The Feast of Tabaski, a family moment, sharing, a moment of communion. Let's live this great holiday in joy and healthMany diseases can be transmitted from animal to man by touching it or consuming meat or product of a sick animal. It is for this reason, in this period of sheep festival that we must protect ourselves and our families by applying certain simple measures such as:
- Immolate sheep that show no apparent signs of disease
- Immolate the sheep in a clean place to avoid contamination of the meat
- Use clean equipment for meat slicing and handling
- Observe the inner parts of the sheep such as intestines, liver, lungs in search of any abnormalities. In case of any doubt, avoid consuming it without prior advice from a veterinarian.
