Abstract
This study was mixed method research that aims to study and design a temperature control incubator for native chick nursery in terms of increasing the survival rate of chicks over a period of 0 to 6 weeks. The area’s niches were analyzed by qualitative research, namely the research samples were obtained by purposive sampling. Data was collected by using in-depth interviews. Together with the study of area characteristics that affect survival and growth rates, it was found that the results were consistent with air temperature in the range of 28 -32 degrees Celsius. After that, it was determined as a treatment to design and test chick nursery cabinets by quantitative research; experimental design by Completely Randomized Design (CRD) divided into 4 treatments 3 replications, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and compared mean by Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) at 0.05 level significance. The results showed that the size of designed temperature control incubator was 100x150x80 cm.3 encapsulated with insulation (Polypropylene; PP) to contain heat transfer control. The automatic climate control was installed together with making the holes on the side and a fan for ventilation. Ceramic heat lamps were used as a heat source in the incubator. The test temperature was controlled for chicks nursing ranged with 28±1 30±1 and 32±1 degrees Celsius. It was shown that survival rate was higher than the control temperature at 0.05 level of significance (P<0.05). There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) between the three levels of the temperature. The results from the development of a temperature control incubator by using mixed methods could produce an appropriate temperature control incubator for native chicks’ nursery in each age of nursery and in accordance with niche area.
