<p>The Kano State Government, through the Ministry of Health, has called on residents to ensure the health and safety of animals intended for sacrifice during the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebrations. This call was made to safeguard public health and prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases that may arise from unhealthy animals.</p><div class="OuN4OIdr" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Speaking on the matter, the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Abubakar Labaran Yusuf, emphasized the need for citizens to be vigilant and proactive by only purchasing and slaughtering animals that are certified healthy. He warned that certain diseases found in animals could be transmitted to humans, especially when the meat is not handled or prepared properly.</p>
<p>Dr. Yusuf further advised that special attention should be given to how the meat is cooked. According to him, ensuring thorough cooking of the meat is crucial in eliminating harmful microorganisms and pathogens that may be present in the animal. He particularly urged mothers and food handlers to take responsibility in this regard, as their actions are key in preventing food-borne illnesses.</p>

<p>In addition, the Commissioner stressed the importance of hygiene in meat preparation. He encouraged households to wash the meat thoroughly with clean water before cooking or storing it. This, he noted, is a basic but effective measure in reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring safe consumption.</p><div class="sTMHQ2kF" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
