Judul: Kajian Biosekuriti Instalasi Karantina Hewan Sapi Impor di Pulau Jawa
Abstrak: Indonesia imports large number of live cattle as breeding cattle or beef cattle to fulfill its demands for protein of animal origin. In order to prevent animal disease entering and spreading in the country the Government of Indonesia provides animal quarantine premises inside or outside every entry/exit point. Requirements and procedures to establish animal quarantine premises is stated in the Agriculture Minister’s Decree No 34/2006 regarding Requirements and Procedures to Establish Animal Quarantine Premises, and in the Head of Agriculture Quarantine Agency’s Decree regarding Technical Guidelines for Large Ruminant Animal Quarantine Premises. Biosecurity in animal quarantine facilities is one of important factors in preventing spreading of diseases among animals, transmission from animals to human or vice versa and also preventing disease to enter premises. Biosecurity implementation in animal quarantine premises depends on the knowledge, attitude and practices conducted by the officers of the premise, both veterinarian officers and paraveterinarian officers. The aim of this study is to determine the level of biosecurity and the relation among characteristic, knowledge and attitude of veterinarian and paraveterinarian officers on the biosecurity implementation (sanitation, isolation and movement control) in a temporary animal quarantine premises. Data were collected from temporary animal quarantine premises for imported cattle across Java Island. In this study we found that in general the biosecurity implementation in the premises was adequate (62.6%) and good (31.2%). We also noticed that the characteristic of veterinarian officers showed no relation to the biosecurity implementation, while the knowledge and attitude of veterinarian officers showed a strong relation to the biosecurity implementation (p<0.05) with medium correlation level (r = 0.463 and r = 0.524). On the other hand, characteristic of paraveterinarian officers showed no relation to the biosecurity implementation, while the knowledge and attitude of paraveterinarian officers shows a strong relation to the biosecurity implementation (p<0.05) with medium correlation level (r = 0.410 and r = 0.427).

Abstrak: This study was conducted to analyze knowledges, attitudes and practices of installation personnels related to animal welfare and biosecurity to correlate knowledge, attitudes and practices of installation personnels to measure the level of animal welfare and biosecurity in animal quarantine installations. Data were collected from animal quarantine premises for exported primate (Macaca fasicularis). The level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of respondences measure by interviews and observation using the questionnaires and checklist. Data analyzed to determine associations between these variables using chi square and Gamma test. This research revealed that veterinarian knowledge correlated to their attitude with the level of correlation 0.694, and the care taker knowledge correlated to their attitude with the level of correlation 0.575. This study also noticed that the characteristics of respondents showed no correlation between animal welfare and biosecurity implementation, while the knowledge and attitude of veterinarians showed a strong correlation between animal welfare and biosecurity implementation with medium correlation level (r = 0.694). On the other hand the knowledge and attitude of care takers showed a strong correlation between the animal welfare and biosecurity with medium correlation level (r = 0.575). In conclusion most of the knowledge, attitude and practice of the veterinarians were verygood and knowledge, attitude and practice of the managers and care takers were good.
