Types of livestock in industrial slaughterhouses
A- Heavy livestock
Heavy livestock includes cattle and calves. These animals will be slaughtered and their meat produced in carcasses and packaged.
B- Light trap
These livestock include sheep, goats and pigs, which after slaughter produce red meat of sheep and goats, and the resulting meat will be supplied in carcasses and packaged. Production of animal accessories such as offal, heart, liver, by-products and abomasum, skin and intestines will also be produced as by-products of the project, all of which are worth selling and consuming.
A look at the history of industrial slaughterhouses
If we look at the history of slaughterhouses, it can be seen that before slaughterhouses appeared in their present form and the slaughterhouses were concentrated in a certain place, every butcher sold his required livestock near his place and without observing the standards. Health officials were selling meat, which endangered the health of the townspeople. At first, governments, with the help of municipalities, built hygienic slaughterhouses, and then this was left to the private sector. But after a while, it became clear that the government needed to control and take over the slaughterhouses. It goes without saying that in some countries there are still private slaughterhouses, but their activities are carried out under the supervision of the meat inspection organization of that country, and control and inspection are carried out in the form of government slaughterhouses by competent veterinarians and inspectors. In Europe and the United States, street slaughter first became private slaughterhouses, but gradually gave way to industrial and cooperative slaughterhouses. At present, most slaughterhouses in developed countries have large industrial facilities and automatic methods that are managed cooperatively.
The management of cooperative slaughterhouses is the responsibility of a board appointed by the cooperative companies of the region or city, and all revenues will be transferred to the cooperative company’s account after deducting expenses according to special regulations. Today, one of the most important methods of supplying animal protein needed in the country is animal husbandry and supplementation of animal products. In this regard, the preparation of healthy red meat in industrial slaughterhouses is one of the most important processes of red meat production.
At present, prevention and health have found their rightful place in the world community and the health factor is considered as one of the important criteria for measuring the progress of the countries of the world. Construction and development of industrial slaughterhouses in the country is one of the most necessary measures to ensure the health and well-being of the community as well as the provision of healthy protein and health materials. Economic study of industrial slaughterhouses is more important than other industries Technically, it has become unknown and it has always been thought that it will not be an economic slaughterhouse unit, which is due to the lack of an exploitation system appropriate to the characteristics of the industry and not paying attention to the slaughterhouse ancillary industries. The industrial slaughterhouse, as a completely independent economic complex, buys livestock and after slaughtering and applying processes on meat and contaminants, sells its products.
According to the above, the objectives of the construction of industrial slaughterhouses can be stated as follows:
- Provision of meat and its delivery and other food items to the people in a hygienic manner and in accordance with the standards of the holy Sharia of Islam.
- Creating an industrial complex with full utilization that can guarantee the continuation of its work.
- Creating an industrial complex that is practically a missing link in the growth of the country’s livestock, especially in fertile areas. The construction of slaughterhouses in these areas as an effective factor in eliminating intermediaries and preventing losses due to damage to livestock farmers due to the transport of live cattle to distant population centers and a significant contribution to the livestock economy of each region.
- Job creation through the creation of low-level government industries.
- Observance of health rules reflected in the relevant authorities and existing standards.
- Establishing stability in the relevant market and expanding related industries such as animal husbandry, animal husbandry and forage production.
- Increase production capacity.
- Conversion of blood, fat and other wastes into consumable products and reduction of environmental pollution.
- Proper storage of meat, using packaging equipment and refrigeration facilities.
- Completing the meat production chain and achieving self-sufficiency.
- Concentrated killing and obtaining accurate statistics for future planning.
Introducing the applications of slaughterhouse products
Slaughterhouses can be classified into two groups in terms of use:
The first group: this group slaughters livestock and produces meat and its accessories and delivers them to the employer on a commission basis. This method of slaughterhouse use is limited and not widely used.
The second group: slaughterhouses that buy livestock and slaughter it and produce meat and other belongings and market their products.
Currently, many slaughterhouses use this method and the purpose of this project is the above method.
