| Özet: | Dairy industry in tropical Asia has failed to keep in line with the speed of dairy development in western countries over decades. Thus, dairy cattle farms tend to increase in animal number, hence management focus have been shifted from curative to preventive approach. To help the farmers cope with the changes, herd health program (HHP) was introduced to dairy cattle farm of Program Ladang Angkat (PLA). Since introduction of HHP to the farmers in September 2011, the level of farmer compliance and awareness on HEP remains unknown. Thus, the aims of this study are to determine the level of farmers’ awareness and compliance on 14 components in HHP, to determine association between farmer’s awareness and compliance on HHP as well as the recommend some basic HHP to the farmers after identifying the factors that were lacking in order to achieve their goals. All dairy cattle farms of PLA (n=5) were assessed using questionnaire and the farms’ environment were observed during the visit. Total percentage of farmer compliance and awareness on each component HHP was calculated using Microsoft Office Excel and the association between farmer’s awareness and compliance were analysed using Spearman’s rho. Farmers were aware but did not necessarily comply on HHP according to mean of farmer’s awareness percentage was higher than mean of farmer’s compliance. There was significant low positive correlation between both varibles. Factors affecting farmer’s compliance with low score. Thus, improving farmer compliance of HHP can gradually help to improve our ruminant industry. |
