Sidrap district, South Sulawesi province was chosen as the place for the research because beside it was famous as the center of laying hen farms, it also became one of six districts in South Sulawesi which suffered from Avian influenza outbreak in 2005. Total sample was 60 respondents. The sample was choosen through random sampling from two subdistricts which was the most populous of layer smallholders, namely Baranti and Maritengngae. Data were obtained through observations and interviews using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using a score based on biosecurity status. Biosecurity status was obtained based on the adoption of biosecurity measures which consisted of 9 stages: farm inputs, traffic onto farms, distance from sources of pathogens to shed, exposure of farm, biosecurity at farm boundary, biosecurity between farm boundary and shed, biosecurity at the shed door, traffic into the shed and susceptibility of the flock. Multiple regression model were employed to analyse the data. The study revealed that the adoption biosecurity were associated with gender, age, education, farming experience, farm-income, family size and social capital. These variables contributed 20.00% variation in biosecurity adoption of laying hen farms. However, only farm income, family size and social capital were the major factors affecting to the adoption of biosecurity (P < 0.05). Keywords: laying hen, farmers, biosecurity, adoption
