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 flockssupply poultry meat and eggs to Indonesian consumers, predominantly through around 13,000 traditional markets countrywide. Some 60% of all Indonesian 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 31 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. HPAI presents a major challenge to the country. 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, which has included devolution of the responsibility for controlling animal diseases to more than 450 autonomous districts/municipalities, have all contributed to the persistence of the di sease. 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 InfluenzaControl Programme to sustainably control HPAI in order to help safeguard the health and livelihoods of the Indonesian population and reduce the global pandemic threat. This 2009 Annual Report provides an overview of the FAO activities carried out in collaboration with and in support of the Ministry of Agr iculture and local government livestock services in Indonesia. Achievements in the key areas of enhanced management of the HPAI control programme; improved surveillance, control and prevention of HPAI in village-based poultry, in the commercial poultry industry and along the poultry marketing chain are presented. The activities and achievements described in this report were funded by many donors and their contribution and commitment are gratefully acknowledged.
