Abstract

Background: Eid al-Adha is an annual Islamic celebration characterized by increased slaughter of sacrificial animals, highlighting the importance of veterinary inspection to ensure meat safety. Failure to inspect animals before and after slaughter may allow diseased animals, parasitic infections, and pathological organs to enter the human food chain, potentially increasing public health risks, including foodborne illnesses and zoonotic diseases.
Aims: This community service program aimed to improve sacrificial meat safety and community awareness through ante-mortem and post-mortem inspections in Ciasmara Village, Bogor Regency, Indonesia.
Methods: The activity was conducted on May 27, 2026, involving 18 sacrificial animals, comprising one goat and 17 sheep. The implementation consisted of coordination with local stakeholders, ante-mortem examination through physical assessment of animal health, slaughter supervision, and post-mortem examination of carcasses and internal organs. Evaluation was conducted by documenting clinical conditions, pathological findings, and the suitability of animals and their meat for consumption based on veterinary inspection findings.
Result: The results indicated that 17 animals were clinically healthy and suitable for slaughter, whereas one sheep exhibited mild Fasciola hepatica infestation in the liver. This finding demonstrates the importance of post-mortem inspection in detecting pathological conditions that may remain undetected during ante-mortem examination. The activity highlights the role of systematic veterinary inspection in preventing potentially hazardous animal-derived products from entering the food chain. Strengthening routine veterinary supervision, community education, and collaboration between veterinarians and local stakeholders is recommended to support safer sacrificial meat production and the implementation of the One Health approach.
