Abstract

This research aimed to compare the characteristics of free-range eggs consumers, to analyse their buying decision process and consumer satisfaction level, and to formulate the implication on free-range marketing mix across wholesalers and retailers in Purworejo districts. The research sample was 32 respondents, consisted of 16 wholesalers and 16 retailers selected with purposive sampling because of the limited number of respondents in each sub-district. The consumers were selected through snowball sampling from one respondent to another. The parameters included the general characteristics, the decision to buy free-range eggs, consumers’ satisfaction level, and marketing mix implications. The Data were analysed descriptively using Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), and Importance and Performance Analysis (IPA). The result found different characteristics across consumers of free-range eggs in both wholesalers and retailers regarding age group, marital status, education background, gender, occupation, and geographic locations. The different process of buying decision making was due to need identification. Regarding gathering information, the wholesaler consumers relied on electronic media and their neighbours, whereas the retailer consumers only from their neighbours. The main consideration to purchase free-range eggs among wholesaler consumers was the cleanliness of eggs, whereas the retailer consumers were the cleanliness and price of eggs. The consumer satisfaction index on consumers in wholesalers and retailers was 65.16 and 68.82, respectively, indicative of the satisfied category. The marketing mix implication on both sellers was improving the cleanliness of free-range eggs and the market area, matching selling price with the market price, controlling the quality of free-range eggs from the suppliers, and revisiting the supply system to ensure the real-time availability of free-range eggs.

Abstract: Male laying hens can be used as broiler chickens. To reduce feed costs, it is necessary to find alternative feed that has a high protein content, namely water hyacinth. Water hyacinth has high crude fiber so it needs to be fermented. The purpose of this study was to determine the supplementation of fermented water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipe) feed on the productivity of male laying hens. The materials used were 75 male laying hens. This study used a completely randomized design with 5 treatments, namely: Po without the addition of water hyacinth, P10 with the addition of 10% water hyacinth, P20 with the addition of 20% water hyacinth, P30 with the addition of 30% water hyacinth, and P40 with the addition of 40% water hyacinth. All treatments were repeated 5 times. The parameters of male laying hen productivity include feed consumption, body weight gain, live weight, carcass weight, non-carcass weight, and internal organ weight of the chicken. The results of the study were that feed consumption decreased along with the addition of fermented water hyacinth and the longer the maintenance, feed consumption increased. The addition of water hyacinth cultivation did not affect weight gain and had a significant effect on the maintenance period. The addition of water hyacinth fermentation did not affect carcasses, non-carcasses, and some internal organs of chickens. The conclusion is that fermented water hyacinth can be added as feed for laying hens.Abstrak: Ayam petelur jantan dapat digunakan sebagai ayam broiler.
