This study aims to determine the effect of five variables characteristic of KUB chicken innovation, including relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability, on farmers’ perceptions in developing KUB chickens. It consists of four farmer groups in Cereme Taba Village, Lubuk Linggau City. The determination of the study...

... dominant type of vegetable selected is cabbage because it is not easily rotten compared to others.. The farmer's perception of the complex variable in maintaining KUB chickens was 72% or had an agreeable category (Table 5). This means that respondents agree that the KUB chicken development technology package requires good management, including equipment and infrastructure, KUB chicken maintenance, biosecurity and disease prevention, and livestock health. ...Citations
... This development program has been successfully carried out on several local chickens, including the Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan chicken (KUB-1). KUB-1 chickens are the result from developing free-range chickens (Gallus-gallus domesticus) from Depok, Cianjur and Majalengka (Masito 2021). The development of free-range chickens (Gallus-gallus domesticus) produces superior characteristics, including, at the age of 20 weeks, male KUB-1 chickens have a body weight of between 1.60-1.80kg ...
This study aims to determine the hatching performance of Kokok Balenggek chicken (KBC) using different males as the formation of superior local meat-type chickens. The study used an experimental method, randomized block design (RBD), with eight treatments and three groups. The treatment was male KBC (G0) and the group was the hatching period. Chickens are mated using Artificial Insemination (AI) with a sex ratio of 1:5. A total of 594 KBC egg were selected. The variables of this study consisted of fertility rate (FR%), embryonic mortality (EM%), hatchability of fertile egg (HRF%), and day-old chick (DOC) viability. Data were analyzed using Minitab version 19. The results of the study showed that individual differences in males had non-significant (P>0.05) effect on FR, EM, HRF and DOC viability. The average FR was (73.38%), EM (30.96%), HRF (69.04%) and DOC viability (90.73%). The macroscopic examination of KBC-G0 semen indicated volume as 0.31±0.11mL, consistency to be thick creamy with a milky white color and pH as 7.35±0.17. The microscopic examination of KBC-G0 semen indicated average ++ mass movement and sperm motility, viability and abnormality of spermatozoa to be 71.25±8.35, 78.34±6.22 and 11.67±2.90%, respectively whereas concentration of spermatozoa was 210.46±43.68 x 10 7 sperm/mL spermatozoa. In conclusion, the eight males KBC have the same and good hatching performance so can be used as males to produce KBC (G1) in the formation of superior local meat type chickens.
... While another parental group, Murung Panggang chicken, originating in South Kalimantan, were primarily dark or black in color, mature at 5 months, and can weigh up to 4 kg (Suryana, 2014;Mustofa et al., 2021). Meanwhile, the selective range chicken known as Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) had a high egg production rate and is often used as dual purposes chicken both for meat and egg (Rubianti et al., 2021;Masito et al., 2022). Those superior traits from the parental lines potentially supported the genetic improvement in the crossbred chickens. ...
The uniformity of live weight in the early stage (DOC) is an indicator applied to evaluate the quality of brooding, raising, and growth management. This study aims to compare the live weight uniformity of DOC in three local breeds as a parental group, namely Merawang A and B (n:196), Murung Panggang (n:157), and KUB (n:416), as well as in five groups of Bulaksumur (BS) for crossbred group, namely BS-1 (n:136), BS-2 (n:76), BS-3 (n:106), BS-5 (n:81), BS-6 (n:164). The live weight data of DOC was obtained in Gunungkidul Regency under similar management. The results show that the BS groups had higher live weight (31.9 g ± 3.1) compared to Merawang A (24 g ± 3.1), Murung Panggang (28.2 g ± 2.3), and KUB (28.1 g ± 2.8). Furthermore, the live weight uniformity on the BS DOC averaged 71% across all groups, with the highest uniformity being BS-3 (87%). Murung Panggang had a higher live weight uniformity (82%) compared to Merawang A and B (42%, 64%) and KUB (63%). The average coefficient variance was less than 10%, except for Merawang A and BS-2 with 13.09% and 11.35%, respectively. In conclusion, the DOC of the crossbred (BS) was more uniform than its parental groups. However, to distinguish the significantly different in the chicken live weight in early stage, further analysis needs to be conducted in the future.
