Batam Agricultural Quarantine tightens supervision of the entry of cows from Lampung by using ships to anticipate the entry of the Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) disease and Mouth and Nail Disease (PMK). Tightening of the supervision of the cattle, said the Sub-Coordinator of Supervision and Enforcement of the Agricultural Quarantine of Batam Romauli B Simatupang, given the increasing number of cows entering Batam ahead of Eid al-Adha 1444 Hijri. "This activity was carried out to prevent the spread of LSD disease in cattle when arriving in Batam and the inclusion of the disease carrier media of quarantined animals and OPTK (Organism for Quarantine Plantage), namely PMK disease," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 23. Activities are carried out by examining the suitability between quarantine certificates with the number of carrier media and the completeness of other requirements files. In its implementation, the Agricultural Quarantine party also does not work alone, involving the Police and port parties under surveillance. Tightening surveillance of animals, he continued, was also carried out on rabies infectious animals (cings, cats, apes and others). The animals were rejected to enter Batam if they were not accompanied by quarantine certificates from their area of origin. He explained the rabies disease is currently a highly wary Quarantine Animal Disease (HPHK), given several cases that are currently happening in several parts of Indonesia.

It was reported by the South Jakarta Food, Maritime and Agriculture Security Sub-dept. (KPKP) that fever and not wanting to eat in cattle were early symptoms of LSD or lato-lato. "One of the early symptoms of cows experiencing LSD is mild fever and not wanting to eat," said Head of the Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Section of the South Jakarta KPKP Sub-dept. Irawati Harry in Jakarta, Friday. In addition, he said, there was a lump on the surface of a bola-shaped cow's skin such as a lato-lato play tool. At first, the bump was small and slightly shaped, but if it was more severe it would spread throughout the body.
