Genetic parameters for egg production traits in Alabio and Mojosari ducks were estimated. Egg production data were collected from 530 Alabio and 461 Mojosari ducks. The ducks were 6 th generation of selection program for egg production trait at the BPTU-HPT Pelaihari. Heritability values were estimated using paternal half-sib correlation method in a one-way analysis of variance. The result showed that heritability estimates for body weight at 16 weeks of age were high, in Alabio ducks (0.63±0.242) and in Mojosari duck (0.88±0.269). Heritability for body weight at first egg was 0.55±0.23 in Alabio duck and 0.44±0.222 in Mojosari duck. The heritability estimates for number of eggs from months 1-3 (EN3) and 1-6 (EN6), ranging from 0.30 to 0.46. The heritability for number of eggs from months 1-12 (EN12) was high in Alabio duck (0.62) and moderate in Mojosari duck (0.46). The EN12 had high genetic correlation with EN3 and EN6 (ranging from 0.80 to 0.99). EN12 had a negative genetic correlation with body weight and age at first egg (between -0.81 and -0.21). This finding indicates that EN3 could be used as a selection criteria to increase EN12 in Alabio and Mojosari ducks.
