Abstract
Duck farms in Indonesia are generally managed as semi-intensive farming systems and Mojokerto district has one of the largest duck populations in Indonesia producing the Mojosari duck. Biosecurity and farm management are key areas for training duck farmers to prevent diseases, especially highly pathogenic avian infl uenza (HPAI), and to increase farm productivity. A survey to assess biosecurity and farm management was conducted in 2017 in eight Mojokerto sub-districts with 300 respondents having a minimum of 300 ducks per farm. The assessment focused on six parameters: existence of ponds, drainage and waste water disposal system; distance from farm to traditional market, water source and rice paddy fi eld; operational biosecurity on farm; duck movement management; management of sick ducks; and quality of farm inputs. The assessment tool graded each farm on a 0-100% scale. Sero-sampling was performed in day-old-ducks, laying and meat ducks to determine antibody titers against HPAI. The total population of surveyed farms was 200.000 ducks. Seventy-fi ve per cent of farms were layer or traditional breeding farms and 25% were meat duck farms. The average farm population was 688 ducks. Average results of the six main parameters were as follows: 68% of duck farms have a pool with good drainage and waste disposal system; 65% of farms are a long distance from wet market, water source and paddy fi eld; 49% of farms have good operational biosecurity; 57% of farms had good duck movement management; 56% of farms had a program to manage sick ducks, and 45% of farms used good quality farm inputs. Sero-sampling results showed that 18% of sampled ducks had protective titers against HPAI. The average farm assessment score was 56% indicating that biosecurity and farm management of Mojokerto smallscale duck farms is poor and further farmer training and technical assistance is needed, including an appropriate vaccination program.
