1. Introduction
Slaughter houses are an integral part of densely populated places especially in city areas. Keeping in view of increasing demand of meat products, facilities of slaughter house shall have to be kept modern and hygienic. Slaughtering animals on a large scale poses significant logistical problems and public health concerns with public aversion to meat packing in many cultures influencing the location of slaughterhouses. Hygiene of slaughter house is very important to prevent contamination of meat and to improve customer satisfaction. Meat can be easily contaminated and it causes serious health hazards. At the same time slaughtering of animals generate large amount of waste products like animal tissues, bones, organs, non edible offal like lungs, large intestine etc. The average quantity of unusable wet solid waste produced by slaughtering is estimated as 12 Kg per cattle. Present waste disposal system causes increased environmental impact. The existing practices in most of the slaughter houses and chicken stalls are to dispose the waste in its compound unscientifically or into rivers, water bodies or streams. Almost all bridges and culverts connecting to Pamba River and its branches are the major points of waste disposal. Additionally, the indisposed wastes of slaughter house compound become feed of the birds. The remains left there cause serious environmental pollution. Lack of appropriate slaughtering facilities and unsatisfactory techniques cause unnecessary losses in meat as well as in valuable by-products. Animals are slaughtered in places which are frequently polluted with blood, intestinal contents and dirty effluents, and which are not protected against insects, rodents and dogs. Meat produced under such conditions will quickly deteriorate due to the bacterial load and could cause food poisoning.
In the absence of inspection, meat from sick or parasite infested animals may well be a vector for spreading diseases affecting human beings as well as animals. Furthermore, meat quality is adversely affected by careless handling under unsanitary conditions in the meat market or shops. In addition, by-products are not properly utilized and, instead of being an asset, are considered as a nuisance. By establishing slaughter house of sufficiently high standard, but still simple and inexpensive, would improve the situation. Therefore, the construction of a small- scale modern slaughterhouse - which will meet the environmental and legal requirements, is an

immediate necessity. Slaughterhouses are a key element in the meat production and its distribution chain, but it is also essential to provide adequately trained staff to improve slaughter hygiene and meat quality, reduce raw material losses, increase utilization of by- products, and thereby increase profitability and financial returns to the livestock producers. Thus a proper mechanism for solid waste and waste water treatment is highly significant. Even though Tiruvalla Municipality has a slaughter house in its region, it is not properly managed or maintained. The carcasses and remains of slaughtered animals produce serious environmental hazards to the nearby dwellers and especially to MACFAST family. At the same time, college has taken series of initiatives to curb this environmental pollution which Municpality is well aware of. In the recent past the condition of slaughter house is becoming more pathetic that creates alarming health hazards and disturbances to the community. In this back ground, MACFAST authorities intend to undertake the slaughter house on a ‘Built Operating Transfer’ (BoT) basis. As per the guidelines of Prevention of Cruelty To Animals (Slaughterhouse Rules) 2001: “Animals not to be slaughtered except in recognized or licensed houses - (1) No person shall slaughter any animal within a municipal area except in a slaughter house recognized or licensed by the concerned authority empowered under the law for the time being in force to do so.” Further the Rules define the slaughterhouse and slaughter as under: "Slaughter house" means a slaughter house wherein 10 or more than 10 animals are slaughtered per day and is duly licensed or recognized under a Central, State or Provincial Act or any rules or regulations made there under. Where as slaughter means the killing or destruction of any animal for the purpose of food and includes all the processes and operations performed on all such animals in order to prepare it for being slaughtered. Thus according to the prevalent laws a modern and scientific slaughterhouse is mandatory for all municipal/ local administrative bodies where more than 10 animals are slaughtered in a day

3.3. Waste Management
MACFAST will follow the strategy of segregated collection and source reduction. Waste will be disposed at the source itself and used for energy production. Broadly, wastes in slaughter house can be divided into two; viz: solid and liquid. Solid waste is the main waste product from slaughter house. It can be divided in to two, namely edible and inedible. Inedible materials are to be disposed appropriately to prevent contamination of the environment and constituents thereof from its discharge, deposition, injection, dumping and spillage. Solid wastes can be converted into energy or recovered as bi – products.
3.3.1. Biogas plant and Aerobic Compost System
It has the capacity to process around 700 - 750 kg solid waste per day. This can be treated in a bio gas plant with 50m3 capacity. The generated bio gas will be used for lighting/cooking/heating purpose of the slaughter house.
3.3.2. Equalization Tank for Waste Water Collection
To avoid leakage and environmental contamination waste water will be treated/managed scientifically. About 10m3 per day of effluent is generated from this modern slaughter house. This waste water will be treated through anaerobic treatment followed by dispersion trench. This can be also used for bio gas generation.
3.4. Other Facilities
3.4.1. Fresh – Meat and Fish Products Outlet
This ‘Modern meat and fish product Outlet’ supplies fresh meat and fish at wholesale price. To avoid contamination, all the meat products will be kept and preserved in modern facilities. Customers can buy fresh or stored meat products as per their needs. It also offers home delivery service.
