Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) Regulation Number 13/2019 sets new requirements for animal-based feed ingredient imports. The regulation applies to all feed ingredients derived from poultry and ruminants.

The regulation specifies country of origin animal health requirements and outlines registration procedures for both production facilities and trans-loading facilities. A translation of the regulation is attached, and below is a summary and analysis of the most important points, according to a GAIN report.

MOA must approve all countries of origin. However, Article 52 notes that a country of origin previously designated as approved to export to Indonesia will retain its approved status. Thus, as a currently approved supplier of animal-based feed ingredients, the United States will not be required to undergo another animal health risk assessment and will retain its approved status.

Article 10 states that ruminant feed ingredients must be from countries free from Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and have negligible BSE risk or controlled BSE Risk. Ruminant products from a country infected with FMD must undergo an inactivation and recontamination prevention process. Ruminant products from a country with controlled BSE risk status must not contain any Specified Risk Material (SRM). Animal-based feed ingredients from poultry must be from a country free of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) or undergo HPAI virus inactivation and recontamination prevention process.
