| Judul Artikel | Duck Egg Quality: A Comparison of Rearing Systems in Tropical Indonesia |
| Abstrak (Bhs. Indonesia) | |
| Abtrak (Bhs. Inggris) | Duck farming in tropical regions such as Indonesia faces challenges in standardizing egg quality to meet rising consumer demand. Optimizing rearing systems is a pivotal strategy for enhancing production efficiency and product consistency. This study evaluated and compared external and internal egg quality metrics of local ducks reared under extensive, colony-intensive, and battery-cage systems in Banyumas, Indonesia. A total of 90 fresh eggs were collected from farms representative of each system, with 30 eggs allocated to each housing treatment. External traits, including weight and shape index, alongside internal parameters such as Haugh Unit, yolk color (L*, a*, b*), and pH, were analyzed using Analysis of Variance followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. External morphometry analysis indicated no significant differences (P > 0.05) in egg weight or shape index among the groups. Internal quality assessment showed that eggs from intensive systems had significantly better albumen freshness, yielding higher Haugh Unit scores compared to the extensive method. Yolk color also differed. Eggs from the colony system had the most intense red color (a*), while eggs from extensive systems were paler and more yellow. Eggs from battery cages had higher albumen pH, indicating faster loss of freshness, compared to those from the colony system. The colony system appears to offer a good balance, maintaining internal egg quality without changing physical yield. Implementation of this semi-intensive configuration provides a viable pathway for sustainable egg production in the region. |
