USEFULNESS OF PUBLIC SLAUGHTERHOUSES

• Centralised slaughter is helpful for achieving hygienic wholesome meat with less environmental pollution and with optimum collection of byproducts. 
• Better and efficient antemortem inspection and postmortem examination can be performed. 
• Slaughtering and dressing of animals is performed under sanitary conditions.
• Identification of diseases of zoonotic importance.
• Prevention of fraudulent substitution.
• Implementation of slaughter operation procedures, rules, regulations  and acts will be easier.
• Meat of assured wholesomeness only will be made available for public consumption.
• Ensures economic handling of the by-products including hides, offals, glands, blood and condemned material leading to reduction on overheads on buildings, equipment and labour.
