PENGARUH SUHU PENETASAN TERHADAP FERTILITAS, MORTALITAS DAN DAYA TETAS TELUR AYAM KAMPUNG (Gallus domesticus) PADA INKUBATOR

Abstract

This study was intended to determine the best temperature for hatching free-range chicken eggs in the incubator so that breeders could get more day-old chicken (DOC) with the same diversity. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD). This study used 150 free-range chicken eggs obtained from breeders in Gunung Paok Hamlet, Perian Village, Montong Gading District, East Lombok Regency, which were divided into three treatments, namely 35 ° C - 36 ° C, 37 ° C - 38 ° C and 39. ° C - 40 ° C and five repetitions with the number of eggs repeating using 10 free-range chicken eggs. The variables observed were fertility, mortality, and hatchability of native chicken eggs. Data analysis was performed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the analysis of variance showed that differences in the temperature of native chicken eggs in the incubator showed a significant difference (P> 0.05) in fertility, mortality, and hatchability. The best results were obtained at an incubation temperature of 37 ° C - 38 ° C with an average hatchability of 82,88± 8,87%.
