Sustainability Assessment of Kub Native Chicken Breeding Stock Availability in Malang Raya Using RAP-MDS
Abstract
One of the leading commodities in the poultry subsector is native chickens, especially the Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) native chicken, which is developed by the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the status and condition of the sustainability aspects related to the breeding stock availability of KUB native chickens in Malang Raya, examining it from six dimensions and 29 attributes. The analysis uses the RAP-Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) method to evaluate the sustainability indicators of breeding stock availability. Based on the study results, the dimensions that indicate an almost sustainable status are economic (70.77%), animal welfare (56.31%), ecology (55.42%), and institutional (50.24%). The dimensions social (49.92) and technology (49.05) are in the less sustainable category. The overall sustainability index value of the dimensions is in the almost sustainable category (56.00), indicating that the availability of KUB chicken seeds in Malang Raya will continue to be stable and has potential for further development. The attributes that need to be strengthened are community support, increasing access to training, biosecurity, vaccination program, and adopting technologies such as probiotics and productivity recording systems.
