Banyuwangi Rushes FMD Vaccination and Tightens Livestock Traffic Control Ahead of Eid al-Adha

The Banyuwangi Regency government is intensifying its efforts to control Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in livestock ahead of Eid al-Adha celebrations. Efforts are focused on accelerating vaccination, monitoring livestock traffic, and enhancing surveillance at several key points. By the end of April, over 19,000 animals had been vaccinated. Head of Animal Health and Veterinary Community Affairs, Dr. Nanang Sugiarto, stated that the vaccination target will be completed by the end of May. Vaccination efforts will be particularly ramped up just before Eid al-Adha. Banyuwangi has received a total of 27,000 doses of FMD vaccine in two allocation phases. In addition to vaccination, supervision of interregional livestock traffic and distribution is being tightened. Every livestock moving into or out of the area must have a confirmed FMD vaccination status. Health checks on sacrificial animals are also being gradually increased starting from 30 days before Eid (H-30) up to 14 days before (H-14), covering livestock markets and supplier pens, with quarantine measures implemented where necessary. https://kabarbaik.co/jelang-idul-adha-banyuwangi-kebut-vaksinasi-pmk-dan-perketat-lalu-lintas-ternak/
