<![CDATA[Commercial Peking duck has developed rapidly in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency due to its short rearing period and fast capital turnover, yet the success of this business strongly depends on the accurate use of production factors and cost efficiency. This study aims to analyze the costs, revenue, and profit of the farming business, measure its feasibility, and examine the influence of production factors on the production of commercial Peking ducks. A survey method was applied to 30 farmers selected through simple random sampling in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency. Data were analyzed using farm business analysis (cost, revenue, profit, and Revenue Cost Ratio) and the Cobb-Douglas production function estimated through multiple linear regression based on natural logarithms. The results show that the total production cost was IDR 478,810,000, revenue was IDR 704,480,000, and profit was IDR 225,670,000, with an R/C ratio of 1.46, indicating that the business is economically feasible. The regression model produced a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.91 (Adjusted R² of 0.89) and satisfied the classical assumption tests. The F-test showed that seed, feed, labor, pen area, and medicine-vitamins simultaneously had a significant effect on production (F-count 58.32; sig. 0.000). Partially, all variables were significant, with feed being the most dominant factor (elasticity of 0.47), while labor had a negative effect (elasticity of -0.21), indicating that its use had exceeded the optimal point. The sum of production elasticities of 1.07 indicates that the business operates under increasing returns to scale. This study recommends improving feed-use efficiency and reallocating labor input to further optimize the productivity of commercial Peking duck farming.]]>
