Modernization of deonar abattoir

Abstract

A review of the slaughterhouses in use today shows that new techniques are required to solve the various issues that they are currently facing, which include environmental problems, religious and social conflicts, health hazards, unsystematic management, etc. The review is based on various case studies that were analyzed so as to provide them with the best possible solutions for development and improvisation. The concept of abattoirs (slaughterhouses) has been studied from scratch, right from the history of slaughterhouses, as to how they came into being, why they were needed, how they developed and how they are currently, to the lowdown of the global meat industry and the Indian meat industry. Owing to varying contexts, the meat industry in India and abroad has numerous differences, though they were rooted from the same seeds. A study between the two depicts the level of improvement that needs to be achieved in India.
