Abstract

Animal health services are one of the important efforts to improve livestock productivity and maintain public veterinary health. The Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of the Animal Health Center (Puskeswan) plays a strategic role in delivering animal health services at the field level. This study aims to describe the implementation of animal health services at the UPT Puskeswan and evaluate the effectiveness of services provided to livestock farmers. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation involving officers and farmers. The results show that animal health services at the UPT Puskeswan include preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative activities, such as vaccination, disease treatment, livestock health checks, and farmer education. The implementation of services has been running quite well; however, there are still several obstacles such as limited infrastructure, a shortage of veterinary medical personnel, and low awareness among farmers regarding the importance of animal health. The conclusion of this study is that animal health services at the UPT Puskeswan play a very important role in supporting livestock health and productivity, but improvements are needed through strengthening human resources, facilities, and education for the farming community.
