Abattoir is a place designed for slaughtering animals, preparing and producing meat and animal products for human consumption and other usage. The current state of public abattoirs is horrible and distasteful. The people are more conversant of health implication of this ugly trend. The public are now looking for dependable agropreneurs that will run a private abattoir in a unique and standard manner. Running a private abattoir is still a goldmine yet to be tapped. Abattoir can be run on a small to large depending on available capital. Common animals being slaughtered in abattoirs include; Cattle, Sheep, Goats and Pigs. Anyone going into this business should not only produce but add value to the products. Processing is simply the future of agriculture “The common meat butcher in the open market buys a cow worth N 80,000 or N 100,000 and sells it in pieces making at least N 150,000 or more” He continued by giving detail analysis; 1Kg of Beef in Open market is N 1,000. The smallest adult cattle weighs minimum of 180kg live weight. After dressing, (removing the blood, bone, hide, intestine foods), it will remain minimum of 75% live weight. 75% of 180kg =135kg, Dressed weight. Since 1kg = N 1,000, therefore, 135kg = N 135,000. Some other revenue will also come from sale of Blood, Bone, Hides and ‘assorted meat’. ‘Assorted meat’ is N 1,400/kg. A cow has a minimum of 10kg ‘assorted meat’.for more in formation contact Sam 08020685390 email a slowpoke faded yahoo.com “
