He explained all qurban animals were also ensured to be in a healthy condition so that they were halal and hygienic for public consumption. The animals' health had gone through a series of health checks in collaboration with the Jakarta Food Security, Maritime and Agricultural Agency (KPKP) and veterinarians.

"Qurban animals whose health has been checked will be given a mark to provide certainty for people who want to buy these animals," he explained.
