Hundreds of Palu City Cattle Cleared for Qurban Sacrifice

Palu City’s Agriculture and Food Security Agency has conducted health inspections on sacrificial animals at multiple livestock holding and sales locations across the city. The checks ensure that animals sold and prepared for the community meet health standards and are suitable for Qurban. Six inspection teams were deployed to check 11 livestock holding sites spread across Palu. The health checks ran from 21 to 22 May 2026, with 460 cattle inspected by the second day. The agency noted some holding locations may still be unaccounted for in the initial phase and has instructed all village heads to report local Qurban animal holding sites to broaden oversight. ‘This step ensures thorough and maximum health inspections,’ said Palu DPKP Head Lukman on Saturday (23 May). Most cattle at holding sites were declared healthy and fit for sacrifice based on evaluations. Current checks are ante-mortem, conducted before slaughter. Post-slaughter, the agency will perform additional ante-mortem checks and post-mortem examinations during Eid al-Adha and the following three days to ensure meat safety. The initiative is part of Palu City Government’s commitment to providing safe, healthy, whole, and halal (ASUH) sacrificial meat, ensuring a secure and comfortable Qurban experience for the public.
