Abstract
The program aims to increase the community interest to local genetic wealth of Burgo
chicken. The long term goal of this training is to make the village Sumber Rejo as centers
of production, marketing and research activities of Burgo chicken. The method used in this
service activity is a demonstration plot. The group is the group members who have been
provided the knowledge and skills regarding the operation of the hatching machine. In the
aspect of feed, farmers are given knowledge about the type of food, kathuk leaf supplement
and ration formulation and feed mixing practices. This method is applied to support the
acceleration of population growth of Burgo chicken. Extension and practice of using
hatching machine, as well as kathuk leaf extract supplementation, also introduce to target
farmer groups as a holistic effort in increasing Burgo chicken population. The
implementation of this activity shows some facts that (1) Burgo chicken is relatively hard
to find and can be sold at high prices. (2) During the culture treatment of feed that has
been tested in previous studies, the production of eggs produced relatively high at an
average of 48 eggs per head per egg-laying period, with low egg weight at an average of
35 grams per egg. (3) Power of hatching eggs based on observations is still in the good
range at 41 %. (4) The DOC mortality rate reaches 50 %. Egg production data shows
good potential. It can be seen from the total eggs produced within three months of culture
(48 eggs) from five Burgo hens. High mortality and unmaximally hatchability will be
increased along with the increasing skill in the culture farming and operation of the
hatching machine.
