It is strictly regulated.
Urban goat-keeping in Indonesia is permitted only under stringent local ordinances, with legality hinging on municipal zoning, livestock density caps, and public health compliance. Jakarta’s Perda DKI Jakarta No. 8/2007 and Bandung’s Perda Kota Bandung No. 17/2012 impose breed restrictions, mandatory vaccination records, and proximity limits to residential zones. The 2026 draft Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan proposes stricter waste management protocols, requiring sealed manure storage systems for urban farms. Violations risk fines up to IDR 50 million or confiscation under Undang-Undang No. 18/2009 on livestock health.
Key Regulations for Keeping Goats in the City in Indonesia
-
Zoning Compliance: Local Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) ordinances typically classify goat-keeping as a “low-density agricultural activity,” restricting operations to designated Kawasan Pertanian Perkotaan (urban farming zones). Unauthorized locations may trigger penalties under Perda provisions.
-
Health and Biosecurity: Mandatory Sertifikat Kesehatan Hewan (animal health certificates) from the Dinas Peternakan dan Kesehatan Hewan are required, with annual brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease screenings. Urban farms must adhere to Keputusan Menteri Pertanian No. 22/2021 on biosecurity protocols.
-
Waste and Nuisance Controls: Local governments enforce Peraturan Gubernur on odor and noise limits, often capping herd sizes at 5–10 goats per 100 m². Non-compliance with manure disposal rules (e.g., Perda DKI Jakarta No. 3/2023) may result in operational shutdowns.
