AKARTA: In preparation of Idul Adha (Islamic Day of Sacrifice) the City administration began a campaign to inspect the medical condition of livestock that would be slaughtered as part of the celebration.
In South Jakarta, the municipality’s Animal Husbandry and Fishery Department has said it ran tests on dozens of livestock that were to be sold for the Idul Adha celebrations and found that none carried communicable diseases.
“We conducted physical examinations and also took blood samples for laboratory tests,” a veterinarian dispatched by the department, Eko Henry Wicaksono, said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
Eko said his team had looked for, among others, symptoms of anthrax.
The department has conducted tests at four locations — Jagakarsa, Mampang Prapatan, Kebayoran Lama and Pesanggrahan in South Jakarta.
Separately, head of the West Jakarta Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Department Kusdiana said that veterinarians from his department had conducted tests on 357 animals in Kalideres and Semanan in West Jakarta and found none to be sick. — JP
