Supply of Local Cattle Drops Ahead of 2026 Eid al-Adha in Malang City, Local Government Prepares Anticipation Measures
The availability of local cattle in Malang City ahead of Eid al-Adha 2026 is estimated to decline. This is due to breeders' strategy of holding back stock until closer to the peak of demand. Head of Dispangtan Kota Malang, Slamet Husnan, stated this phenomenon is an annual pattern that impacts price increases. The need for sacrificial animals in this city is relatively stable, around 2,000–2,500 head of cattle per year.
In anticipation of potential shortages, Dispangtan is partnering with companies to bring in cattle from outside the region, with a maximum import limit of 50% of the number of local cattle according to regulations. On the other hand, the Malang City Government is tightening supervision of the health of sacrificial animals to prevent Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).
Inspections are carried out from the sales location to the slaughter, involving around 500 students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Routine vaccinations are also continuously conducted in collaboration with the East Java Provincial Livestock Service, with Malang City still having zero FMD cases. Every animal entering must carry a Animal Health Certificate (SKKH), and if any indication of disease is found, it will be returned to its area of origin.
