Abstract

Duck farming was known and passed down from generation to generation, developed by farmers, on the coast of Lake Tondano, but until now it was still developed traditionally. This condition also applies to duck farmers in various regions in Indonesia. This was because the quality and the availability of breeds were still low so many farmers dis-continued their business. The issue was determining to what extent traditional duck farming could increase profits. The purpose of this study was to analyze the duck farming business developed traditionally in supporting the integration system with rice plants (IRDF). The research method used was a survey with a location on the coast of Lake Tondano. The number of respondents was 40 farmers who developed local ducks in rice fields. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis. The results showed that the duck population in the districts located on the coast of Lake Tondano consisted of Remboken District 25.24% (8,177 heads), South Tondano 20.06% (6,525 heads), West Kakas 13.25% (4,311 heads), East Langowan 13.15% (4,277 heads), and West Tondano 28.40% (9,240 heads). The area of rice fields was 11.54%, (323 ha), 16.32% (457 ha), 23.71% (664 ha), 23.68% (663 ha) and 24.75% (693 ha) respectively. The conclusion was that the duck farming business developed traditionally had the potential to support profits in a system integrated with rice (IRDF).
