JAKARTA - The technique for replacing cows infected with mouth and nail disease (PMK) will be regulated by a Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture (Permentan).
This was conveyed directly by the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Chair of the Committee for Handling COVID-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN) Airlangga Hartarto.
"Technically prepared by the Minister of Agriculture. So the maximum replacement is Rp. 10 million," Airlangga told reporters at the Jakarta Presidential Palace complex, quoted from Antara, Monday, July 4.
Airlangga said, there are criteria for cows exposed to FMD to get replacement. Therefore, not all culled cows will get replacement.
He explained that if a cow had to be slaughtered but the meat could still be sold with a certain protocol, the replacement would not be given or only part of it would be given.
"This will be regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture. We ask that the Ministerial Regulation be issued as soon as possible," said Airlangga.
So far, the government has continued to encourage vaccination of livestock.
The government approved the procurement of 29 million doses of oral and nail disease vaccine for livestock this year using funds from the Committee for Handling COVID-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN).
