Abstract

The main raw material for broiler chicken feed is corn, where some of corn used still comes from imports. Policies to support the use of alternative raw materials other than those based on corn – soya at low prices are important to increase the competitiveness of broiler meat. World corn prices which continue to increase is one of the factors causing the increase in production costs in the broiler industry. The policy of banning the use of Antibiotic Growth Promoter (AGP) in feed since 2018 has not been widely followed because of fears that farmers will have an impact on reducing the performance of broiler chickens, although there are breeders who have used herbs instead of AGP at a lower cost, but they have not been mass produced. The aims of this study are: (1) to identify legislation related to the broiler feed industry; (2) evaluating the implementation of policies for the broiler feed industry; and (3) formulate policy recommendations for the deep feed industry to increase the efficiency of the broiler supply chain. This research will be conducted in 2022 in the provinces of West Java, West Sumatra and South Sulawesi. Data collection was carried out by interviewing key informants and Focus Group Discussions. Data processing was carried out descriptively using the modified OECD policy-cycle framework. To encourage the efficiency of the national broiler industry, a revitalization policy is needed to develop local feed ingredients as a source of energy and protein with sufficient quality and quantity at competitive prices. The ban on the use of AGP should be followed by supervision and in line with that the government encourages mass production of substitutes for AGP from herbal raw materials..
