Developing a clean market chain for poultry products in Indonesia

Abstract

Biosecurity on smallholder poultry farms in Indonesia is becoming increasingly important to the Indonesian poultry industry. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI- H5N1) and other poultry diseases continue to reduce poultry farm productivity, cause human mortalities and reduce consumer confidence in poultry products. Since HPAI was first diagnosed in Indonesia in 2004 (FAO 2004), it has become endemic in 31 of the 33 provinces and been responsible for 146 human fatalities (FAO 2012), the most recent in Bali in 2012.
