The study was conducted from July 2014 to February 2015 to document the existing waste management practices of slaughterhouses that are classified under Class A and Class AA in selected areas in Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to: determine the extent of compliance with PAES 411 and NMIS standards of selected Class A and Class AA slaughterhouses in Cavite; document the existing operational procedures and waste management practices observed; estimate the volume of waste produced by the slaughterhouse; and determine the use of the waste products from slaughterhouses.
Four different slaughterhouses have been observed, two slaughterhouses each for class A and class AA. The slaughterhouses were chosen according to availability and based on the list of the National Meat Inspection Service. Each slaughterhouse was surveyed to know their facilities, water consumptions, waste products and waste management. After observation, the slaughterhouses were compared to the Philippine Agricultural Engineering Standards.
For class A, the slaughterhouses in Tanza and Indang were observed. They both have a lair, scalding bath, water source, evisceration area, dehiding and dehairing area, gut removal room, and meat inspector office. They are both near the public market of their municipality which is not the proper site for slaughterhouses. The wastes that they produced are hair, hoof, wastewater from cleaning and scalding bath, and manure from lair and intestines. In terms of functional requirements, the level of compliance to PAGES 411 by the Tanza Municipal Slaughterhouse was 94 percent while the Indang Municipal Abattoir was 65 percent.
For class AA, GMA Abattoir and Trece Martires City Slaughterhouse were observed. They both produce waste products such as hair, hoof, manure and wastewater. Trece Martires City Slaughterhouse is now constructing a biogas plant to operate in May or June 2015. The slaughterhouse in GMA is planning to have a biogas plant. The GMA Abattoir has wastewater facility that includes sedimentation tank and wastewater filter. In terms of functional requirements, the GMA Abattoir and Trece Martires City Slaughterhouse have both 67.74 percent level of compliance to PAGES 411.
