Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The Avian Population Survey (AvPS) was conducted in 2006 in all provinces nationwide except Batanes.
The response of the Philippine Government to the global threat of bird flu has been remarkable. The country, with all the concerted efforts of both private and government sectors, has maintained its "AVIAN FREE" status up to the present, while even the first world countries, despite the significant efforts to protect themselves have failed. As part of the country's preparedness program on the impending threat of AVIAN FLU, a survey was undertaken to generate benchmark avian population count by type of farm, by barangay. The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS), in collaboration with the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), DA-Regional Field Units (RFUs) and Local Government Units (LGUs) conducted the Avian Population Survey (AvPS).
The survey collected information on inventory of chicken, duck, other poultry and birds by classification, by farm type, number of commercial farms and housing capacity. Key Informant approach was used in generating the above information nationwide. The information generated gave the BAI a spatial dimension of the country's avian population. The said undertaking gave us a clear scope of population at risk, on the smallest geographical unit possible, the barangay. Response to any eventualities will be more direct and efficient in the presence of data on avian population by barangay. We will also be well equipped in decision making both in disease control and in trade if we will be able to see the accurate and detailed distribution of population of our poultry in the country. The BAS and other DA agencies that participated in this activity hoped that the outputs of this survey can provide the planners, policy makers, farmers and other stakeholders with relevant information details regarding poultry population in the country.

Data processing
After the data collector has reviewed and completely filled up all the items in the questionnaires, these were submitted to the POCs which forwarded the same to ROC for regional consolidation then to BAS Central Office for national consolidation. The survey questionnaires went through verification and manual editing to see if the data collected were consistent with the requirements in the editing guidelines which was provided by the BAS.
The Provincial Processing Officers (PPOs) of BAS were responsible in data coding, encoding, electronic data cleaning and generation of systems generated outputs by barangay, municipality and province. The provincial outputs were submitted to the Regional Processing Officers (RPOs) of BAS to come up with the regional estimates.
