Message from Dr. I Ketut Diarmita on ECTAD work in Indonesia in 2018

Since 2005, Indonesia has become one of the global epicentres for avian influenza (AI) virus infections with more human fatalities and human

cases than any other country until 2014. There is ample evidence of the large economic loss and loss of lives, both human and animal, caused by HPAI. This has made us realize the importance of controlling zoonotic diseases.

Currently, there are 300 animal diseases that could “spill over”

into humans, and Indonesia is considered a hotspot for zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases.

The DGLAHS is a technical institution, which is responsible to increase livestock production to meet animal protein demands from Indonesia’s people, and also to improve animal health to prevent zoonoses (i.e. health threats which

“spill over” into humans from animal populations). The DGLAHS receives support and assistance from FAO ECTAD Indonesia in preventing and controlling there animal diseases.

The FAO ECTAD 2018 Annual Report consists of information related to DGLAHS activities with FAO in facing emerging pandemic threats, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), emerging infectious disease and zoonoses. We also work together

to increase livestock and poultry production to ensure food security in Indonesia, discuss the successes, the challenges and the solutions that need active participation from the public, especially for the EPT-2 programme.

Using this opportunity, I would like to convey my appreciation and gratitude to FAO ECTAD Indonesia, which has supported the efforts of the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services on preventing and controlling zoonoses, especially AI, and rabies, but also emerging infectious diseases and issues related to AMR. For the future,

I hope we can continue to advance this work to achieve Indonesia free from animal diseases threats.

Firstly, I would like to thank God Almighty for the completion of the 2018 DGLAHS-FAO ECTAD

Indonesia Annual Report. Since 2006, the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services (DGLAHS) has been working closely with FAO to enhance Government capacity and ability to sustainably control Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Indonesia. Building upon the success of previous programmes, we are now working on broader aspects through the second Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT-2) programme.

disease threats to animal and human health. This OH approach relies on cross-sectoral collaboration, a range of technical disciplines,

access to multiple resources and a diverse array of communication approaches especially the use of social media.

Our theme of strengthening people and animals’ health focuses on early detection of

zoonotic disease threats followed by an inter-disciplinary One Health

response. During 2018 FAO, in collaboration with the Directorate of Animal Health, Directorate of Veterinary Public Health and local government livestock, health and wildlife services has developed and published OH Best Practices. These Best Practices have been trialled in four pilot districts (Minahasa, Ketapang, Bengkalis and Boyolali) and adjustments made to content and mode of delivery.

FAO continued to work cross-sectorally with local government field services on improved integrated animal disease surveillance and with DGLAHS Disease Investigation Centre laboratories on quality assurance and improved laboratory diagnostics.

The global health threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) gained greater traction within

the FAO EPT2 programme during 2018, with attention focused on awareness raising with veterinary medical students, veterinary faculties and conducting field studies on AMR and the use of antimicrobials on poultry farms. The FAO ECTAD communications team intensified efforts to deliver focused messages on One Health and AMR prevention and control to professional and community audiences.

To reach its objectives, the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) works closely with Government of Indonesia line ministries, local government Livestock and Animal Health Services, WHO, USAID, private sector partners, universities and civil society organisations.

FAO wishes to thank our technical partner the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services, and our donor USAID for their continuing programme support. The guidance and support of the FAO Representative in Indonesia is also gratefully acknowledged.

The continuing Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the persistent

corona virus Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) emphasise the continuing global threat of emerging infectious diseases. The rapid spread of infectious disease agents is a measure of our own global interconnectivity and the fluidity of movement. Globalisation has added new dimensions to health risk, enabling risks to spread more quickly, jumping traditional risk boundaries, and traveling further and faster across countries and sectors. Now more than ever, we need to implement a One Health approach to countering zoonotic

T he prevention and control of Zoonosis and EID’s rely on the early detection of the causal agent of the disease. Early detection of these pathogens plays an important role in the

policy making for disease prevention, especially for control and mitigation. Therefore, having well equipped laboratories with the capacity to detect Zoonosis and EID’s in a timely manner is pivotal for disease risk management in Indonesia.

Targeted surveillance of high-risk environments and animals at high risk of contracting zoonoses, and EIDs, including livestock, farmed wildlife and migratory birds, is one of the pillars in achieving rapid detection of the diseases.

Risk management for avian influenza, other zoonoses and Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) in Indonesia

1.1 Increased capacities to detect and prevent EID in Indonesia

Proven ability to early detect EID ensure Indonesia is prepared to prevent potential pandemic threat.

Indonesia has moved forward in increasing the surveillance capacity to detect EID in the country. Targeted surveillance, in the high risk area in wildlife-livestock and human and the interfaced. The surveillance detected influenza virus and viruses from potential EID virus families. The surveillance provided useful information for the government for prevention and control.

In 2018, to support sustainable swine influenza surveillance (SIV) an agreement was reached with DIC’s Medan, Subang and Denpasar of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) on the way forward for SIV surveillance, including swine system profiling, sample collection, laboratory diagnosis and data analysis.

In 2018, agreement was reached with DIC Banjar Baru to expand the surveillance to other whistling duck roosting areas, in Central and East Kalimantan, to better understand the co circulation of influenza viruses in the Whistling duck population.

Triangulated surveillance follows a One Health approach, which involves

the monitoring of wildlife, livestock, and human interfaces in order to detect viruses early that could become EID. Triangulated surveillance has been taken place since 2016 in Sulawesi island. In 2018 samples were collected in all provinces in Sulawesi. Samples were tested for 5 potential EID families (corona virus, paramyxo virus, influenza virus, flavi virus and filo virus) in three laboratories (DIC Maros, DIC Denpasar, and DIC Lampung).

Initial results from 2017 sampling have detected influenza

test whether a vaccine works to be commercially distributed in the country.

Since consultation with FAO and OIE in 2011, Government of Indonesia has adopted the policy to use locally circulating virus strain as vaccine strain.

On June 2018, Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health

Surveillance of deer in captivity

The intensive deer breeding in several regions in Indonesia with extreme agro-ecological changes such as land and forest transformation, urbanization, intensification of livestock and agriculture, have prompted contact between wild animals (deer), domestic animals and humans (interfaces). This contact has fused risks of pathogen transmission from wild animals to domestic animals, humans and vice versa.

Some diseases in deer (ungulate type) can be found in the domestic animals such as Epizootic haemorhagic diseases, Bovine Viral Diarhea, tuberculosis and brucellosis. One of the deer infections (Chronic wasting diseases) is estimated to cause outbreaks in livestock. Deer that is breed are considered as maintenance host / bridge hosts for EID disease from wildlife.

Lampung as hub between Sumatra and Java island, with high rate of urbanization and human mobility where deer breedings are taking place at farms located near livestock farms and densely populated settlements increasing the risk of virus transmission.

Following an OH approach, in 2018, The Directorate General of livestock and Animal Health (DGLAH) through DIC Lampung and DIT KKH thorugh BKSDA with the support of FAO ECTAD Indonesia agreed to conduct targeted surveillance to detect transmission of emerging infectious diseases from deer to livestock.

Training on surveillance and farmed deer profiling was conducted to increase the capacitiy and skills of Veterinary Service Officers (VSO’s) and wildlife officers to conduct deer surveillance.

This deer surveillance is carried out in collaboration with the Directorate General of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation (KSDAE) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Biology Research Center-Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and the Provincial Department of livestock and animal health in Lampung.

Indonesia uses vaccination as the main strategy to control influenza virus. The ability to select suitable

vaccine strain for local vaccine production is decisive to control avian influenza .

The Influenza Virus Monitoring (IVM) online system, allows Indonesia to monitor the AI viruses that are circulating in the country. Result of the monitoring then determine a strain for a challenge virus, a virus that represents circulating virus in the country and can be used to

Services (DGLAHS) for the first time officially appointed new challenge strains for AI H5N1 clade 2.1.3.2 and for AI H5N1 clade 2.3.2.1c.

This change follows the recommendation from IVM Management Team Meeting on March 2018 and Animal Health Expert Commission and Animal Drug Commission Meeting on May 2018.

This long overdue appointment is very significant since it is the first official appointment of a challenge strain based on IVM Online recommendation since challenge strain system was put into place in 2011.

1.3 Directorate of Animal Health increased commitment to biosafety and biosecurity

DICs in Indonesia ready to embrace a new standard for biosecurity and biosafety

A standardized biosafety and biosecurity is essential in beefing up the capacity of Disease Investigative Center in Indonesia. Ministry of Agriculture and FAO have introduced FAO laboratory Mapping tool-Biosafety Module (LMT-S) on April this year to start the capacity building process.

This training was participated by lab officers from National level laboratories, Disease Investigation Centers (Regional laboratories) and selected Provincial laboratories under Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services (DGLAHS).

The focus of this training was to equip the participants with technical knowledge and ability to use LMT-S as assessment tools to measure and improve the biosafety-biosecurity situation in their own labs.

From the discussion during the training session, most of the participants felt that biosafety and biosecurity were two aspects that had never been prioritized by Lab Managements. Thus, a recommendation was made from the training, which followed up by an official letter from Director of Animal Health urging each DIC’s Biosafety

Officers to coordinate and conduct internal laboratory assessment using LMT-S.

This led to appointment of Biosafety Officers and Biosafety Committee throughout the Disease Investigation Centers (DICs), since prior to that most of the DICs do not have one.

1.4 Animal Health Risk Assessment (AHRA) increases preparedness for EID in border areas

Joint risk assessment exercise support the animal health in the province to plan an emergency response that could save animal and human lives.

To strengthen the capacities of Veterinary Service Officers at the central and regional levels on animal health risk assessment (AHRA), two trainings were conducted resulting in 20 competent and independent

national and regional assessors from the Directorate of Animal Health, the Directorate of Veterinary Public Health, the Indonesian Veterinary Research Centre (BBaLitVet), IPB University, Disease Investigation Centres and the Indonesian Agriculture Quarantine Agency.

To put their skills into practice, a pilot AHRA on Nipah virus was carried out for West Kalimantan due to the identified potential risks of transboundary incursion of Nipah virus as agreed with key stakeholders and the risk manager.

West Kalimantan borders Malaysia where Nipah outbreaks occurred in pig farms between 1998 and 1999. In addition, research conducted by

BBaLitVet revealed that samples from West Kalimantan bats tested positive for Nipah virus in 2010.

The AHRA successfully assessed risk factors associated with bats and pigs related to entry, spill-over and spread of Nipah virus within 12 months as well as risk pathways supported by field epidemiological data collected from Sanggau district, which borders Malaysia.

The risk assessment exercise helps the officials to identify risk pathways for Nipah virus in West Kalimantan which is very useful for evidence-based planning of prevention and response actions in the field.

In the middle of 2018, a similar AHRA were conducted in North Sulawesi for avian influenza H5N6 subtype.

Both AHRA activities were documented and disseminated to GOI partners and relevant stakeholders in two target areas. The AHRA documents can help stakeholders to improve understanding, knowledge and critical thinking on risk assessment for potential animal health events, including zoonosis and EIDs.

Furthermore, the qualitative AHRA documents provided scientific evidence to be further used by the decision makers to formulate action and programme to mitigate the potential risk of EIDs and zoonoses as part of strengthening emergency preparedness and management.

Infectious Diseases (EID

s) in Indonesia

Timely outbreak investigation is very important in disease control decision making. FAO ECTAD and DGLAHS MoA have worked comprehensively to prepare local government technical officers, to report, prevent and control zoonoses as early as possible following disease detection. One of the Aceh trainees, Sahidi shares how past training in 2018 has impacted his work and the people of his region.

Sahidi works as a Head of Section at the Gayo Lues Regency Agriculture Office, Aceh. His area is comprised of hills and highlands where the famous Gayo coffee

comes from. Known as the “city of a thousands hills”, the area is also populated by cattle farmers. Local people usually keep their cattle in the valleys between the hills, along with a few goats and horses. Sahidi has spent much time observing and managing animal diseases, however he had never received disease outbreak investigation training until 2018. “Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, known as Septicaemia Epizootica (SE) in Indonesia, is the most common disease found in cattle and buffalos, while blood parasitic infection with Trypanosoma sp. is commonly found in horses. Rabies

is also found occasionally in my regency“ he said.

“I had heard about disease outbreak investigation for a long time, however I never understood the details until FAO ECTAD and MoA invited me to the training in 2018. I feel more than grateful for that rare chance”

As soon as he got back from the training, he reported immediately what he had learned to his supervisor and began to share that knowledge with his colleagues. He aims to use the knowledge gained during the training to help local people maintain their animals’ health. In 2015, 690 bovines, mainly buffalos perished due to SE. Farmers’ livelihoods were seriously impacted by the loss of their livestock. With his recent outbreak investigation knowledge, Sahidi is determined to prevent that loss from happening again through cattle and buffalo vaccination.

Since the 2015 outbreak, there have been no further losses in the regency. Regular stock vaccination and timely treatment of sick animals is provided to farmers. However, Sahidi advises not to overlook the importance of disease outbreak investigation, as it will identify any new or emerging livestock or zoonotic diseases and provide evidence for disease control policy making, even though final policy decisions will take place at a higher administrative level.

Z oonotic disease control globally is moving in the direction of the “One Health” approach. “One Health” is a collaborative effort of health practitioners (veterinarians,

MDs, public health officers, epidemiologists, ecologists, toxicologists, environmentalists and others) and their related agencies to achieve optimal health levels for the community, agriculture and livestock, wildlife and the environment.

Synergizing cross-sectoral collaboration in the fight against emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EID), the

FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) Indonesia has paved the way for One Health capacity development among the different sectors working at the human, animal and environment health interfaces.

Guidelines, integrated protocols, and a strategy for One Health implementations in Indonesia are underway to provide a strong foundation for the sustainability of the programme.

One Health capacity building

2.1 Emergency preparedness tools to prevent, detect and respond to pandemic threats

Guidelines, integrated protocols and master trainers from the animal health, human health and wildlife sectors are ready to ensure the sustainability of the One Health capacity building programme.

Developing One Health capacity is not only the most effective way of responding to the threats posed by Emerging Infectious Disease (EID) and zoonotic diseases, but also acts as a catalyst for fostering stronger collaboration, mutual support, and sharing knowledge, good practices and information among the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF)

Since the beginning of the EPT2 programme, the Director General of Livestock and Animal Health Services (DGLAHS) and FAO ECTAD have paved the way to build capacity in the three sectors, and in 2018, the training materials were handed over to the government to support the already trained master trainers.

The training materials package is titled “One Health Zoonosis and EID Prevention and Control for field officers from three sectors”. The modules have been used to train field officers from three sectors in the four FAO pilot provinces (Riau, Central Java, West Kalimantan, and North Sulawesi). The training materials will also be rolled out and used in other provinces of Indonesia to prevent, detect, and respond to potential EID and Zoonoses threats.

A Memorandum of understanding (MoU) to adopt the FAO – EPT2 training materials (curriculum, SOPs, modules) is being developed between the DGLAHS and the Animal Health Training Center in Cinagara, West Java.

2.2 Communication strategy for EID and zoonoses using the OH approach endorsed by three ministries

Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Forestry and Environment endorsed the EID and zoonoses communication strategy

Communication is very important for disease control and prevention. Communication and outreach is a crucial part of strengthening government’s capacity to prevent and control targeted zoonoses and EID in Indonesia.

This year, the Communication Strategy for EID and Zoonoses Control using a OH approach was finally endorsed by the three ministries to be further adopted in EID and zoonoses prevention activities.

The communication strategy covers three different stages: before, during and after a disease outbreak and each stage is formulated in three main parts: message strategy (narration), audience strategy, media and implementation strategy.

This document is complemented by guidelines and communication

Since the beginning of the EPT2 programme, the Director

General of Livestock and Animal Health Services (DGLAHS) and

FAO ECTAD have paved the way to build capacity in the three sectors, and in 2018, the training materials were

tools including practical examples of communication strategy implementation such as tips for spokespersons, template and format for issuing a press release, lists of questions and answers, tips to deal with difficult questions and information requests, and stakeholder mapping to decide the priority and engagement strategy for different stakeholders.

2.3 Building an information platform to support One Health field activities

Four Ministries agreed to have a common online platform to share EID-zoonoses-related information

In 2018, significant progress was reached to build an integrated One Health information sharing platform across different ministries.

Following a series of meetings and workshops held from June to December 2018 between the Coordinating Ministry of Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK), MoH, MoA and MoEF, an action plan and timeline was agreed to develop an information sharing platform. As part of the action plan, cross-sectoral working groups consisting of a technical team and a software engineering team were formed to develop the concept, the website and an android application.

These teams intensively discussed the design and specification of the One Health Information Sharing platform named SIZE 2.0 (Sistem Informasi Zoonosis dan EID) which has been developed by BPPT, the government agency for research and technology.

SIZE 2.0 will be developed based on the existing SIZE 1.0 developed by Kemenko PMK and BPPT (agency for research and technology) and will connect the cross-sectoral information system.

The development of SIZE 2.0 will facilitate information sharing and data exchange between the wildlife health, public health and animal health sectors for early warning of disease occurrence and implementation of prevention and control measures, using a One Health approach.

This year, the Communication Strategy for EID and Zoonoses Control using a OH approach was finally endorsed by the three ministries to be further adopted in EID and zoonoses

prevention activities.

2.4 Increase community welfare through the use of village funds in the livestock sector

The recently disseminated practical guidelines from FAO and MoA show how animal disease control can improve rural welfare and livelihoods using village funds.

The MoA, MoH and the Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration (MoVDRT) in collaboration with FAO raised disease control knowledge and awareness of Boyolali District Government agencies and thirty village representatives. The practical guidelines “Prevention and Control of Zoonoses and Emerging Infectious Diseases through Optimizing the Functions of Puskeswan (Animal Health Centers)” were introduced in Boyolali with the financial support of Village Funds.

Boyolali was selected as a pilot district for the One Health programme as it is one of the most important livestock production areas in Indonesia, especially for dairy cattle.

Since 2012 various zoonoses have been recorded in Boyolali, such as anthrax, avian influenza and leptospirosis that threaten the welfare of farmers in terms of both their economic advancement and health.

The involvement of the MoVDRT through village funds utilization should be recognised as a form of cross-sectoral cooperation that promotes the sustainability of the program.

Since it was launched by the central government in 2015, the village fund program has enabled villages to finance their own development, based on the needs and priorities of each village.

The Ministry of Health had already initiated the use of village funds for public health improvement through health care centers (Puskesmas). Through these awareness raising activities, it is hoped that village funds can be used as the seed capital for BUMDes (village-owned companies) which run animal health services.

District animal health agencies need to engage closely with village heads to leverage village funds effectively for EID and Zoonoses prevention and control. This cooperation will further help villages in developing a sustainable livestock economy to increase people’s income and to support government programmes to enhance food security.

2.5 Indonesian veterinary faculties adopt the One Health approach in their curricula

Veterinary schools in Indonesia agree to enrich their curricula on AMR and poultry health using the One Health approach.

Through various activities conducted by FAO and DGLAHS, best practices were documented to improve poultry health, reduce Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AMU/AMR), using a One Health approach to prevent, detect, and respond to zoonoses and EIDs.

Eleven veterinary schools through the Indonesian Association of Veterinary Faculties (AFKHI) agreed to enrich their curricula with these best practices and developed a work plan with FAO and the government.

From the government side, the DAH has established MoUs with the BBPKH Cinagara Training Centre and

2.6 Strengthening field epidemiology capacity

Indonesia will be the third country in Asia to have a Field Epidemiology Training Program for Veterinarians after China and Thailand.

Field epidemiology is a competency needed to prevent, detect, and control disease in animal populations. To develop government capacity in field epidemiology, the Field Epidemiology Training Programme for Veterinarians in Indonesia (FETPV/PELVI) was established with two different programs: a modular non-Degree and a Master’s Degree program. The development of the FETPV training modules and conducting the trainings received strong support from the FAO regional FETPV program in Thailand.

The first cohort of the modular program consists of 19 veterinarians from central government and DICs and they has participated in three out of the four FETPV training modules by September 2018. In each trainees’ workplace, field mentors were selected and trained to help trainees assimilating their knowledge and to finish their training assignments.

Meanwhile, the Master’s Degree program is conducted as a 2-year program at the Gadjah Mada University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH UGM) and started in August 2018. The

curriculum was specifically adjusted to contain more content related to field epidemiology. Five veterinarians from central government and DICs were selected as the first cohort. They are expected to graduate in 2020 as the first Masters in Field Epidemiology in Indonesia

To ensure sustainability, a Director General (DG) decree and MoU were developed for the FETPV program. First the decree between the DGLAHS and Cinagara Animal Health training center for the modular FETPV program was completed; this was followed by MoUs between the DGAHLS and UGM for the FETPV degree program and the establishment of field mentors at DICs.

Important stakeholders like the DICs and FETP expressed their strong support for both FETPV programs and all DICs promised to assign funds in their 2019 budgets for the next cohort of FETPV trainees and students.

The representative of veterinary schools through the Indonesian Association of Veterinary Faculties (AFKHI) invited by FAO and MoA to join a workshop on enrichment of One Health, poultry health and AMR curricula.

ealth capacity building

Boyolali Regency has been famous for a long time as the most important milk production region of Central Java. Boyolali was selected by DGLAHS-MoA and FAO as one of four pilot areas for prevention and control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) and targeted zoonoses using the One Health approach. Throughout 2018, several milestones were reached in this regency, which were made possible by our champions in the field. One of them is Afiany Rifdania, DVM - Head of the Animal Health Section at the Boyolali Livestock and Fisheries Office.

Since it started in 2016, the pilot programme has provided training to field officers from the three main sectors: human health, animal health and wildlife health. Afi has been a master trainer and she has coached sixty field officers

over the years. She continues to be actively involved in training animal health staff on zoonoses, such as anthrax, brucellosis, avian influenza and rabies. The officers are taught about factors that may lead to these diseases, as well as reporting and control procedures.

Looking back, Afi reflected upon how laborious it was to manage and control outbreaks in the past, such as the anthrax outbreaks which hit this “regency of cattle” throughout 2011 and 2012. Lack of communication and coordination between offices made outbreak investigation slower as each of the offices used to collect data on its own. Thus, the anthrax response in 2011 was delayed for over a month. This was unacceptable to farmers, given the importance of livestock and the endemic presence of diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis and

avian influenza in Boyolali, which require prompt and well-focused responses.

“Imagine in the past, how could the animal health and human health offices take samples from the one zoonotic disease in the same area without communicating with each other? I remember during the anthrax outbreak in 2011-2012, my animal health office would just take samples from animals, while the health office collected samples from humans. At that time, controlling outbreaks felt laborious because each office was working on its own”

Due to its significant impact, the local government decided to continue One Health training using its own budget. Today, Boyolali has 95 trained officers from different sectors who actively contribute to disease prevention and control using various platforms, such as Whatsapp Messenger, the National Animal Health Information System (iSIKHNAS) and the Ministry of Health/WHO EWARS system. Despite the regency’s strong confidence in its capabilities, Afi advises to always stay alert. “This regency is located between two mountains and our livestock products feed many areas in Indonesia. We never know when a disease outbreak could take place, nor when a new disease might emerge. Thus staying alert, in addition to being confident of our team’s performance is important,” says Afi.

T he risk of pathogen amplification, including avian influenza viruses, and spill-over to humans can be reduced by improving effective biosecurity and good management

practices. These include vaccination on farms, especially sector-3 commercial poultry farms and biosecurity interventions along the market chain.

Interventions should be applied at every stage from production farm to collector yard to live bird markets, one of the places with the highest risks for pathogen spill-over.

Evidence-based studies are needed to convince poultry farmers, other poultry industry stakeholders, and policy makers to reform their poultry production and marketing practices along the poultry value chain.

Asia is one of the epicentres of global antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Extensive antimicrobial use (AMU) in livestock production is one of main factors fuelling AMR in Asia. The Global Health Security Agenda strongly encourages countries to combat AMR by controlling antimicrobial use in livestock, including poultry.

To support the Indonesian Government in tracking AMR trends and AMU in livestock, AMR surveillance and an AMU survey were initiated in Indonesia. In 2018, Indonesia government agreed to adopt AMR/AMU surveillance to prevent further misused of antibiotics in animal.

3.1 Healthy farms for better productivity

3.1.2 Duck farmers improved best practices on farm management and biosecurity

Recent study showed duck farmers have improved their best practices in farm

The demand for duck has continued to rise over the last 10 years. This has resulted in a significant growth in the number of enterprises that raise ducks for consumption. With increased numbers of poorly managed commercial duck farms, diseases continue to emerge. The highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 clade 2.3.2 virus was detected in ducks in Indonesia for the first time in 2012.

This strain of avian influenza virus causes a high rate of mortality, reaching around 75-100 percent, in young ducks. In this case, ducks not only act as carriers and spreaders of the virus, but their deaths also represent high economic losses for the farmer.

FAO ECTAD Indonesia, together with the Ministry of Agriculture through the USAID-funded EPT2 programme, initiated a pilot study on cost-effective biosecurity and improved

management practices in small-scale duck farms.

The program involves around 50 commercial duck farms, both layers and meat ducks, in Mojokerto, East Java Province. This study will provide information to the Indonesian government for improved poultry policy making and inform commercial duck farmers on how to ensure better duck farming biosecurity and management, and increase flock productivity.

In 2018, The duck study in Mojokerto district as pilot study for Cost-Effective Biosecurity, Vaccination and Farm Management in Smallholder Duck Farms in Indonesia was completed. The preliminary results of this study have been disseminated in October 2018 to animal health service, and duck farmers in Mojokerto district.

Results showed that participating duck farmers have improved 28 percent of their best practices in farm including record keeping (32 percent), biosecurity (26 percent), farm management (25 percent) and vaccination (28percent). Financial impact due to interventions in this study gave farmers additional revenue 24.11 IDR per duck per day.

3.1.3 Poultry farmers have more access to information regarding better farming practices

Technical assistance and dissemination of farm best practices encourage farmer to improve the farm conditions

In 2018, following series of awareness raising events and direct technical assistances on farms, more than 30 poultry farms in central poultry population i.e in Central Java, East Java and Banten provinces have improved their management, vaccination and implemented effective biosecurity on farm through 3 zones biosecurity approach which enabled them as role models for other poultry farms. At the same year, more than 2 500 poultry farmers and its stakeholders were informed about poultry farm best practices through national seminars and exhibitions that were conducted during the reporting period, thus expanding the awareness and knowledge on the importance of effective farm biosecurity implementation by many farms in Indonesia.

3.2 FAO and 3 cross sectoral ministries collaborate to develop capacity for markets and slaughterhouses

Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Trade (MoT) and targeted local government and private sectors in Greater Jakarta are work together to control avian Influenza

The recommendations resulting from the value chain studies in Greater Jakarta area have been developed in the form of policy

papers and follow up actions for market chain intervention. In 2018, the agreement reached between FAO and different key stakeholders such as MoA, MoH, MoT and targeted local government and private sectors (Market Managers, Slaughterhouse Owners and Livestock Service) to a pilot project to increase capacity of market and slaughter houses to control avian Influenza.

The interventions were implemented at five pilot locations (three markets and two poultry slaughterhouses) focusing on improvement of hygiene and sanitation at poultry market, healthy market program, hygiene and healthy lifestyle behaviour (PHBS), and the promotion of the Indonesian National Standard certification for traditional market (SNI 8152:2015).

The main results of the comprehensive market interventions are the commitment and 2019 budget allocation from the key stakeholders for the sustainability of the market biosecurity intervention program.

While the local government (livestock and animal health services and market management) allocated budget for capacity building and awareness rising for market management, poultry traders and consumers; the MoT allocated budget to support the market certification (Indonesian National

3.3 Fighting antimicrobial resistance

The Ministry of Agriculture for the first time initiated the national AMR surveillances in the slaughter house

Surveillance, as one of the main components in the “Global Action Plan on AMR”, is the cornerstone for assessing the burden of AMR and for providing the necessary information and evidence for decision-making and action.

In 2018, after adopting the recommendation of pilot the 2017 AMR surveillance broiler poultry,

Minister of Agriculture conducted the national AMR surveillance in the slaughter houses, using national budget in eight DICs in Indonesia to collect the national data of the AMR for Escherichia coli in broiler poultry. As part of the commemoration of the 2018 World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, there were series of activities conducted such as street campaign, farmers’ seminar, and competitions of photographs, posters, caricature, essays and educational videos involving veterinary students and general community.

The topics of the activities include prudent use of antibiotics, the danger of AMR and One Health as part of advocacy and awareness raising events with general community under the theme of

“Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance and Controlling Zoonoses and EIDs using One Health approach”.

In 2018, studium generales were conducted in three vet schools in Brawijaya University-Malang, Nusa Cendana University-Kupang, and Padjajaran University-Bandung to disseminate experiences, lessons learnt and raise awareness of Vet students and general public as important competencies that they should have.

In addition, the poultry farmers seminars have also been conducted to increase the awareness of the farmers on the danger of AMR and the importance of prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials in their farms as the main efforts in controlling AMR.

3.4 Farmers have missed-perception towards antibiotics impacts

Most farmers in FAO pilot areas considers antibiotic usage to poultry can give them better economic benefits.

In the recent perception survey, Indonesian broiler farmers believe that antibiotics usage can give them financial benefits. They believe antibiotics are able to increase productivity, prevent diseases, and death. The misperceptions are occurred in 80 percent of the farmer respondent.

However, more than fifty percent farmers identified that AMR is a major challenge in human medicines and an equal number of farmers felt that antimicrobial use in broilers might affect the health of the consumers.

Annual Report 2018 Emergency Centre for Transboundary Disease Indonesia: Healthy Animals Healthy People16

2018 marks an important milestone in the efforts to control avian influenza in live bird markets along the poultry value chain. Since the greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek) is at the heart of live bird trafficking from many parts of the country, FAO ECTAD and the Ministry of Agriculture initiated a pilot market programme, called “Pasar BERSAMA” to apply improved biosecurity practices at live bird markets, markets selling poultry carcasses and poultry slaughterhouses. Our champion, Muhammad Firmansyah of PD Pasar Niaga Kerta Raharja – a state-owned company managing markets in Tangerang Regency - shared how much he enjoyed encouraging best biosecurity practices, despite all the challenges.

As the Head of the Vendor Empowerment Sub-division, Firmansyah’s daily activities revolve around interacting with vendors to help them comply with regulations while making businesses grow. He admitted that biosecurity is a strange term, thus very hard to explain to traders. However, personal interactions over coffee between his team and vendors have made it easier to educate and convince vendors to follow the hygiene and sanitation standards, advised by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Firmansyah expressed his excitement when listening to positive feedback from both vendors and consumers, who find that markets have transformed, to be cleaner within

a more comfortable business environment. They no longer feel disgusted by the market conditions, nor are scared about the spread of infectious diseases. Even though he was sometimes criticized by vendors who doubted the programme or were too lazy to change their behavior, his strong belief in the efficacy of these biosecurity standards makes him find other more persuasive ways to promote it.

I always use the analogy of a house and a family to help understand biosecurity in the market. This market is our house, with vendors, PD Pasar and consumers as the family members. We should clean up before entering our house, to avoid infecting other family members with disease.

Personally, he feels proud of his involvement in FAO-MoA joint efforts to control avian influenza along the poultry market value chain. Besides the training materials that helped him grow professionally, the strong bond of brotherhood between training participants from markets all over Indonesia is very special to him. He is delighted to have colleagues who share the same vision to empower market biosecurity improvements. Also, he treasures the opportunities provided to meet high level national officials during trainings and market biosecurity events.

4.1 Strengthening relationship with media

Despite the highly diversified communication channels, mainstream media are our strategic partners to reach a wide national audience. Throughout 2018, FAO ECTAD has leveraged the relationship with the media from mere partners to disseminate information and raise public awareness to partners for knowledge exchange. The vision was launched during the first ever Media Fellowship conducted by FAO ECTAD and the DGLAHS Ministry of Agriculture in close collaboration with Aliansi Jurnalis Independen (the Indonesian Alliance of Independent Journalists - AJI).

The first Media Fellowship was conducted in 2018, in close collaboration with Aliansi Jurnalis Independen (Indonesian Alliance of Independent Journalists – AJI) to exchange knowledge on pandemic threats, livestock production, food safety and food security in Indonesia.

The fellowship was comprised of several activities: Briefing with Senior Editors; Media Workshop, Coaching and Field Visits; Media Reports Competition and finally the Awards Ceremony. The top three reporters were supported to attend the 5th International One Health Conference in Canada, in June 2018. The Media Fellowship activities were attended by 25 representatives from online media, print media and television from all over Indonesia.

During the Media Fellowship activities, journalists, FAO ECTAD and MoA exchanged knowledge on emerging pandemic threats, antimicrobial resistance (AMR),

emerging infectious diseases (EID) and zoonoses. The institutions fostered high quality and credible media reporting on pressing issues related to pandemic disease threats, livestock production and health, food safety and food security in Indonesia.

“I realize now, that EID are not only a threat for Indonesia, as one of the Asian hotspots for disease emergence, but that this is a global threat,” Shinta Maharani, Tempo journalist.

4.1.1 Media coverage highlights

The communications team has been very active in advocating on health and food safety issues and promoting the extensive portfolio of the FAO EPT-2 project through media coverage both at the national and local levels.

A Website has also been maintained as a reliable and frequently updated source to record all project milestones throughout the year. The 21 posted website articles, infographics and other communication materials in 2018 reflected the productivity of the program in creating meaningful and news-worthy achievements.

11 press releases were published in 2018 which gained more than 200 media reports. Thiof FAO Representation in Indonesia.

4.3 Collaborative public outreach through celebration of international days

International Days are more than just ceremonials. They provide perfect moments for FAO ECTAD to stream important issues into public agendas. A series of campaigns have successfully captured the public’s attention on zoonotic diseases, food safety, antimicrobial resistance, etc. and has brought those issues closer to our daily lives. Moreover, International Days create platforms for the Government of Indonesia, FAO, USAID, civil society and the general public to collaborate and speak out on the issues revolving around pandemic prevention.

In 2018, two major celebrations on international days were conducted, namely World Food Day and World Antibiotic Awareness Week.

International Days create platforms for the Government of Indonesia, FAO, USAID, civil society and the general public to collaborate and speak out on the issues revolving around pandemic prevention.

4.3.1 Zero hunger festival to celebrate 2018 WFD

To celebrate World Food Day (WFD), FAO ECTAD conducted a media field visit by 12 journalists to Rawa Kepiting slaughterhouse on October, 6. On 7th October FAO ECTAD organized the WFD Festival

at Menteng Public Park which, was opened by the Jakarta Governor, Anies Baswedan.

The festival which featured Miss Indonesia 2008 Zivanna Siregar, aimed to raise public awareness on the importance of consuming healthy poultry meat and eggs, especially for communities living in the Greater Jakarta Area. In addition, FAO ECTAD participated in the main WFD exhibition in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan in October 2018.

4.3.2 World antibiotic awareness week

Almost 4 000 people in total participated in the series of activities on Antibiotic Awareness in November 2018. FAO ECTAD started by holding national competitions on essay writing, photography and caricature drawing. A hundred poultry farmers in East Java, one of the most important livestock areas of the country were involved in a national seminar to discuss commitment on the prudent use of antibiotics on farms.

Universities remained key in the celebrations by holding a Studium Generale seminar at Universitas Brawijaya and a street campaign with Universitas Airlangga. These are the two most prestigious universities in East Java and are looked up to by other universities in Eastern Indonesia. Another AMR street campaign was conducted on the same day in Metro City, Lampung, with the full support of the local government and the local association of poultry farmers.

Another 3 500 people were reached through a full week long campaign on FAO Indonesia’s social media, featuring Asia Pacific regional content and Indonesian content.

International Days create platforms for the Government of Indonesia, FAO, USAID, civil society and the general public to collaborate and speak out

on the issues revolving around pandemic prevention.
