In Indonesia, there are various serious efforts have been conducted by the government to fight against the poverty until recently. One of the leading projects recommended by the Indonesian Agricultural Development Research Agency was the assisted KUB chicken farming packages that has been carried out through the 2018-2019 BEKERJA Program. The KUB chicken was recommended because it has various advantages such as being able to be harvested at the age of 70 days and high egg production (180 eggs/year). Meanwhile, to assess the effectiveness of the program, especially in behavior and perceptions of poor households (participant of the program) involved towards farming of KUB chicken, an in-depth study was conducted in two sub-districts in Central Lombok district. There are 200 respondents randomly selected from 20 villages. The required data was gathered with structured questionnaire. It uses 13 indicators of KUB chicken farming technology as an instrument. Furthermore, the data, then analyzed using of descriptive analysis, regression and t-test with SPSS software. The result shows that gender, age, education and experience of respondents did not have a significant effect (P> 0.05) on their perception about KUB chicken farming technology. In contrary, the knowledge that taught through technical assistance has significant impact (P<0.05) on it. Amongst 13 components of technology that has disseminated and known by respondents, 38% of it has been applied. Moreover, the total score of respondent’s perception on farming of KUB chicken was 3.57. It means that the poor household involved in the program has accepted the technology for farming of KUB chicken that has been disseminated.
