Analysis of the Effectiveness of Animal Welfare Implementation in the Sheep Export Process to Malaysia Via Teluk Nibung Port

Abstract

In the process of exporting sheep to Malaysia, there are several stages that sheep must go through, starting from the pen to the destination (Malaysia). Sheep always interact and receive treatment from humans during the export process. This has the potential to cause suffering for sheep. Sheep are often only used as objects. These sheep deserve attention in terms of animal welfare. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the application of animal welfare principles carried out by each party involved in sheep exports to Malaysia through Teluk Nibung Port, Tanjungbalai City, North Sumatra Province from 2019-2022. The analysis used in this study is a descriptive analysis using the CIPP model evaluation approach (context, input, process, product). Exporters are suspected of several times not paying attention to the application of animal welfare. One example is a sheep that cannot stand and even the sheep's legs protrude from the wall of the transport vehicle during transportation. The application of animal welfare in the sheep export process was implemented effectively with a score of 26.4 or 62.92%.
