RISIKO PRODUKSI AYAM BROILER DAN PREFERENSI PETERNAK DI KABUPATEN BEKASI
Abstract: Broiler farms are
dealing with many risks, especially the risk of production due to the
mortality. This study aimed to: 1) analyze the factors that affect the
production of broiler chickens, 2) analyze the risks faced by broiler farmers,
and 3) analyze the risk preferences of production. This study used two business
patterns of broiler chicken farms, i.e. cooperation/partnership and
independent. This study was conducted in Bekasi, a research area which was
intentionally chosen in a consideration that the area hasg a positive
population trend. There were 74 breeders involved in this study. The analysis
was conducted by using Just Pope function model and utility maximization. The
results suggest that the factors affecting broiler production include feeds and
husks for the independent farmers. Feeds, vaccines and density are influential
variables for production by the cooperative farmers. The variables that
increase the production risks in the independent farmers include vaccines,
labor, and husk, while the variable affecting the cooperative farmers is labor.
The variable that can minimize risks for the independent farmers is feeds,
while for the cooperative farmers, the variable is vaccine. The risk preference
of the independent farmers on the overall input usage is the risk averse or a
tendency to avoid risk. Broiler chicken farms require a counseling to improve
their quality of human resources, accurate schedule of vaccine applications,
and attention to husk condition in order to reduce risks.
