Resumen
Descripción
Poultry production, and its associated activities, account for around one percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product and provide the majority of animal protein consumed by 232 million Indonesians. A complex array of poultry enterprises, ranging from intensive commercial enterprises, to small-scale semi-intensive broiler and layer enterprises, to small backyard flcks supply poultry meat and eggs to Indonesian consumers, predominantly through traditional markets countrywide. Some 60% of all Ind onesian households keep poultry for food, additional income, entertainment and ceremonial purposes. Since Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) was detected in Indonesia in 2003, the disease has infected poultry in 32 out of 33 provinces, caused the deaths of millions of poultry, and disrupted the livelihoods of large numbers of people dependent on poultry keeping. Outbreaks continue to be reported regularly on islands with dense human and poultry populations, such as Java and Sumatra, and more sporadically in Sulawesi and Bali. HPAI continues to present a major challenge to poultry production. An annualized poultry population of approximately 1.5 billion, a large culturally and ethnically diverse human population of around 232 million, a preference for purchasing poultry products from live bird markets, and a decentralized governance system, have all contributed to the persistence of the disease. The FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) Indonesia works to enhance the capacity and ability of the Government of Indonesia to implement its Avian Influenza Control Programme to sustainably control HPAI at village level, in the commercial poultry industry and along the market chain in order to help safeguard the health and livelihoods of the Indonesian population and reduce the global pandemic threat. Ths 2010 Annual Report provides an overview of the activities carried out under the ECTAD Programme in collaboration with and in support of the Minis try of Agriculture and local government livestock services in Indonesia. Achievements in the key theme areas of improving poultry health, public private partnerships, capacity building and strengthening veterinary services are presented. The activities and achivements described in this report were funded by many donors and their contributions and commitment are gratefully acknowledged.
