Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of training in reducing processing defects (cutting errors) in poultry production. The research was conducted in Samarinda City, Indonesia (Districts of North Samarinda, South Samarinda, Samarinda Kota, Samarinda Ulu, and Sungai Pinang) from October to November 2024. A quantitative survey design was used. The sample consisted of 50 slaughter workers selected through purposive sampling, with the criteria requiring active employment and a minimum of one year of slaughtering experience. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with three sections (demographics, slaughter technique comprehension/skills, and a standardized operational observation protocol) to evaluate the completeness of severance of the trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels in the neck region. Statistical analyses included independent samples t-tests, correlations, and regression modeling. The t-test results indicate a statistically significant disparity in the miss-cut rates between trained and untrained workers (t = 13.198, p < 0.05, critical t = 2.0106), demonstrating that training significantly improves cutting accuracy. Regression analysis revealed that the model accounted for 45.6% of the variance in miss-cut occurrences (R2 = 0.456). Notably, training emerged as the sole significant predictor, with a negative coefficient (β = -0.4201, p < 0.05), suggesting that it directly reduces errors. In contrast, variables such as work experience had no statistically significant influence. These findings underscore the critical role of targeted training programs in mitigating processing defects and provide actionable insights for quality control in poultry processing operations.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the knowledge and practical skills of international students regarding livestock biosecurity and injection techniques in small-scale beef cattle farming systems. The activities were conducted through workshops, hands-on practical sessions, and group discussions as part of a structured summer school program. A questionnaire was used as an evaluation instrument to assess participants’ knowledge, perceptions, and confidence levels. The program involved 11 international students from diverse backgrounds who participated in field-based learning activities at a livestock training facility in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The results showed that 64% of participants had prior awareness of biosecurity, and all participants (100%) recognized its importance in preventing disease outbreaks. However, only 27% reported confidence in explaining injection techniques, indicating the need for more intensive practical training. In addition, 91% of participants perceived that small-scale farmers lacked adequate knowledge of biosecurity, suggesting a substantial gap in field-level awareness. The main challenges identified were limited knowledge (45%) and financial constraints (36%). Overall, the program contributed to improving participants’ understanding and awareness while highlighting the strategic role of international students as agents of education in promoting biosecurity practices within local farming communities.
