BANGKA - The Agriculture Service of Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, noted that the supply of sacrificial cows for Eid al-Adha 1443 Hijriah reached 500 heads.
"The supply of sacrificial cattle has reached 500 heads, all of which are from breeders scattered in every sub-district," said Head of the Central Bangka Agriculture Service, Sajidin, quoted from Antara, Sunday, June 12.
He explained that previously there was concern that the supply of sacrificial cows would be much less due to the outbreak of mouth and nail disease (PMK).
"However, currently 85 percent of cows exposed to FMD have been declared cured, where previously 750 cows were exposed," he said.
A cattle trader in Central Bangka, Samud, said that receiving cattle at his place had returned to normal.
"Now the cows have started to enter and are back to normal, where previously there were only 40 cows due to the PMK outbreak, but now they are back to normal, reaching 180 heads," he explained.
He also ensures that the stock of sacrificial cattle and consumption is safe until Eid al-Adha and prices are relatively stable.
"The supply of sacrificial cows and beef for the purposes of Eid al-Adha is relatively safe and certainly free of PMK," he said.
