In 2019, the contribution of the agricultural sector to GDP is 14.10% while the national poultry population (broilers) is 87% with a growth of 7% per year. Thus, it can be interpreted that the poultry industry is experiencing an increase eventhough the agricultural sector is under pressure. There is a shift in consumption patterns of livestock products in the community, especially chicken and egg products.

The poultry industry, especially broiler chickens, will continue to grow to meet the community needs of the animal protein, along with the increasing incomes, population growth, and public awareness related to the nutritional and health value of chicken meat. Economic dynamics and animal diseases have implications for the importance of using technology for the cultivation process, in order to produce products that are more efficient, productive and of high quality. read more
