The estimation of economic losses due to coccidiosis in broiler chickens in Central Java, Indonesia

Abstract

Coccidiosis is an intestinal parasitic disease caused by Eimeria. The investation of Eimieria can negatively alter poultry health and reduce the productivity of poultry. Decreasing of broiler production can cause economic loss to the farmer and further to the domestic economic. This paper aimed to estimate the economic loss due to coccidiosis in broiler chicken in Central Java Province. The calculation was made based on two parameters: epidemiologic parameter and economic parameter. The data for calculation was based on previous research data and current data. The estimation was calculated using two approaches: direct and indirect method. The direct loss related to the production system cost and extra cost due to coccidiosis cases while indirect loss related to the economic loss in Central Java that could be affected by coccidiosis. The result showed that the direct loss estimation was Rp 3,371,408,383,426,- and indirect loss was Rp 141,430,086,- with a total estimation of economic loss in Central Java due to coccisiosis was Rp 3,371,549,813,512,-. This estimation indicates the importance of coccidiosis control program in poultry industry.

“…The estimated direct loss due to coccidiosis in Central Java was $ 269 million and the indirect loss was Rp 9,6 million, for a total estimated economic loss of $ 278.6. This estimate emphasises the significance of a coccidiosis control programme in the poultry industry [3]. The temperature range for E tenella sporulation was 20°-39 °C, and the relative humidity range was 65%-75% [4].…”

Effect of sex, age, diseases, and control intervention on chickens’ mortality and its financial implications in Dodoma, Tanzania

“…This is in agreement with the study conducted in Bangladesh which revealed that Newcastle disease may cause mortality of up to 100% due to its nature of being a highly contagious viral disease ( Khatun et al, 2018 ). Similarly, in Central Java in Indonesia, it was estimated that, the financial loss due to Coccidiosis was Rp 3,371,549,813,512 which is equivalent to 229, 837,798.56 USD ( Pawestri et al, 2019 ).…”

“…A study done in Morogoro, mentioned diseases as among the challenges that threaten chicken production at the household level ( Ngongolo et al, 2019 ). Major losses in chicken production originate from mortality, feeding, and the cost of disease management and control ( Dalloul and Lillehoj, 2006 ; Pawestri et al, 2020 ; Ngongolo and Chota, 2021 ). However, studies on the contribution and impact of each disease on chicken production and mortality have not yet been conducted.…”

“…18,276.96 ± 2,388.91/- per flock with 1,000 birds ( Farooq et al, 2003 ). Likewise, Coccidiosis in chickens is estimated to cause global financial losses of up to 3 billion USD per annum ( Dalloul and Lillehoj, 2006 ; Pawestri et al, 2020 ). Infestation by the parasite in chickens also increases financial loss.…”

Avian Coccidiosis: Recent Advances in Alternative Control Strategies and Vaccine Development

“…Eimeria spp. penetrate the intestinal cells of the host at different sites damaging the intestinal walls resulting in great economic losses due to poor absorption, reduced weight gain, bloody diarrhea, poor feed conversion ratio, and dehydration (Alzahrani et al 2016, Pawestri et al 2020) Moreover, stress caused by routine viral vaccinations influences the incidence and severity of protozoal diseases, especially Eimeria spp. on non-treated Balady (native breed) chickens (Ramadan et al 2015).…”
