Native Chicken Production in Indonesia: A Review
Abstract: Indonesia is a
country rich in native chicken genetic resources. There are 31 native chicken
breed in Indonesia. Native chicken
farming was developed for decades. In early period of 1907’s, mostly farmers
reared their native chicken by traditional system (about 80%). In 1980s until
now, the number of native chicken farmers which rear native chicken by semi
intensive and intensive system have been increasing. These rearing system
changing have significantly increased the native chicken productivity. The
major constraints for the development of native chicken i.e. low growth rate,
risks of high mortality, low egg production. Many research results stated that
improving in breeding, feeding and management aspect will increase native
chicken production. The information and data contained in this paper is the
result of study literature for scientific papers, either in the form of journals,
books, or proceedings, and livestock statistics books. This paper is made to
support the development of native chickens in Indonesia.
