During this time, he continued in the supervision of sacrificial animals, officers had not found a dangerous disease. As for most diseases found during examination of sacrificial animals such as diarrhea, and disability in the form of broken horns, sprained legs and others.
Regarding whether there is a plan for his party to hold a sacrificial animal exchange, Djoestamadji said there were none.
