Abstract

Kelompok Tani Sehati dan Kelompok Tani Syalom adalah dua dari kelompok tani ternak yang ada di Kelurahan Tuatuka, dengan berfokus pada usaha ternak babi dan sapi sebagai sumber mata pencaharian, selain bertani mengolah sawah. Selama menjadi kelompok tani ternak binaan Jurusan Peternakan Politani Kupang, usaha ternak babi dengan sistem pro-mitra yang dikembangkan berjalan dengan baik dan menguntungkan bagi peternak. Masuknya wabah penyakit demam babi Afrika (African swine fever/ASF) di Pulau Timor sejak akhir Tahun 2019 menjadi masalah besar bagi peternak babi. Penularan penyakit ini semakin meluas dan banyak ternak babi yang ditemukan mati dalam waktu singkat. Kerugian ekonomi akibat kematian ternak babi sudah tentu menjadi masalah utama bagi petani ternak, termasuk dalam Kelompok Tani Sehati dan Kelompok Tani Syalom. Ternak babi yang biasanya dijadikan tabungan untuk kebutuhan keluarga menjadi hilang seketika. Kondisi ini terus diperparah dengan adanya pandemi Covid-19, yang semakin menyulitkan perkonomian peternak. Kehadiran Program Studi Kesehatan Hewan Politani Negeri Kupang dalam memberikan sedikit kepedulian berupa pembagian bingkisan sembako bagi kedua kelompok ini dirasakan sangat bermanfaat.  Selain itu, kegiatan penyuluhan peternakan dan kesehatan hewan serta pendampingan yang diberikan juga menjadi penyemangat tersendiri bagi kedua kelompok ini untuk terus melanjutkan usaha peternakan selain ternak babi sebagai peluang usaha baru dan menghasilkan, walaupun masih dalam suasana pandemi Covid-19.Kata Kunci : African Swine Fever, Babi, Pandemi Covid-19, Peternak.

Abstract

Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is a serious and highly infectious viral disease of both domestic pigs and wild boar. The disease was classified as a pestivirus within the family Flaviviridae that forms a group of economically important pathogens. This disease has become endemic in some districts in Nusa Tenggara Timur. However, it gained entry into the district of Sikka in 2016. This disease was suspected to gain entry into Sikka by the movements of pigs (pig trading). However, it was not certain how this disease introduced and transmitted into the region. This research was aimed to identify and analyze the movement of pigs through the trade chain as a pathway to spread the disease within farms in the district of Sikka. A total of 57 respondents were interviewed in this study involved sellers and buyers in the markets (4 buyers and 4 sellers in each market-a total of 32 people), suppliers of pigs (10 people), and pig farmers as many as 5 respondents per village (3 villages selected purposively). A face-to-face interview was conducted to obtain information from the respondents. The results of the study found that market sellers and buyers are actively moving through the market network, and therefore could potentially contribute to the spread of CSF in Sikka, if an outbreak occurred in the region. The in and out-degree values in the current study suggest that pigs were moving in and out of the areas through the movement of sellers and buyers. This study also found that Node S5 plays a key role in transmitting information to all other nodes in the network of pigs in Sikka. This study also found that there was potential movement of pigs in different villages in Sikka through the directed links or ties, which could contribute to the transmission and spread of CSF.

Abstract

Objective: The Sandalwood Horse has economic, social, and cultural advantages to the local community in Southwest Sumba Regency. However, sandalwood horse development is experiencing obstacles due to the absence of base area mapping data. This research aims to identify the potential area for the development of the Sandalwood horse in Southwest Sumba Regency.Methods: Descriptive quantitative method was used in this research. Time series data (2013-2018) was collected from related stakeholders in Southwest Sumba Regency. The Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) and a combination of both LQ and DLQ analysis were applied to identify the potential area for the development of the Sandalwood horse. If the value of LQ and DLQ is more than 1, it means that the area/district could be recommended as a potential area for the development of the Sandalwood horse.Results: The result shows that of the 11 (eleven) districts in Southwest Sumba Regency, only 5 (five) districts (Wewewa Utara, Wewewa Barat, Wewewa Selatan, Wewewa Tengah, and Kodi Bangedo) could be recommended as the potential areas for development of sandalwood horses in the future, with an average LQ value ranging from 1.01 to 1.85 and DLQ ranging from 1.27 to 78.27.Conclusions: Southwest Sumba Regency has potential districts for the development of the Sandalwood horse. The sandalwood horse in the potential districts is a leading commodity that can fulfil the local needs of each sub-district and has a population growth above the average level in Southwest Sumba Regency.

Abstract

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a disease in pigs of all ages caused by a virus from the Asfar virus family, and the virus is classified as an economically important pathogen group. This disease has caused the death of pigs in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province including Kupang Regency. The spread of ASF disease can occur when the animal health management is poor. Little was known about the health management of pigs in the district of Kupang. Therefore, this study was aimed to identify factors of health management which potentially affect the spread of ASF in the district of Kupang. This research was conducted in two selected sub-districts in Kupang Regency, namely East Kupang District and Amabi Oefeto District. The selection of these sub-districts was based on the results of discussions with the Head of the Livestock Service Office of Kupang Regency, where these two sub-districts became centers of pig production. The results showed that the health management of pigs in the selected sub-districts of Kupang Regency was still very poor among vehicle and people traffic control, disease control, livestock waste, sanitation and disinfection, pest control, pig traffic, pig marketing, health status and ASF, disposal system pig carcasses, and contact between pigs.

Abstract

This study evaluated the husbandry and management practices adopted by the pig farmers and the potential of African Swine Fever (ASF) in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Husbandry and management practices evaluated include educational background, main occupation, livestock pens, animal feed and drinking water systems, reproductive management, and pig body condition. Data were collected from 300 pig farmers using interviews and questionnaires. This study was conducted in the districts of Kupang Timor and Amabi Oefeto from June to October 2022. This study reported several factors that could potentially affect the ASF transmission. These practices can be improved to prevent the potential of ASF transmission. The educational background of pig farmers, primary occupation, caging management, swill feeding, and reproductive management may have potentially contributed to the ASF transmission in Kupang during the outbreak period.

Abstract

This study evaluated the epidemiology and economic impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) at the household farmer (HF) level in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, Indonesia. The economic and epidemiological data were obtained from interview with 97 farmers across seven districts. The prevalence of ASF at farmer level was calculated based on the number of HF experienced ASF outbreak in certain year divided by total HF interviewed. The total economic losses due to ASF outbreak were calculated based on the economic value of pig, cleaning and disinfection of stalls, stall depreciation, leftover feed, and reduced value of pigs. Approximately 90% of the respondents reported pig mortalities associated with ASF during the initial outbreaks in 2020-2021. The total economic losses due to ASF outbreak were estimated to be IDR 1,4 billion, averaging IDR 14,5 (percentile 5th;95th: 5,1;27,8) million per household farmer per year, with losses dominated by pig mortality (92%). Losses varied by districts, with the highest in East Sumba (17,9 million per HF) and the lowest in Rote Ndao (11,5 million per HF). These findings demonstrate that ASF outbreak is financially loss for smallholder pig farmers and can significantly reduced their income. Optimizing biosecurity implementation at household farm level could be financially beneficial for smallholder pig farmers and can significantly mitigate ASF-related economic losses in NTT.
