In order to increase poultry safety, Winrock’s John D. Rockefeller (JDR) 3RD Scholars Program funded a bi-country team in Cambodia and Lao PDR to research Avian Influenza (AI) control and prevention measures during from 2008 to 2010. The team led by Suon Seng of the Center for Development Oriented Research (CENTDOR), Phnom Penh, completed their one-year study in April on the factors that influence smallholder poultry producers to adopt improved bio-security practices. The team reviewed secondary data related to disease outbreaks, interviewed key stakeholders from Government and NGOs, and conducted community and household surveys of 700 small poultry producing households in Cambodia and 400 in Lao PDR.
