Abstract

This research was conducted in Wonokerto Village, Bantur Subdistrict, Malang Regency, from September to November 2022. This study aimed to provide an overview of the social and economic impacts of the spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) using digital mapping on beef and dairy cattle farmers in Wonokerto Village. Sample selection for this study used a multi-stage sampling approach. The first stage employed purposive sampling techniques, with the criteria being farmers in Wonokerto Village affected by FMD. The second stage utilized random sampling. Data was collected through field surveys involving visits to the research location, observations, and interviews with farmers using questionnaires. The research respondents were beef cattle farmers who owned cattle affected by FMD. Results of the study indicated that the spread of FMD has social and economic impacts. The Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak prompted farmers to prioritize biosecurity, cleanliness, and housing management. However, the outbreak had detrimental social impacts, instilling public fear of consuming beef, resulting in the closure of livestock markets and a decline in beef sales. Some farmers experienced trauma, leading to a loss of motivation for their cattle farming businesses. In response to the outbreak, farmers invested over Rp16,000 per cow per day for treatment, but this expenditure did not prevent a significant weight reduction of 100 to 150 kg per cow. Despite efforts, treatments failed to restore the animals’ body weight to normal levels, resulting in the death of up to 7 cows and economic losses amounting to Rp 133 million rupiah.
