Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The Bali regional government has set a quota of 60,000 cows for sale in its inter-insular trade to Jakarta in 2010, a regional animal husbandry official said.
"The quota is increased by 5,000 head compared with that in the previous year's 55,000 cows," Head of Bali's Animal Husbandry Service, Ida Bagus Alit said here on Tuesday.
He said that the quota was contained in the Bali governor's decree in an effort to keep the balance of cow population in the tourist resort island.
Alit said that besides the quota of 55,000 for 2009, the regional government had also decided to send another 4,000 cows to Jakarta to meet needs during Christmas and New Year festivities in the capital city.
Thus, Bali will in 2009 send a total of 59,000 cows. So, if compared with next year's quota, there would be an increase of 1,000 head only, he said.(*)
