Feed costs are the largest component of duck farming and often pose a major constraint on the
sustainability of small-scale farmers. This community service program aimed to apply appropriate
technology, in the form of a green vegetable-chopping machine, to improve the efficiency of duck
farming businesses. The partner was a household-scale laying duck farmer with approximately 300
ducks who partially substituted commercial feed with discarded green vegetables from traditional
markets. The main problems were low feed intake efficiency due to whole-vegetable feeding and the
absence of chopping equipment. The implementation methods included field surveys and situation
analysis, machine design and fabrication, operational testing, training in operations and
maintenance, and impact evaluation. The results showed that the vegetable chopping machine with
A capacity of approximately 100 kg/hour and a 1 HP electric motor significantly improved the utilization of green feed. The application reduced commercial feed costs by about 25% and
increased daily egg production by around 4–5%. This activity demonstrates that simple, affordable,
and context-appropriate technology can effectively enhance business efficiency and economic
resilience of small-scale duck farmers.
