Poultry slaughtering is recommended to be carried out in slaughterhouses so that animal welfare practices can be observed. However, duck slaughtering in Bogor City is still carried out in traditional markets causing the animal welfare practices are not yet known. Several studies indicate that animal welfare effects the organoleptic quality of meat, but there are still few studies of it effects the microbiology quality of meat including duck meat. This research was conducted to find out the relationship animal welfare practices towards the microbiological quality of meat in traditional markets in Bogor City. This research uses survey method at all slaughter facilities in Bogor City, which all located at traditional markets. Animal welfare practice data was collected by observation using checklist in the Animal Welfare Development Guidelines Assessment Checklist for Animal Product Business Units 2023, while the microbiological quality of meat, namely total bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus, was tested using microbiology testing method written on SNI 2008 and ISO 21528-2:2017. The correlation of animal welfare practice and the microbiological quality of meat was analysed using the Spearman rho correlation test.
