The Mataram City Government in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), through the\nDepartment of Agriculture, has reported the latest findings regarding\ncases found in cattle slaughtered for Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijriah\/2026,\nrecording 105 cases of liver fluke (fascioliasis) and one case of liver\ncyst (hepatic cyst).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the latest data collected by the sacrificial animal\ninspection team during Eid al-Adha and the three days following Eid\nal-Adha, known as the Days of Tashriq,\u201d said Lalu Hapiludin, Head of the\nLivestock Division of the Mataram City Department of Agriculture, on\nTuesday.<\/p>\n
According to him, the total number of animal sacrifices conducted by\nthe community across mosques, Islamic boarding schools, schools, and\nprayer rooms in the six districts of Mataram in 2026 spanned 225\nlocations, involving 2,865 animals, consisting of 1,150 cattle and 1,715\ngoats.<\/p>\n
He noted that the discovery of liver fluke and liver cyst cases in\ncattle was relatively high, triggered by feeding factors. He explained\nthat grass provided in the early morning is often still covered in dew\nand wet, which can trigger bacterial growth. Additionally, the\ncleanliness of the livestock pens also plays a significant role.<\/p>\n
As a safety measure for the sacrificial meat, officials immediately\nperformed the elimination of the specific organs in cattle contaminated\nby liver flukes. Regarding liver cysts, he explained that they occur due\nto fluid sacs resulting from liver infections, usually located near the\ngallbladder, necessitating the removal of the entire liver organ.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, he added that healthy meat and other organs remain\nclassified as ASUH (Safe, Healthy, Intact, and Halal) and are fit for\ndistribution and public consumption.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mataram-city-government-105-liver-fluke-cases-found-in-sacrificial-animals-1780872960", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
