Abstract

Indigenous chicken is a significant source of protein for Indonesians, but it frequently suffers from a range of health issues that impair productivity. Infestation, suboptimal growth, and death are all common issues occurred in indigenous chicken farming. This is due to the traditional care system, as well as a lack of information about health management. The program is intended to provide knowledge and assistance to indigenous chicken farmers in the attempts to enhance indigenous chicken health management. Understanding the basic principles of indigenous chicken health management, identifying common diseases, and effective prevention measures are among the program activities. Furthermore, the program team provides farmers field support in order to assist them in implementing best practices in health management. The result of this program is a better understanding of the necessity of indigenous chicken health management, which will enhance chicken health, reduce mortality, increase egg and meat production, and increase farmers' revenue for sustainable farming.
