The officers, including veterinarians and paramedical personnel, have been assigned across the country, Livestock and Animal Health Director General Agung Suganda said in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Suganda said monitoring covers animal health, veterinary public health, animal welfare and halal compliance, including slaughtering activities conducted outside licensed slaughterhouses.
The central government and regional administrations have also issued circulars and intensified public outreach for qurban committees ahead of the Islamic holiday.
Regional governments have deployed additional monitoring teams involving veterinary associations, livestock breeder groups and certified halal slaughterers.
Students from 14 veterinary schools are also participating in inspections and educating the public on hygienic slaughtering practices aligned with veterinary standards.
“God willing, the Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijri slaughtering process will proceed smoothly,” Suganda said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Agriculture Minister Sudaryono said Indonesia is facing a livestock surplus ahead of this year’s Eid al-Adha celebrations.
Available sacrificial livestock has reached about 3.2 million head, while national demand is estimated at 2.4 million head, leaving a surplus of roughly 800,000 animals.
The surplus reflects stable domestic supply conditions despite broader global uncertainty, Sudaryono said.
“There is a surplus of around 800,000 head, which shows the country remains in good condition,” he added.
