This study aimed to determine the effect of alfalfa fresh or hay supplementation in the diets on the meat quality of hybrid duck. 75 hybrid ducks with 3 treatments and 5 replications were used in this study. Each replication consisted of 5 ducks. The diets were used in the trial consisted of P0 = Basal diets without alfalfa supplementation, P1 = Basal diets + 6% fresh alfalfa supplementation and P2 = Basal diets + 6% alfalfa hay supplementation. Either fresh or hay alfalfa was computed based on dry matter. Drinking water was given in ad libitum. Parameters observed were live weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, and income. This study was designed with Completely Randomized Design. Data collected were analyzed (Anova) with Statistical Product for Service Solution version 22. Duncan’s new Multiple Range Test was used in the analysis with significant results. Supplementation of 6% fresh and hay alfalfa did not increase live weight, carcass weight and carcass percentage of hybrid duck until the age of 35 days. However, supplementation of alfalfa (fresh or hay) can reduce the feed cost, thus giving impact to income. The highest income was earned from the duck with 6% alfalfa hay supplementation followed by 6% alfalfa fresh and control. It is recommended to sell the live weight of 35 days harvested duck instead of the carcass to raise the income.
