Abstract

Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) Chicken is a selective range chicken which has a high egg production. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of environmental factors i.e. wind speed, humidity, and temperature on the productivity of chicken eggs Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) layer phase at 45-48 weeks. The research was conducted in October 2020, located in Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology of Nusa Tenggara Timur. The data obtained by measurement and calculation of population data, egg production, and mortality. The result showed that the average of environmental factors in the form of wind speed, humidity, and temperature were 21.40 m/s, 79.50%, and 30oC. The average of egg productivity, body weight, and mortality of KUB chicken in laying phase at 45-48 weeks were 33.56%, 1.684 kg, and 4 chicken/week. All environmental factors together give an effect on productivity of KUB chicken in NTT.
