Abstract:
This study explores the optimization of broiler farming in Nabire Regency, Papua Province, Indonesia. With the aim of addressing the substantial deficit in local broiler meat supply, this research employs a SWOT analysis to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced by the broiler farming sector in Nabire. The findings highlight the strategic significance of Nabire's location, the rising demand for broiler meat, and the availability of natural resources and local government support. However, challenges such as limited farmer experience, dependency on external sources for feed and day-old chicks (DOC), and high mortality rates persist. Strategies proposed include increasing the use of available land, providing soft credit, forming cooperatives, and enhancing farmer knowledge through technology transfer. The study underscores the need for comprehensive strategic planning to enhance broiler productivity and meet the local demand for broiler meat effectively.
