The native chicken industry in Indonesia plays an important role among small-scale chicken and egg producers who live in the villages. It provides a significant contribution to national meat production representing about 14.17% (307.500 tones) of total production in 2008. Native chicken consists of a number of breeds as claimed by local governments and communities. The government has developed subsidy program to increase chicken population by encouraging small-scale rural producers to adopt the intensive production system and to increase the number of chickens raised in the farm. Biosecurity system has been developed and adopted in an intensive system of production. The supply of day old chicks to produce slaughter native chickens and preferred market weight of 0.7-0.9 kg/bird is now a problem that needs to be addressed. A rational law that regulates native chicken enterprises was passed to protect small-scale producers and promote animal genetic conservation.
