Head of the DKI Jakarta Food, Maritime and Agriculture Security Service, Suharini Eliawati, said that her party had begun to monitor and examine sacrificial animals ahead of Eid al-Adha this year.

This is done in the context of ensuring the health and security of the community in sacrificing animals purchased from shelters or selling sacrificial animals in the DKI Jakarta area.

"Officers communicate information and education (KIE) to owners/sellers of sacrificial animals related to preventing the transmission of animal diseases, the application of biosecurity, and reporting if any suspected cases of infectious animal disease are found," Suharini told reporters, Sunday, June 4.

Then, the DKI Provincial Government evaluates the feasibility of shelters or sales of sacrificial animals related to supporting facilities such as roofs of shades, safety fences, quarantine and isolation cages, waste shelters, and disposal areas as well as points of supervision of officers.

"The KPKP Office has carried out socialization and coordination with the Office in charge of livestock and health functions as well as the Veterinary Authority officials of the area that supply sacrificial animals. It is hoped that this effort can ensure that the sacrificial animals entering DKI Jakarta are safe and healthy," said Suharini.

In addition, Suharini asked the suppliers of DKI Jakarta sacrificial animals to be able to choose a healthy sacrificial animal and have received PMK vaccinations in livestock areas.

"If you find indications of PMK symptoms, you can contact the local KPKP Sub-Department officers," he said.

The regulations used by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government are for the traffic procedures for sacrificial animals that enter the DKI Jakarta area, namely the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 17 of 2023 concerning Procedures for Supervision of Animal Traffic, Animal Products, and Media for Other Animal Diseases in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

Along with that, the DKI Provincial Government is targeting the vaccination target of Kuku and Mouth Diseases (PMK) this year for livestock in this area as many as 5,310 doses.

Suharini said the PMK vaccination for livestock in DKI Jakarta had been carried out since 2022. Then, in 2023, 3,071 doses were continued.

"So that a total of 8,497 doses have been injected into cows, buffalo, goats and sheep in DKI Jakarta," said Suharini.
