ESK will take the animals that are not sold in the qurban markets

Sacrificial animals brought to the markets but not sold due to Eid al-Adha will be purchased by the Meat and Milk Institution (ESK), the relevant institution of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

According to the Ministry’s statement, the IHC will make an additional premium payment to offset the costs, taking into account the transportation, maintenance and feeding expenses of the animals that cannot be sold, in addition to the current purchase prices.

It will suffice for breeders to submit an application to the nearest IHC combined addresses with their animal identification documents and an official reference report from the veterinarian at the slaughter point of sale for their unsold animals.

Detailed information on purchase and payment transactions will be posted on the IHC website.
