This study aims to determine the effects of the local duck mating patterns (Tegal and Magelang) on production performance based on feed consumption, feed conversion (FCR), and egg production (DDP). The research used 80 Magelang and Tegal ducks. The research is an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD). The research used 4 treatments and 5 replications. The number of ducks in each cross consisted of 5 (five) males and 15 (fifteen) females. P1 crossed Magelang and Magelang ducks (MM), P2 Magelang Tegal (MT), P3 Tegal Magelang (TM), and P4 Tegal and Tegal (TT) which were given the same feed in the form of concentrate feed. Ducks were kept for 3 months to observe their production performance. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the feed consumption of P1 and P3, but significantly different (P> 0.05) between P2 and P4. The highest egg production was produced by P3 followed by P1, P2, and P4, while the lowest FCR is P2 followed by P4, P3 and the highest was P1 (MM). From the research, it was concluded that the Tegal-Magelang (P3) duck crossbred had the best productivity and the most efficient use of feed compared to other cross treatments.
