Cattle Wars
A meeting held last April among members of the Association of Meat Producers and Feedlot Indonesia at the association's office in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, ended in tumult. Calls were made to kick out members for introducing harmful fattening substances into their cattle feed. Executive Director Johny Liano said the growing rift was a serious one. "I have to neutralize this problem if I want the association to survive." he told Tempo on Thursday last week.
The Association of Meat Producers and Feedlot Indonesia (Apfindo) is an organization of breeders who import cattle feed from Australia. Their goal is to fatten cattle from 250 kilograms to 450 kilograms within a span of three to four months before they are slaughtered for sale.
