INTRODUCTION
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)

1.1 The Concept of Slaughter in Islam

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: All the raw materials and ingredients used must be Halal. Naturally Halal animals, such as cattle, goats etc. must be slaughtered according to Islamic rites, the rituals specified. 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. 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 by-products 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

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 Table 3-2 Population of livestock (million nos) Species 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 (E) Percentage slaughtered/ year 25.5 10.0 28.4 25.5 61.9 0.7 15.4 41.5 41.8 Data Not available

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.

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

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 by-products. 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. Physical differentiation through distinguishing own product in quality and appearance. Psychological differentiation through labeling, stamping, packing advertisement, salesmanship and sales promotion. Differentiation through its distinctive environment of pleasant surroundings, personal attention and improved services. Differentiation through physical distribution capabilities by making meat readily available at customers doorstep. Differentiation through pricing and terms of sales and services. Direct sale of meat in local preferably in Lahore (Small Animal)

The following type of services will be offered:-

PREF-35/September, 2007/Rev 2

Pre-Feasibility Study

Abattoir (Slaughterhouse)

And direct sale in international markets preferably UK(Large Animal) 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. 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. Table 7-1 Land Cost Land 2Acres Total Cost In Kanals 16 Cost in Rs. 12,800,000 /acre 25,600,000

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.

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) 14

PREF-35/September, 2007/Rev 2

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.

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.
