The study was conducted to design a feasible operation system model for cattle and hog slaughtering operation that substantiated both the sole public and sole private slaughterhouses in Imus, Cavite. The researchers started the study in April 2013 at Imus Public Slaughterhouse and Imus Private Slaughterhouse (Jaro Development Corporation), both situated at Buhay na Tubig, Imus City, Cavite. They observed the individual operation system for cattle and hog slaughtering operation of both slaughterhouses, thus, distinguished their compliancy to the standards set by the local government agency of Cavite (NMIS), acquired vital information under operation analysis (operation purpose, manufacture sequence and process, and tools and equipment), as well as identified similarities and differences of the existing operation system utilized by the two slaughterhouses.
The descriptive-comparative method of research was used in this study. The participants of the study were the administration staff including the administrator, the meat inspector and the veterinarian, and the butchers of hog and cattle slaughtering operation. Primary data were obtained through interviews and evaluation forms that were given to the participants. The researchers used Descriptive Statistics (mode and weighted mean) and Paired t-test in order to analyze the data that were gathered.

The more efficient approach, either manual or mechanical, in every procedure in the cattle and hog slaughtering operation was then used in order to identify the optimal approach. For both cattle and hog slaughtering operation systems, the efficiency level of both manual and mechanical approach varied for every procedure. There was no definite trend which situated the dominancy of an approach, thus, both approach seen to be efficient but varied its impact for the total operation system. The identified optimal approaches were then accumulated to devise respective feasible operation system models that can be adapted by the public and private slaughterhouses in Imus, Cavite.

The findings of the study showed that both public and private slaughterhouse in Imus, Cavite conformed to the set cattle and hog slaughtering procedure standards. They did also have similarities and differences in terms of the approach they practiced inside the institution, hence, it founded that private slaughterhouse utilized mechanical approach on majority of its procedures, while public slaughterhouse utilized manual approach. The devised feasible operation system models for both cattle and hog slaughtering operation significantly substantiated the present conditions of both public and private slaughterhouse, thus, advantageous in securing their compliancy to standard slaughtering procedures set by the government concerning the proper and safe slaughtering practices.
