Synopsis (short abstract) The Indonesian poultry industry is a key sector for the national economy, supplying 65% of all animal protein and employing 10% of the national labor force. All over the country, though local production successfully copes with domestic demand, the potential for growth is high, consistent with expectations of rising GDP per capita. The market looks healthy and attractive, which has resulted in this gradual entry of new foreign groups. In past decades, the production process has evolved and modernized. However, bird flu still continues to be an endemic disease which is a barrier to the poultry industry development in Indonesia, especially the opportunities to export poultry products to other countries. Implementation of 3-zone biosecurity in poultry farms is one of the key recommendations from the Government of Indonesia in overcoming bird flu, but this is a need to encourage our commercial poultry farmers to maximally applied properly.
