Abstract: This study aims to design aids for layer chicken feeders in an ergonomic traditional coop using Kano-ergonomic function deployment (EFD). The integration of Kano model and EFD was used to identify design attributes that affect customer satisfaction and to translate customer requirements into technical requirements that are used to determine the priorities for the design of layer chicken feeder aids. The findings of this study are layer chicken feeder aids that are used with pushing movement to overcome musculoskeletal complaints, speed up work time, and reduce feed wastage. This design product is useful to facilitate the feeding of layer chicken as it can reduce musculoskeletal complaints, speed up work time, and reduce feed wastage so that work productivity can increase. In addition, the design of the resulting aids can be used as a reference by chicken layer livestock entrepreneurs to increase the productivity of their companies and especially their workers.

Keywords: livestock feeder aids; ergonomic function deployment; EFD; house of ergonomic; HOE; Kano model; musculoskeletal complaints.
