‘ABATTOIR’ A HEALTHY MEAT PLANT IN THE CITY

Abstract

Health is our wealth. We must be concerned about the food we eat and where do we get out food from. One such essential food industry is the meat industry. In Nepal, the meat we get from the local Abattoirs is dirty, unchecked and full of diseases. We, the stakeholders don’t care about how the meat we are having is brought from the meat animals and how it is being brought into the market without a proper reviewed system. So, we must know about how the slaughter is being done inside our slaughterhouses, how the functioning of different areas takes place and how the produced wastes are being treated. People must be aware about the meat we are buying and what we are having as our food. This study sheds light on the different slaughtering process, the spaces layout and function inside the slaughterhouse. Not only that how a proper humane slaughter can be done respecting all the animal welfare guidelines is being presented in this study. The methodology being implied during this report involves: i) literature review and data collection from secondary sources like journals, news articles, books, research papers and internet websites. ii) national case studies on abattoir and data and information regarding it.
