The result of reggression analysis showed that, altogether the dependent variables had effect to economic incentive with each coefficient of reggression were hatchability (0.770), number of productive hen (0.63), each cost (0.601) and number of egg hutched (0.560) with P<0.05 and P<0.01. The only variable that decresed economic incentive was mortality (-0.113).
