“…Therefore it is possible that salient diseases and experiences may drive current understanding and interpretation of terms such as biosecurity. It has been shown that FMD risks from indirect contacts can be greater than the risk from direct contacts [45], so perhaps producers in the study area were aware of this. Prevention of indirect contacts may be easier to undertake and less expensive than prevention of direct contacts (e.g.…”

BackgroundThe limited use of biosecurity practices by many in the farming community is likely to be due to a range of factors; further understanding of this issue is required. In this study, attitudes and behaviours of producers relating to selected biosecurity practices and the farming industry were studied by interviewing cattle farmers within a 100 km2 study area in north-west England using an interview-based questionnaire.ResultsMost producers appeared to be familiar with the broad concept of the term biosecurity, although risks due to indirect contacts, rather than direct (animal) contacts, were more frequently highlighted. Most producers felt the nominated biosecurity practices were in some way useful, however there was not always agreement between the usefulness of a practice and it being undertaken, and vice versa. In agreement with other studies conducted in the UK, farmers most preferred to obtain information and advice on biosecurity from private veterinarians, but also highlighted DEFRA as a source.ConclusionsThis study highlights the importance of understanding the motivators and barriers behind the uptake of biosecurity practices on farms, as perceptions are variable. Further understanding of these issues is needed in order to more effectively communicate information in regards to herd health and disease prevention. By identifying differences in producers’ attitudes, programs can be tailored specifically to individuals’ needs.

“…For example, achieving disease-free status as quickly as possible or minimizing spatial spread can rarely be accomplished using conservative strategies (13,17). Also at issue is the unresolved argument about the extent to which blanket recommendations for control should be modulated by local veterinary knowledge (10,12). From a simply technical point of view, our model could be criticized on two counts.…”

Ongoing Estimation of the Epidemic Parameters of a Stochastic, Spatial, Discrete-Time Model for a 1983–84 Avian Influenza Epidemic

et al. 2011

SUMMARY We formulate a stochastic, spatial, discrete-time model of viral “Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered” animal epidemics and apply it to an avian influenza epidemic in Pennsylvania in 1983–84. Using weekly data for the number of newly infectious cases collected during the epidemic, we find estimates for the latent period of the virus and the values of two parameters within the transmission kernel of the model. These data are then jackknifed on a progressive weekly basis to show how our estimates can be applied to an ongoing epidemic to generate continually improving values of certain epidemic parameters.

“…Fakta ini lebih besar dari perkiraan para petugas lapangan dari pihak pemerintah yang hanya memperkirakan 3 hingga 4 yang mampu dilaksanakan. Hal ini sangat tidak efektif jika dibandingkan dengan pendapat Honhold et al (2004) yang menyatakan bahwa sebuah program pengendalian penyakit ternak akan efektif mencapai tingkat keberhasilan jika 99,99% program terlaksana dengan baik. Fakta lain dari Sumiarto et al (2006) menyatakan bahwa efektivitas pelaksanaan kebijakan strategi pengendalian flu burung oleh Dinas Peternakan di Jawa mencapai 88,9%, lebih lanjut juga diungkapkan bahwa hal ini belum efektif karena belum mencapai 99,99%.…”

INTISARIWabah flu burung (AI) merebak di Indonesia mulai tahun 2004. Departemen Pertanian telah menerbitkan kebijakan mengenai program pengendalian AI. Program tersebut adalah sembilan (9) langkah pengendalian AI, program ini terdiri dari 9 langkah untuk melindungi peternak dari bahaya wabah AI. Tahun 2007, AI masih terjadi dan peternak mengalami kerugian hingga 33 milyar pada bulan Januari hingga April. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah mengetahui implementasi kebijakan strategi pencegahan flu burung dan efektivitas kebijakan dalam rangka mencegah penyebaran flu burung di tingkat peternak. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan survei pada responden sampel yang diambil secara purposif. Berdasarkan pada analysis maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa: pertama, pelaksanaan kebijakan pengendalian AI ini perlu adanya pembenahan dari pihak-pihak yang terkait. Kedua, program pengendalian ini tidak efektif karena implementasinya hanya mencapai 45,22% dari seluruh langkah yang telah ditetapkan.(Kata kunci: Flu burung, Pelaksanaan kebijakan, Efektivitas) ABSTRACT Indonesia encountered Avian Influenza (AI) outbreaks in 2004. Ministry of Agriculture had issued a policy as a program to control AI. It was defined as 9 (nine) steps of AI controlling strategy because there were 9 (nine) items to protect farmer from damaged. But, in 2007, AI was still happened and farmer lost their investment up to 33 billion from
