<![CDATA[Ducks are waterfowl widely kept in Java, and hatchery enterprises supply day old ducks (DOD) to farmers. This review aimed to examine the opportunity for duck hatchery enterprises in Sumpiuh District, Banyumas Regency, based on verifiable 2008–2018 literature, regional secondary data, and a business analysis framework. Sumpiuh has a population of 58.091 on 60,01 km² with a density of 968 people/km², while the duck population of Banyumas Regency was recorded at 155.470 head in 2021, up 3,00% from 2020. The review shows that egg weight affects DOD hatch weight but not fertility and hatchability in local ducks (351 eggs), that high temperature and low humidity during incubation reduced hatchability in Cihateup and Alabio ducks, and that incubator temperature regulation patterns have been studied for their effect on embryo mortality and hatchability. One comparison study outside the review period in Jember Regency reported a 1,000-egg duck hatchery with an R/C ratio of 1.02. Data on DOD demand, number of duck farmers, and costs in Sumpiuh are not yet available and need to be collected through a survey.]]>
