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 aimed to study the blood plasma minerals of  thin-tailed weaning ram prior to administration of Sargassum sp. as a source of minerals. Research materials and methods. The use of Sargassum sp. seaweed flour. sun-drying on 16 weaned thin tailed rams, aged 5-6 months with a bodyweight of ±11.8 kg for 3 months, using a 4x4 completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments, namely T1 = forage + concentrate + 0% minerals of concentrate, T2 = Forage + concentrate + cow booster minerals 0.38% of concentrate, T3 = forage + concentrate + Sargassum sp.5% of concentrate, T4 = forage + concentrate + Sargassum sp.10% of concentrate. The observed research variables were the consumption of macro minerals (Ca, Mg, K, and Na and micro minerals Cu, Fe, and Zn) and  balance of macro minerals Ca, Mg, K. and Na and micro minerals (Cu, Fe, and Zn blood plasma before and after treatment with seaweed Sargassum sp. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on mineral Ca consumption, Mg, K, Na, Cu, Fe, and Zn. Blood plasma minerals before treatment did not differ on Mg, Na, Cu, Fe, Zn, but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on Ca and K. The treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on minerals Mg, Cu, and Fe in blood plasma, but did not affect Ca, K, Na, Zn. Based on the results obtained, the use of Sargassum sp. 10% of the total concentrate with sun drying can increase the consumption of macro and micro minerals as well as increase the minerals Mg, Cu, and Fe in the blood plasma of weaning rams.

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.
