The recently appeared in Yogyakarta, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo responded quickly. He instructed veterinarians and extension workers to check livestock and take preventive measures by injecting antracese vaccine.

"This is exactly at the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta. Karanganyar Village in Sukoharjo is tight (bordering) with Semin Village in Gunung Kidul. So of course we are on guard. Yesterday the disaster occurred there (Yogyakarta) and we were alert, so we asked our cows to be checked," said Ganjar Pranowo when he saw the Antraks vaccination of livestock in Karanganyar Village, Weru District, Sukoharjo Regency, Tuesday 11 July.

In addition to seeing the injection of vaccines to cattle, Ganjar also had a dialogue with residents of Karanganyar Village, especially those who have cattle. Ganjar said he was happy because in the dialogue he met a woman who owned cattle who knew very well about the disease in her livestock.

"I'm very happy that there was a cow owner, it turns out that the elderly women understand the condition of the cow. He understands that the cow has PMK, he understands the characteristics of the cow if it has an anti-extraction disease, so it will be reported immediately," he said.

According to Ganjar, community activity is very important. What the owner of the cattle in Karanganyar Village did is an example of good anticipatory steps. When the cow owner finds out that the livestock are indicated to be sick, he should immediately report and ask for inspection.

"There are quite a number of veterinarians from the government, quite a lot, as well as the village government. If that can be done then we will quickly handle it, all are invaded by teams from veterinarians, extension workers for then they come and get vaccinated," explained Ganjar.

Ganjar explained that so far there have been no reports of anti-extraction disease in animals in Central Java. However, early prevention has been carried out by giving vaccines to livestock.

"Alhamdulillah, until today in Central Java there has been no report, we prevent it as early as possible. We remind that because these anti-extractions can be transmitted to humans, humans are careful. Their lifestyle must also be treated. So now we will attack them so that they can be comprehensive to our livestock," said the governor for two periods.

In addition, Ganjar also reminded residents of the dangers of slaughtering dead animals and then consuming them. "So we ask the extension team to convey such a danger. We also don't know what the meat was like when they were slaughtered," said Ganjar.
