Updates to the Status of 13 Animal Diseases and Livestock Risk-Based Zoning under Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 287/KPTS/HK.150/M/04/2026

Introduction

On April 2, 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture (“MoA”) issued Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 287/KPTS/HK.150/M/04/2026 on the Amendment to Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 708/Kpts/PK.310/M/12/2024 on the Status of Animal Disease Situations ("MoA Decree 287/2026"). MoA Decree 287/2026 updates the status data of infectious animal diseases across the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and serves as a reference for businesses to monitor the movement of animals and animal products.

MoA Decree 287/2026 is based on epidemiological studies and animal disease risk analyses conducted from October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025. The recitals state that the development of Brucellosis is differentiated based on susceptible animal species, thereby necessitating an update to the infectious animal disease status data. This amendment serves as a basis for businesses to control animal diseases and monitor livestock movement.

Comparison

MoA Decree 287/2026 amends the Annex to Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 708/Kpts/PK.310/M/12/2024 on the Status of Animal Disease Situations ("MoA Decree 708/2024") by replacing the entire set of animal disease status data for each regency/city. The following table presents the comparison between MoA Decree 287/2026 and MoA Decree 708/2024:

Key Provisions

Amendment to the Disease Map Annex

Article I stipulates that the Annex to MoA Decree 708/2024 is amended by replacing the entire Annex. This provision serves as a reference for livestock and logistics businesses in assessing the animal disease status within their operational areas.

Monitoring of 13 Animal Diseases

The Annex contains the status data of 13 types of animal diseases across 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia. These thirteen diseases include:

1. FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease) (Penyakit Mulut dan Kuku, “PMK”);

2. LSD (Lumpy Skin Disease);

3. ASF (African Swine Fever);

4. Rabies;

5. HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza);

6. Brucellosis (B. abortus);

7. Brucellosis (B. melitensis);

8. Brucellosis (B. suis);

9. Anthrax (Anthraks);

10. CSF (Classical Swine Fever);

11. SE (Septicaemia Epizootica);

12. Jembrana Disease (Penyakit Jembrana); and

13. Surra.

The Annex categorizes Brucellosis into three types based on susceptible animal species and provides animal disease status data, including for ASF (African Swine Fever), FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease), and Anthrax, which serves as a reference for businesses in assessing disease conditions in areas relevant to their business activities.

National Epidemiological Map

The data in the Annex indicate differences in animal disease status across regions. The distribution details are as follows:

1. Red Zone (Predominantly Infected): The regions of Java Island and Sumatra Island are generally classified as infected zones for FMD and LSD.

2. Green Zone (Predominantly Free): The regions of Maluku Province, North Maluku, and all regencies/cities in the Papua region are classified as free from FMD and LSD.

These status differences serve as a consideration for businesses in determining livestock sources and distribution routes.

Closing

MoA Decree 287/2026 updates the status data of thirteen animal diseases across 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia by replacing the entire Annex to MoA Decree 708/2024. This amendment includes the categorization of Brucellosis into three types, namely Brucellosis (B. abortus), Brucellosis (B. melitensis), and Brucellosis (B. suis) based on susceptible animal species, as well as the adjustment of animal disease status data across regions, including for FMD and LSD. The data in the Annex also confirms the differences in animal disease status across regions, where Java Island and Sumatra Island are generally infected zones for FMD and LSD, while Maluku Province, North Maluku, and all regencies/cities in the Papua region are classified as free from both diseases. Consequently, this animal disease status data serves as a reference for businesses to assess conditions in areas related to their business activities, including in determining livestock sources and distribution.
