
