“…These variables contributed 20.00% variation on biosecurity adoption of laying hen farms. However, only farm income, family size and social capital were the major factors influencing to the adoption of biosecurity (P < 0.05) (Lestari et al, 2012). Barru regency was famous as a beef cattle breeding village in South Sulawesi province.…”

The aim of this study was to know biosecurity adoption on beef cattle farms. This research was conducted for a month at Barru regency, South Sulawesi province, which famous as one of beef cattle breeding villages in Indonesia. Sample was choosed through random sampling. Total sampel was 30 beef cattle farmers. Data were collected through observation and interview. Biosecurity measures consisted of 35 indicators which was grouped into 4 namely: management practice, sanitation, disease and disease prevention, and calf management. Each indicator was devided into two groups: adopt and not adopt. Data were analysed descriptively. The results revealed that 47.4% of beef cattle farmers have adopted biosecurity on their farms and was catagorized as a "partial adopter". This percentage should be increased in order to increase meat production and food safety.

“…The results of this research in opposite that of [6], who observed that farmer's age, gender, amount of training, and herd size did not have an effect on the extent of biosecurity on pig farms. Reference [7] argued that farm earnings, the predominant aspects affecting the implementation of biosecurity on laying hen farms were family size and social capital (P<0.05).…”

The purpose of this research was to understand the factors that influence the level of biosecurity adoption in beef cattle farms. This research was conducted in Soppeng Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia in 2019. The population was beef cattle farmers. The sample was purposively chosen, totaling 30 persons. The data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews using a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 30 questions about biosecurity practices, namely, sanitation, isolation and traffic control. Each question had two possible choices: not adopted was scored 0 and adopted scored 1. A linear regression model was used to assess the factors influencing level of biosecurity adoption. The results showed that the assessed variables, namely age, education, number of family and number of beef cattle explained 86.7% of the percentage adoption of biosecurity (adjusted R 2); thus, 13.3% were influenced by other factors which were not involved in the model. Simultaneously, all variables affected significantly the level of biosecurity adoption (P < 0.05). Partially, education level and herd size affected significantly the level of biosecurity adoption in beef cattle farms (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). It is suggested that extension and motivation for farmers should be enhanced in order to increase biosecurity adoption.
