JAYAPURA - The Agriculture and Food Service of Papua Province dispatched 96 officers to examine the sacrificial animals to ensure that the animals to be slaughtered on Eid al-Adha are in good health and free from foot and mouth disease.
"We sent officers to directly check, especially the animals that will be used as sacrifices," said Head of the Papua Province Food and Agriculture Office, Samuel Siriwa, in Jayapura, Wednesday, June 29.
He explained that until now there has been no report on the transmission of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in livestock in the Papua region.
However, he said, the local government is tightening the supervision of the traffic of livestock shipments to prevent the transmission of the disease.
"The sacrificial animals are expected to come from the local area, they cannot be imported from outside Papua," he said, quoted by Antara.
"We hope that there will be no PMK incidents in Papua," he added.
He appealed to residents to ensure that animals purchased for sacrifice have been checked and declared healthy.
