DIY - The Livestock and Animal Health Service (DPKH) of Gunung Kidul Regency issued a circular containing an appeal for sales to the process of slaughtering animals on Eid al-Adha 1443 Hijriah.
Head of DPKH Gunung Kidul Wibawanti Wulandari said circulars containing livestock sales must have a recommendation from DPKH, so they can be monitored.
"In addition to DPKH recommendations, livestock owners are also required to have an Animal Health Certificate (SKKH), so that the condition of the livestock being sold is guaranteed to be free from the potential for disease transmission, such as foot and mouth disease (PMK)," said Wibawanti in Gunung Kidul, Special Region of Yogyakarta ( DIY), quoted from Antara, Monday 4 July.
He reminded livestock traders not to sell sacrificial animals on the roadsides adjacent to the cattle pens.
"Later we will also deploy officers to carry out direct supervision," he said.
Wibawanti ensured that the animal market activity would remain open with strict inspection of the cattle that were about to enter. Starting from completeness of documents, physical examination, temperature, to compliance with health protocols (prokes).
"We are intensifying the monitoring of animal traffic in the animal market to anticipate the entry of livestock that are positive for FMD," he said.
As for the slaughter, it requires the committee to have a recommendation and provide a report. The goal is to ensure that the slaughter process is in accordance with hygiene and health procedures.
"Such as when handling offal, as much as possible not to be consumed and buried in the ground," he said.
Meanwhile, the Regent of Gunung Kidul Sunaryanta also has no problem with the cattle buying and selling process being carried out outside the market area. One of them is like on the side of the road that is usually done.
However, he specifically asked breeders to pocket recommendations to official documents. Including complying with the procedures and rules that have been conveyed through circulars.
"What is certain is that the health condition of the livestock sold must be guaranteed safe and equipped with the necessary documents," he said.
