Biosecurity is the most effective method to prevent farms from Avian Influenza outbreak that affect most broiler and layer farms. This paper discussed the status and level of biosecurity implemented by small and big farms (broiler and layer in the three provinces. In addition to that to determine whether there is any correlation between mortality and weight gain to both status and level of biosecurity implemented by farmers. Results showed that small layer and broiler farms have similar biosecurity status in Java and Bali but not in Sulawesi. Small and large layer producers on both types of farms are also have similar biosecurity status in the three provinces. With regards to the level of biosecurity implemented in the three provinces have their own characteristic of implementation. Both status and level of biosecurity implemented do not correlate with mortality in both types of farms neither on broiler weight gain. Key words : biosecurity, layer, broiler, west java, Bali and South Sulawesi.
