Dissemination mapping through spatial distribution pattern of day-old local chicken in West Java, Indonesia

Abstract

Local chicken has several potential functions in Indonesia, especially as an alternative source of food. Over the last decade, local chicken farms have been growing rapidly to supply the increasing demand of local chicken meat. The government continues to disseminate and spread high-quality local chicken breeds, including KUB Chicken. This study aims to analyse the spatial distribution of day-old local chicken (DOC) as part of dissemination program in Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The method of this study was descriptive with field observation to collect primary data. Secondary data was used as comparison. The amount of DOC was calculated from three years dissemination program (2018, 2019 and 2020). The results showed 80,120 DOC were distributed to 204 farmers groups in 35 subdistricts in Bogor in the last three years. Cibungbulang Subdistrict has received the most DOC and Cisarua Subdistrict has received the least the DOC with the number of 8,846 DOC and 352 DOC, respectively. This study shows that the spatial distribution of DOC was not spread equally. This study suggests the enhancement of distribution of DOC, especially to the subdistricts in central part of Bogor and has a low population of local chicken.
