Broilers are one of the growing livestock commodities; however, broiler farming is a high-risk business. Researchers have conducted a risk analysis related to broiler farming, but there has been no research on the specific analysis of day-old chicken (DOC) production. DOC matters in mitigating the risk of broiler cultivation. This study aims to identify risks in the DOC hatchery unit and provide risk mitigation recommendations. This study uses the Z score method to determine the type of failure and value at risk for risk mapping. The results got seven production risks, namely infertile (59.52%), unhatched (22.39%), crack egg (4.90%), miss egg (4.43%), explode (4.20%), cull chick (3.17%), and damaged egg (1.39%). A review of DOC business processes in the hatchery unit shows that the risk mostly comes from external to the hatchery unit (66%). Mapping risk using value at risk results in two risks with high impact and high probability - infertile and unhatched egg. The infertile risk control recommendations are implementing SOP at the farm, checking temperature, and ensuring regular egg rotation. The risk of unhatched eggs is controlled by ensuring workers work carefully in the egg transfer process and use tools to avoid collisions.
