Abstract
Duck farming was known and passed down from generation to generation, developed by farmers, on the coast of Lake Tondano, but until now it was still developed traditionally. This was because the quality of breeds and the availability of breeds were still low so that many farmers do not continue their business. The problem was to what extent the duck farming business developed traditionally can increase profits. The purpose of this study was to analyze the duck farming business developed traditionally in supporting the integration system with rice plants (INTIP). The research method used was a survey with a location on the coast of Lake Tondano. The number of respondents was 40 farmers who developed local duck in rice fields. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis. The results showed that the duck population in the districts located on the coast of Lake Tondano consisted of Remboken District 25.24%, South Tondano 20.06%, West Kakas 13.25%, Langowan 13.15, and West Tondano 28.40%. The area of rice fields was 11.54%, 16.32%, 23.71%, 23.68% and 24.75% respectively. The conclusion was that the duck farming business developed traditionally had the potential to support profits in a system integrated with rice (INTIP).
