During the period of Eid al-Adha, the intensity of slaughter of ewes in slaughterhouses in Indonesia, especially for small and medium industries such as lamb satay stalls, also increased. This is closely related to the reduced number of rams for being slaughtered to sacrifice.

“To overcome the reduction of female lambs of productive age that are slaughtered in Eid al-Adha, we conducted research on the relationship between age and weight of carcasses and noncarcas in female sheep. From the study, we recommend that female sheep can be slaughtered at the age of over 1 year with weights above 15 kg,” said Dr. Ir. Endy Triyannanto, S.Pt., M.Eng, IPM when contacted Monday (22/10) at the UGM Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) campus. read more

The livestock that is kept includes cows, bulls, goats, and sheep, while for poultry there are free-range chicken, duck, and goose. There is a common problem in animal breeding, which is nutrient deficiencies and parasites. One of the deficient nutrients is protein. Meanwhile, the dominant parasites in goats and sheep are Haemonchus contortus and Coccidia worms.
