Descripción
Poultry production and the raising of hobby birds are an integral part of Indonesian society. In cities and villages throughout the archipelago communities raise backyard poultry for both profitand pleasure. The poultry industry is one of the key areas of Indonesia’s agriculture and supports a large domestic market in poultry and poultry products. Highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI) remains a major threat to poultry and communities in Indonesia. Since it was firstdetected in poultry in 20 03, millions of poultry have died due to HPAI or been depopulated during control activities. In addition, the livelihoods of people dependent on the poultry industry have been disrupted. To the end of 2008, AI had infected poultry in 31 out of 33 provinces. The Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture has been in the front line of the response to HPAI and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has worked alongside the Ministry since 2005. The activities undertaken this ye ar have laid a firmfoundation for establishing a comprehensive HPAI prevention and control programme. Improving biosecurity and husbandry and trading practices will contribute to an overall improvement to poultry health and production. This will directly contribute to improved food security, food safety and welfare of the Indonesian people. This 2008 Annual Report for the FAO Avian InfluenzaControl Programme in Indonesia provides an overview of the FAO activities, carried out in collaboration w ith and in support of local governments and Ministry of Agriculture (MoA). Achievements in the four key areas of campaign management, local government surveillance and control activities, local government Information, Education and Communication (IEC) and prevention activities, and research and development are presented. The activities and achievements described in this report were funded by many donors and their contribution and commitment is gratefully acknowledged.
