This study aims to determine the hatching weight, performance and growth rate of local ducks that are supplemented with L-Arginine (Arg) through the parent feed and through the in-ovo feeding. A total of 500 fertile eggs were obtained from the parent feed without supplementation of L-Arginine (digestible Arg = 1.04%) and as many as 500 other fertile eggs obtained from parent feed with 0.25% L-Arginine supplementation (digestible Arg = 1.29%). Eggs obtained from parent feed without supplementation of L-Arg and eggs from the parent feed with 0.25% L-Arg supplementation were into the semi-automatic incubator and divided into 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were: P0 (Parent feed + 0% L-Arg and injection of 0% L-Arg) (control), P1 (Parent feed + 0% L-Arg and injection of 1.5% L-Arg), P2 (Parent feed + 0.25% L-Arg and injection of 0% L-Arg), and P3 (Parent feed + 0.25% L-Arg and injection of 1.5% L-Arg). In ovo feeding is done on day 8 incubation with injection into albumen using automatic syringe with depth of 10 mm. After hatching as much as 180 day old duck was moved into the pen according to the previous egg treatment and upgraded to 9 replicates, resulting in 36 experimental units. Each pen is filled with 5 ducklings with mixed gender. The results showed that the administration of L-Arginine through the parent feed and in ovo feeding can increase the hatching weight, hatching weight ratio with the egg weight, body weight gain and final body weight but no effect on feed intake and feed conversion ratio. Growth rates at week 1, 4, 5 and 8 significantly increased body weight by administering L-Arginine through the parent feed and ovo feeding. It can be concluded that L-Arginine supplementation through the parent feed and in ovo feeding can increase the hatching weight, body weight gain and the final body weight of local duck with the same feed intake and feed conversion ratio.References
