INTRODUCTION

1.1 TheConceptofSlaughterinIslam
I find not in the message received by me by
inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one
who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or
blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine, for it is an
abomination or, what is impious, (meat) on which a
name has been invoked, other than God's. But (even
so), if a person is forced by necessity, without
willful disobedience, or transgressing due limits,
thy lord is oft forgiving, most merciful.
(Al- Anam 145)
The Quran has numerous injunctions, instructing its followers to choose and
consume good and wholesome foodstuffs. Islam places a very strong emphasis on
cleanliness and hygiene in every sphere of life. As such, before performing our daily
prayers, ablution, as means of cleaning ourselves, is compulsory, and must be
performed in the correct manner. The concept of cleanliness is also extended to
matters, especially in context of food and drink.
Islam has introduced the concept of slaughter, whereby a naturally Halal animal
would have to be properly slaughtered prior to consumption. The act of slaughtering
is to ensure the quality of meat and to avoid any microbial contamination. For
example, a dead but unslaughtered animal is normally associated with disease.
Therefore, slaughtering is mandatory to ensure the complete drainage of blood from
the animal's body, thus minimizing the chance of microbial infection. This is
compatible with the overall concept of cleanliness that is always emphasized in
Islam.
To determine the Halal/Haram status of foodstuffs and other materials, Islam has laid
general guidelines on this matter, namely:
x All the raw materials and ingredients used must be Halal.
x Naturally Halal animals, such as cattle, goats etc. must be slaughtered according to
Islamic rites, the rituals specified.
x The act must be performed by a mentally sound Muslim, to sever the blood and
respiratory channels of the animal, using a very sharp cutting tool such as a
knife.
x The Halal ingredient must not be mixed, or even come into contact with Haram
materials, during storage, transport, cooking, serving, etc.
The production of Halal food is not only beneficial to Muslims, but also to nonmuslim food producers, by means of an increased market acceptance of their
products.

PROJECT BRIEF

2.1 Project Brief


The pre feasibility is about setting up a facility where farm animals are killed and
processed into meat products. The animals that will commonly slaughter for food are
cattle (beef & veal), sheep (lamb & mutton).This slaughter house will be set on
modern standards and promise to provide highly hygienic meat products for local
sales as well as for export purpose.
Total project cost is worked out to be 97.374 million, which includes the capital cost
of Rs.84.023 million and contingencies and working capital of Rs.13.351 million.
2.2 Project Scope
The subject feasibility study provides information about the investment opportunity
in an abattoir (Slaughterhouse). The abattoir will provide slaughtering and allied
services to the local traders, and butchers. However, some of its capacity will be
utilized for slaughtering animals for own supply of meat in the local as well as in the
international market, hence contributing towards earning foreign exchange for the
country.
The proposed project will also have the potential for further development of animal byproducts processing industry.
The slaughterhouse will be technically equipped for slaughtering cattle; sheep, goats etc.
will also have the potential for further operations such as by-product
processing/utilization, meat preservation, meat processing butchering and
development of meat market.

CURRENT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

There is a huge shortage of slaughter animals for meat supply. The animal growth
cycle needs a certain period to fill the gap made by slaughtered animals but rapid
increase in daily use, change in consumption patterns, use of more meat in food table
and economic up lift has increased the demand by many folds resulting in
slaughtering of premature animals, poor carcass quality and quantity wise and
increase in price. If this practice continued, there would be a huge gap between
supply and demand, forcing the import of meat at large scale. At present small
ruminant are mainly coming from the range/rain fed areas where feed resources are
not sufficient to bear the animal production requirements. So, most of the cases
range areas are either over crowded or with out grazing systems, resulting in poor
nutrients supply to animals and damage to rangelands themselves. The disappearance
of desirable fodder species and propagation of unwanted plants make this situation
worsened for future also.
The 3 slaughterhouses present in Lahore (Kot Kumboh, Shahdrah and Baghbanpura)
are meeting the only 75% of daily requirements and rest of meat is slaughtered at
different areas illegally. Now it is need of time that if public sector can not meet the
changing trade scenario and export standards (as evident from many reports), the
private sector should be developed for this purpose. The loans to set modern abattoir
5

Pre-Feasibility Study

Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

with hygienic production facilities should be granted on easy terms. Furthermore,


the Sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS, 1994) Agreement also demands under the
Uruguay Agreement, to define rules for setting national standards and regulations
relating to sanitary and phytosanitary measures to protect human or animal health
from specific risks, including risks arising from animal diseases and food safety.
Under this act more stress was given on animal health than food safety.
3.1 Export of Meat
The export of meat from Pakistan is relatively a new segment of countrys trade, as
the real commercial level export started in not before than. Thus, the export of meat
and meat preparation is not so high; but the export growth rate is quite encouraging.
Pakistan owns a large inventory of livestock, which determines a large size of meat
exports in future. So, meat export is bound to be a good contributor to Pakistans
foreign exchange in the years ahead. In year 2000-01, the export of beef was 715
metric tons (value 1.1 Million US $) whereas 3303 metric tons of mutton (value 5.8
million US $).
Despite an increase in meat production, the prices have moved upward abnormally.
The recent increase in meat prices is attributed to the export of live animals or meat
to the Middle East and Afghanistan. The country, though rich in livestock, rarely got
a chance to export meat or meat products to earn foreign exchange. It was offered an
opportunity when various Middle East states stopped importing meat from European
countries due to the incidence of the mad cow disease. Meat export from Lahore
started in the beginning of the year 2000 when carcasses of goats and large animals
were airlifted. The meat was processed under a special arrangement between the
exporters and the Metropolitan Corporation of Lahore, which runs four abattoirs in
the city.
The exports of livestock such as cow, buffalo, sheep and goat are finding their way to
the Gulf States, Iran and Afghanistan where there is a shortage of good quality meat,
hence fetches a high price.

3.2 Meat Markets


Currently, meat sector in Pakistan is working on an informal basis from animal
raising to meat selling. Animal traders purchase animals from the rural areas and sell
them to the animal markets in the urban areas. Butchers purchase these animals from
animal markets and slaughter them in the slaughterhouses. Butchers act as meat
traders and dominate the meat market both in rural and urban areas. The animals sold
in these markets are generally diseased and culled animals. Butchers/traders prefer to
buy these cheap animals. Pakistan is one of the cheapest beef producers in the world
as the live weight value per kilogram is lowest in the world because of the cheap raw
materials available.
3.3 Opportunity Rationale
Pakistan is situated along both sides of the historic Indus River, following its course
from the mountain valleys of the Himalayas down to the Arabian Sea. It shares
borders with India, China, Afghanistan and Iran. Its 796,095 square kilometer
territory includes a wide variety of landscapes, from arid deserts to lush green
valleys to stark mountain peaks. The estimated human population is 153. 96 million
with annual growth rate of 2.9 %. Of the total population, 65.9 % live in rural areas.
Punjab is the most populated of the 4 provinces, having 56% of the countrys
population while Sindh (23%), NWFP (16%) and Balochistan (5%) provinces share
the rest. Agriculture is the mainstay of Pakistans economy. Livestock sector
contributes almost 50 percent to the value addition in the agriculture sector, and
almost 11 % to Pakistans GDP, which is higher than the contribution made by the
crop sector (47.4% in agriculture and 10.3 % in GDP). The role of livestock sector in
the rural economy of Pakistan is very critical. The livestock population and
production for the last five years are given in Tables

3.4 Per Capita Availability of Meat


Per capita availability of meat is 12 kg, most of which is from buffalo and cattle. It
may, however, be mentioned that population statistics and statistics on the
availability of products from various sources differ drastically. To meat the domestic
demand of meat, the rate of growth must be at least 5-7 % per annum.
The demand of livestock food products is growing fast because Pakistan's human
population is increasing at the rate of 2.9 per cent annually. If population pressure
continues to grow and livestock production stays at the same level, then food deficit may
become larger. According to one recent survey, in coming years, milk, red meat and
poultry meat deficit will be 9.72, 0.17 and 0.14 million tonnes if our livestock
production stays at the same level.
Therefore there is need of establishment of slaughterhouse facilities of a sufficiently
high standard but still simple would improve the situation. Therefore, this prefeasibility study has been made of a medium size slaughterhouse equipped with
medium level semi mechanized technology. By providing value added services, the
slaughterhouse can utilize the abundant and unexplored resources of Pakistan.

4.1

THE CURRENT SLAUGHTERING PRACTICES


Public Sector

For carrying out study of present slaughtering practices Lahore market has been
selected. In Lahore, there are four slaughterhouses owned and managed by
Municipal Corporation Lahore (MCL) at Kot Kamboh, Baghbanpura and Shahdara
with Slaughtering capacity for 6,700 small and 610 large animals. This capacity is
sufficient for meeting only 75% meat requirement of the city. The remaining 25% is
being supplied from outside the city, and by illegal slaughtering.

Indeed the present premises are fairly old structures, had been built several years
ago, and at when a time municipal engineering and public health requirements were
less stringent and different from those prevailing now. These slaughterhouses handle
the bulk of public slaughters, and as such, they are not slaughterhouse but can be
referred to as slaughter slabs merely a place for slaughter with no proper
8

Pre-Feasibility Study

Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

arrangement of hygiene and sanitation. These premises merely make facilities


available for use by butchers and traders (not licensed) for the slaughter of livestock at
fee of Rs. 10 per small animal and Rs.20 per large animal.
No storage facility and sufficient quality control measures are available there. Most of
the times, Meat gets rotten especially in summer season. This problem is
intensified while the meat is sold through the butchers shops to final customers. All the
meat is not sold to customers in daytime, and not all the unsold meat is frozen to keep it in
hygienic condition.
The primitive conventional fashion slaughtering results in wastage and damage to byproducts. There is also lack of essential allied facilities. The prevailing conditions are
discouraging for the export of meat and meat by-products.
4.2

Private Sector Modern Abattoirs

There is only one modern abattoir working in private sector in the whole province of
Punjab. It is semi mechanized and has minimum required facilities for export of meat
in Middle East countries. It is located near Mureedka on Mureedka
Shiekhupura road currently this slaughterhouse can process 500 small animals per day.
Another slaughterhouse is situated at Kot -Lakhpat, which has only a chiller and no
slaughtering and de-skinning facilities. These slaughterhouses have insufficient capacity
to fulfill the local and international demand for meat.

MARKETING

The proposed slaughterhouse will identify and develop such services and products that
will help to cater the unfulfilled market for quality meat and its by-products in an
effective and efficient manner on the following grounds:
The slaughterhouse, duly equipped with modern facilities and hygienic standards,
can carve a niche in the existing market through properly defined segments and
create a competitive strength over municipality-owned and managed
slaughterhouses. This unique marketing position can be attained through formulation
an adequate marketing mix. The slaughterhouse can achieve differential competitive
advantage by.
x Physical differentiation through distinguishing own product in quality and
appearance.
x Psychological differentiation through labeling, stamping, packing advertisement,
salesmanship and sales promotion.
x Differentiation through its distinctive environment of pleasant surroundings,
personal attention and improved services.
x Differentiation through physical distribution capabilities by making meat readily
available at customers doorstep.
x Differentiation through pricing and terms of sales and services.
The following ty pe of services will be offered:x Direct sale of meat in local preferably in Lahore (Small Animal)
9

Pre-Feasibility Study

Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

x And direct sale in international markets preferably UK(Large Animal)


x Slaughtering services to local butchers and traders (Slaughtering and chilling
services to exporters, to fill the gap of capacity.
The financial model of this business plan depicts the picture of product mix of the
above options. The prices of services have been taken at current/prevailing market
and there is a margin to decrease prices of services offered.
The decision of selecting the distribution channel will be based on the identification of
target market.
For local market, the slaughterhouse can target the needs of health conscious people
through departmental stores, chain stores, other retail outlets, but in the initial stage,
opening of own retail outlet is not recommended, because it will require investment and
specialized skills of retailing business. It is planned to distribute 30 refrigerators to
major departmental stores of Lahore filled with product free of cost, and a margin of 5%
will be offered to shop keepers on selling each product
Foreign contracts can be obtained with the assistance of Export Promotion Bureau
(EPB). The management of EPB is already working on it to facilitate the export of
meat. The slaughterhouse can also serve the existing meat exporters.

CAPACITY

The capacity of the proposed slaughterhouse is 900 small (goats) and 300 large
(cattle) animals per day. The capacity utilization varies depending on the staff
efficiency and availability of animals.

PREMISES AND SITE FOR SLAUGHTERHOUSE

Slaughterhouse Premises
Modern abattoirs have a proper abattoir design, equipment and services. Proposed
abattoirs will be operated on industrial lines like a process type industry with a wide
range of services featuring cold storage, processing, proper byproduct utilization and
waste management activities.
7.1

7.2

Site Selection

Slaughterhouses should be situated at a distance from the residential areas. This is to


prevent possible inconvenience to the residents, either by way of pollution from
slaughter wastes or by way of nuisance from noise or stench/smell. For this report we
are proposing a place in Raiwind, Lahore.
Conversely, remote location secures the premises from contact and likely
contamination from residential units close by. Nevertheless, some proximity to the city
or town should be maintained to take advantage of vital services such as power and
water supplies.
Another feature of the area selected is that it must be open, treeless and with air
currents to provide for natural lighting and ventilation as dark environments can
cause lapses in hygiene while stagnant air can induce growth of germs on meat and
meat handling equipment. Trees also attract birds, which are agents of
contamination.
Slaughterhouse premises near waterlogged areas must be avoided. Evidently, such
sites can raise sanitation problems as in the breeding of mosquitoes and stagnation of
wastes. Where possible, the location of the plant should be made at a higher
elevation relative to the surroundings.
Location near watercourses or inland bodies of water such as rivers, lakes and
lagoons is also inadvisable. This is to avoid the temptation of discharging wastes into the
waters with consequent pollution and cross-contamination of the premises. Liquid
waste can, however, be discharged into these waters provided it is treated and rendered
safe for aquatic life or for humans using the waters.
7.3

Land and Building

Slaughter house will be built on the area of 2 Acres / 16 Kanals or 72,000 sq. ft. The
details of land utilization are given in below.

7.4 Materials for Construction and Installation


The general principle regarding the choice of materials for constructing and
equipping slaughterhouse is that the materials must be durable and be able to resist
deterioration or destruction from external influences such as the weather, air, steam,
water and insects. This means that materials such as swish; wood, thatch and
corrugated iron are undesirable. Instead, brick, stone, reinforced concrete, asbestos, tile
and slate should be used.
For the operating chambers, materials used must not be pervasive to water and blood or
stained by fat; glazed tile or a hard smooth material should be used for the walls to
facilitate cleaning and prevent absorption of moisture and fat. A similar principle
should apply to the selection of equipment for the chambers; stainless steel,
galvanized metal and aluminum are good choices for metal fittings or furnishings
while plastics may suit containers and working surfaces.

8.1

OPERATIONAL PROCESSES
Lairage

The animal should be given rest for at least 12-18 hours before slaughtering and only
water should be given to it in this process.
8.2 Slaughtering
Slaughters are done manually. The animal being cast down is laid on its back, while the
neck vessels and passages (esophagus and trachea) are severed by a single slash of a
sharp knife. Bleeding proceeds to completion.

Req. Area per small animal is 15 sq.ft, per large animal is 50 sq.ft,( 2 days animals in stock)

13

Pre-Feasibility Study

Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

8.3 Bleeding
Slaughtered animals must be positioned first for bleeding. A vertical or hanging
position is achieved by shackling below the hock of one hind leg and hoisting the
animal (head down) to a convenient height. Alternatively, the animal can be placed
horizontally on a concrete slab or a sturdy plastic pallet for bleeding.
Hoist bleeding is more hygienic and is recommended. It also facilitates collection of
blood for further use.
8.4

Skinning

It is removing the skin of animals. Skinning will be done in hanging position with
facilities/equipment of railing, the individual carcasses one after another.
8.5

Eviscerating

The next step is to cut open the animal body to dislodge the contents and produce the
carcass. It is important that the carcass remains or is placed in the hanging position
on railing.
8.6 Post-mortem Inspection
Inspection will be carried out by professional veterinarians and public health
inspectors are to be employed, as it is required by the MCL. (Provision of their
salaries has been provided in the financial analysis). Their duty is to examine the
slaughter products for evidence of disease and abnormality and reject/eliminate them
from the public meat supply.
8.7

Rigor Mortis process

Before chilling, for at least 2-4 hours, air is provided by fans to carcasses in a
separate room.

HUMAN RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

It is essential to provide adequately trained staff to carry out the above processes and
improve slaughter hygiene and meat quality, reduce raw material losses, increase
utilization of by-products, and thereby increase profitability. To meet this objective,
proper training is required for the meat workers who are to operate these facilities.
The type of personnel needed and their cost is given in financial analysis.

10 FACILITIES, EQUIPMENTS AND TOOLS


10.1 Water and Drainage
The slaughterhouse must have a dependable source of clean water, preferably
pipeborne, to maintain hygienic and sanitary services in the plant. The water must
be well distributed in terms of point-location inside the premises and must be hot, if
possible, for hygienic washing of products and facilities.

slaughterers will be paid Rs.300, on per animal basis

16

Pre-Feasibility Study

Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

It would be useful, to install a reservoir or tank on the premises as a security against


shortages and breakdown of pumps.
Drainage of water is one of the main considerations in any slaughterhouse. All
washings or wet cleaning must course over the slaughter floor into a collecting
drainage and empty eventually outside the building. The floor should be designed to
slope toward the main collecting drain, the latter in turn to slope toward exterior
connecting pipes. The walls must have a hard smooth surface to prevent staining
with blood and fat and hence facilitate cleaning; on the other hand, the floor must be
rough or grooved to forestall slipping.
10.2 Lighting and Ventilation
Lighting is another important requirement of the slaughterhouse. Electricity
connection will be obtained from WAPDA, but a diesel generator is provided for
emergency supply of electricity. Transparent insets can also be made in the roofing at
vantage points to provide natural lighting or sky lighting. Wide lintel windows (e.g.
aluminum frame), covered with gauze to exclude insects, also serve the same purpose,
as well as provide ventilation.
10.3 Equipment
The standard installation and equipment required in modern slaughterhouse are those
necessary to effect a rapid and hygienic conversion of livestock into meat.

10.4.1 Skinning Knife


As the name implies, this knife is used for the removal of the animal's skin. Also
with a six-inch blade and characteristically curved backwards to allow for ease of
operation, it can be used to scrape off burned hair from carcasses being dressed with
the skin-on.
10.4.2 Meat Saw
A replaceable blade handsaw, which is used in sawing through bone.
10.4.3 Meat Chop:
Also called the cleaver, the meat chop is a heavy axe used for separating heavy
structures, e.g. the head from the neck or the shanks from the leg.
10.4.4 Spreader:
A metal device for suspending the animal body and spreading out the legs for
dressing and inspection.
10.4.5 Grinding and Honing Stones:
Grinding stones are coarse grained and used for the initial sharpening of knives into
thin edges, and then finished with the homer, which is of fine-grain to provide extra
thinness. Either oil or water may be used in sharpening knives to prevent the stone
from heating the knives.
10.4.6 Steel:
A long, tapering rounded and smooth metal rod on which knives are smoothened
from time to time to improve keenness.
10.4.7 Meat Tree/Hooks:
Metal devices with bent-out curved ends for holding or displaying parts of the
slaughtered meat and offal for washing and inspection.
The pictures of the slaughtering tools are shown in the following Figure 10-1.
