JAKARTA - East Jakarta Food, Maritime and Agriculture Security (KPKP) Sub-Department officers destroyed 164.5 kilograms of jeroan (body organs) of sacrificial animals that were not suitable for consumption on Eid al-Adha 1445 Hijriah. Head of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Section of the East Jakarta Food, Marine and Agriculture Security Sub-Department (KPKP Sub-Department), Theresia Ellita said that the abundance of sacrificial animals that were not suitable for consumption was based on the results of an internal organ examination (post mortem) by officers at the slaughterhouse.

"The examination was carried out from Monday (17 June) to Wednesday (19 June). From the number of examined sacrificial animals, it was found that 164.5 kilograms of jeroan contain liver worms and pneumonia," said Ellita.

The robbery was immediately destroyed on the spot by soaking with chemical liquid, then destroyed and planted in the ground. This is done so as not to be consumed or misused by irresponsible parties. "All the sacrificial animals examined are spread across 252 locations in 10 sub-districts," he said. Although it was found that the body was not suitable for consumption, in general, the sacrificial animals slaughtered in East Jakarta (East Jakarta) were in good health and fit for consumption.
