Abstract

Biosecurity is a fundamental protection system in poultry farming to prevent the entry and spread of diseases. This study evaluated biosecurity implementation and its role in mitigating disease risks in layer chicken farms in Babahan Village, Tabanan Regency, Bali. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires and interviews with all 33 layer farmers in the village (total sampling) and analyzed via the Guttman scale. Results revealed that farmers' biosecurity knowledge was moderately adequate (66.08% affirmative responses). Implementation varied by measure: sanitation (68.5%) and traffic control (63.62%) were moderately practiced, while isolation protocols were poorly adopted (32.74%). Effective biosecurity correlated with reduced disease transmission and sustained productivity. Key influencing factors included farmers' knowledge, farm scale, infrastructure, government support, and operational habits. The study recommends enhanced biosecurity training, provision of isolation facilities and personal protective equipment (PPE), and targeted government support for small-scale farms to improve compliance.

Abstract

Subclinical mastitis in sows (Sus scrofa) poses significant risks to pig health and breeding efficiency, particularly in Gianyar Regency, Bali. Early detection using the California Mastitis Test (CMT), followed by microbiological confirmation, is critical for effective management. This study aimed to evaluate subclinical mastitis in lactating sows using CMT and identify causative pathogens through laboratory tests. Milk samples from 30 lactating sows were analyzed. CMT-positive samples were cultured on selective media: Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) for Staphylococcus aureus, Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate (XLD) for Salmonella, and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMBA) for Escherichia coli. CMT detected subclinical mastitis in 21 sows (70%). Microbiological tests identified S. aureus (7 samples), Salmonella (2 samples), and E. coli (12 samples). CMT is an effective field tool for early mastitis detection. The high prevalence of pathogens, particularly E. coli, underscores the need for improved hygiene and targeted therapies in pig breeding environments.

Abstract

Animal welfare has emerged as a fundamental pillar in the transformation of modern sustainable livestock farming. This study analyses the position of animal welfare as a strategic investment for enhancing product quality and optimizing operational efficiency in animal production. Through a systematic literature review of recent scientific publications, this research reveals that the implementation of animal welfare principles significantly reduces the incidence of PSE and DFD meat, decreases dependence on antibiotics, and improves both product quality and market competitiveness. Furthermore, animal welfare certification demonstrates proven efficacy in creating product added value and facilitating access to global markets. The study concludes that the integration of animal welfare represents an essential strategy toward sustainable livestock production. Therefore, integrated policies supporting animal welfare implementation through incentive schemes and certification program reinforcement are recommended.
