Abstract:

The aim of this work was to benchmark the rate of pH and temperature decline in lamb carcasses (particularly the temperature at pH 6.0) at 3 commercial abattoirs across New South Wales. In total, 1197 carcasses were monitored over 13 months for pH and temperature decline. The lambs were sourced from a variety of regions, either direct from the paddock or from sale yards. Carcass weight was not significantly (P>0.05) different between abattoirs or seasons. There was a significant (P<0.05) interaction between abattoir and season for carcass fat depth at the 12th rib (GR) when adjusted to the same hot carcass weight, such that as carcass weight increased so did GR with changes in the relationship between seasons and abattoirs. The predicted pH at 3 h was significantly different between abattoirs, with abattoirs A and B having a significantly (P<0.05) higher pH than abattoir C. All abattoirs were different (P<0.05) for predicted temperature at 3 h, with abattoir A having the lowest and C having the highest temperature. Predicted pH at both 25 and 18°C were significantly different (P<0.05) between abattoirs, with abattoir C having the lowest and abattoir A having the highest pH at both temperatures. Abattoir A and B were not different for predicted temperature at pH 6.0, but abattoir C had a significantly higher temperature (P<0.05). Over all abattoirs only 18.8% of sampled carcasses complied with the recommended pH–temperature window of 18–25°C at pH 6.0. Of the carcasses sampled, 79.4% had a slow rate of pH decline and did not reach the onset of rigor (pH 6.0) by 18°C.

Abstract:

The airborne bacterial load of two abattoirs, private and government abattoirs in Benin City was studied using the settled plate methods. The air samples were collected during and after slaughtering operations in the two abattoirs monthly for a period of six months, between October, 2011 and March, 2012. The temperature and relative humidity of the two abattoirs were determined during each sampling time. The plasmid DNA profile of the isolated airborne bacterial was determined using the alkaline lysis method. The temperature reading ranged between 25 0C and 34 0C in the private abattoir and between 26 0C and 35 0C in the government abattoir. The relative humidity reading ranged between 46 % and 67 % in the private abattoir and between 34 % and 65 % in the government abattoir. The mean airborne bacterial counts on nutrient agar and blood agar in the private abattoir ranged from 17.55 x 102 ± 3.77cfu/m3 to 108.0 x 102 ± 10.35cfu/m3 during slaughtering and 12.84 x 102 ± 1.51 cfu/m3 to 49.71 x 102 ± 3.61 cfu/m3 after slaughtering. The mean airborne bacterial counts on nutrient agar and blood agar in the government abattoir ranged from 24.63 x 102 ± 3.75cfu/m3 to 58.30 x 102 ± 6.49 cfu/m3 during slaughtering and 15.62 x 102 ± 2.97 cfu/m3 to 114.13 x 102 ± 19.75 cfu/m3 after slaughtering. The mean airborne bacterial counts grown on eosine methylene blue agar in the private abattoir ranged from 1.057 x 102 ± 2.58 cfu/m3 to 22.54 x 102 ± 5.70 cfu/m3 during slaughtering and 2.44 x 102 ± 1.41 cfu/m3 to 9.87 x 102 ± 1.41 cfu/m3 after slaughtering. The mean airborne bacterial counts grown on eosine methylene blue agar in the government abattoir ranged from 1.05 x 102 ± 5.62 cfu/m3 to 24.40 x 102 ± 4.66 cfu/m3 during slaughtering and 1.06 x 102 ± 4.24 cfu/m3 to 21.08 x 102 ± 3.94 cfu/m3 after slaughtering. The result revealed the isolation of seven airborne bacterial isolates which include Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Klebsiella sp., and Escherichia coli. The frequency of occurrence and distribution of the airborne bacterial isolates revealed Staphylococcus. aureus (48.75%) and Bacillus sp. (28.68%) as the most frequently isolated airborne bacterial isolates in the private abattoir, while S. aureus (31.95%) and Bacillus sp. (41.93%) were also recorded as the most frequently isolated airborne bacterial isolates in the government abattoir. The statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the airborne bacterial counts recorded during and after slaughtering in the two abattoirs. The result of the plasmid determination revealed that the airborne bacterial isolates harboured plasmid sizes which ranged between 1.5 kbs to 25.2 kbs. The result revealed that, the quality of air in the abattoirs was greatly influenced by the population and type of airborne bacterial isolates, which play significant role in the level of hygiene in meat processing plants. The type and population of airborne bacterial isolates in the indoor air of the two abattoirs are of great concern, which serves as index of quality of air in the environment. Hence, great measures are taken to checkmate this menace caused by the poor hygienic systems in the abattoirs

Abstract:

A 1-year study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella in two abattoir environments coded “A” and “B” in Gaborone, Botswana. The total number of environmental samples collected from abattoirs A and B was 250 and 300, respectively. The samples were taken from soils in the corrals, knife blades, saw blades, cattle-drinking water, cattle feces, and feed. Preenrichment, enrichment, and selective/differential media, which enabled the favorable growth of Salmonella, were used in the study. Salmonellae were present in all sampled environments. The most common serotypes found in the environment at abattoir A were E1, C1, C2, and B. Serotypes B, C1, C2, C3, and E1 were common in abattoir B. Antigenic characterization of the salmonellae isolates showed that Salmonella Anatum, Salmonella Azteca, Salmonella Saintpaul, Salmonella Cerro, and Salmonella Westhampton were predominant in abattoir A, whereas Salmonella Anatum, Salmonella Mbandaka, Salmonella Molade, Salmonella Reading, and Salmonella Oranienburg were dominant in abattoir B. Implementing hazard analysis critical control point principles in work procedures would definitely reduce the gross contamination taking place in abattoirs.

Abstract:

In this study, we investigated the various ways slaughter wastes are utilized, problems encountered in order to give insights in future prospects of abattoir wastes as livestock feeds. A total of 100 abattoir workers were interviewed through semi-structured questionnaires covering Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono districts in Uganda. Results revealed that majority of abattoir work force were middle-aged adults between 30-45 years contributing 37% of total workers. There was a significant association between abattoir workers responses in relation to the proportion of livestock slaughtered (Chi square 147.55; df =2; p<0.0001) in the abattoirs. With reference to cattle, 1.06 and 1.01 more sheep and goats were slaughtered respectively in the dry season in comparison to the wet season. Blood was mostly disposed as animal feed ingredient (blood meal) by 40% of the respondents while rumen contents were mostly sold as manure by 59% of the respondents. Only 16% of the respondents processed rumen contents for livestock feeding. 92.3% of bones were sold for dog feeding while 7.7% of bones were processed for livestock feed ingredients. Polythene bags were reported the biggest contaminants found in slaughter wastes. Stench from slaughter wastes contents was the biggest problem encountered with handling of waste products by (62%) of the respondents. The handling of abattoir wastes was still rudimental at most abattoirs as envisaged by lack of proper handling facilities at the abattoirs. There is need for regular enforcements to ensure proper abattoir waste disposal mechanisms for enhanced livestock use. Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. Tech. 10(1): 129-134, June 2020

Abstract:

Bacteriological characteristics of abattoir effluents (wastewater), abattoir water source, and water bodies receiving abattoir wastewater were investigated in Abuja, Nigeria using the multiple-tube fermentation technique. Source of water to the abattoirs and the usage of water bodies receiving abattoir effluents were determined using questionnaires. Bacterial counts ranged from 4.8 × 106 to 5.8 × 105 /100 mL of total coliform (TC), 8.2 × 104 to 3.2 × 104/100 mL of Fecal coliform (FC), 5.2 × 104 to 2.0 × 104/100 mL of Fecal streptococcus and 1.2 × 104 to 2.0 × 103/100 mL of Escherichia coli for abattoir effluents 6.6 × 105 to 6.0 × 105/100 mL of TC, 6.2 × 104 to 1.8 × 104/100 mL of FC, 1.8 × 104 to 6.0 × 103/100 mL of F. streptococcus, and 4.8 × 103 to 6.6 × 102/100 mL of E. coli for water bodies receiving abattoir effluents 100 m downstream. TC bacteria counts for abattoir effluents exceeded recommended limit for discharge into surface water in Nigeria. No significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between bacterial counts of abattoir effluents and receiving water bodies 100 m downstream: an indication of contamination of receiving water bodies by abattoir effluents and possible public and environmental health hazards.

Abstract:

<p>The use of Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities in earthworm tissue as tool for assessment of heavy metal pollution in abattoir soils was evaluated in this study. Five (5) replicates each of earthworm species (<em>Libyodrilus violaceous</em>, <em>Eudrilus eugeniae</em> and <em>Alma millsoni</em>), soil and rumen waste samples were collected from three (3) abattoir sites (Lafenwa, Gbonogun and Madojutimi abattoirs) and a control site located within Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta, beside an undisturbed stream with no rumen waste. Heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni and Mn) concentrations in rumen waste, abattoir soils and earthworm tissues were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The pH and organic matter (OM) concentrations of the rumen waste and abattoir soils were determined by standard methods. GST activities in the earthworm tissues were determined through the conjugation of 1mM reduced glutathione (GSH) with 1mM 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB). The rumen waste recorded significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) % OM, heavy metal concentrations and pH level than in their respective abattoir soils. The mean heavy metal concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Mn were highest in the tissue of earthworm species obtained from Lafenwa abattoir. A significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher GST activities were recorded in the tissue of earthworm species obtained from Lafenwa and Gbonogun abattoirs. <em>Libyodrilous violaceus </em>obtained from Lafenwa abattoir recorded the highest GST activity (8.47±1.39) in their tissue followed by the ones from Gbonogun abattoir (8.21±0.85). A significant (p ≤ 0.05) positive correlations was observed between GST activities in earthworm tissues and heavy metal concentrations. GST activities can therefore be used to assess the level of heavy metal pollution in abattoir soils.</p><p><em>Keywords</em>: Glutathione-S-transferase, Biomarker, Earthworms, Heavy metals, Abattoir</p>

Abstract:

Our environment is facing serious problems of high volumes of waste generation and inadequate disposal system in worldwide particularly in developing countries. There is also lack of studies on quantification of abattoir waste and lack of workers awareness towards abattoir waste. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to estimate abattoir waste for bioenergy potential as sustainable management. A cross-sectional study was conducted in four selected abattoirs of Eastern Ethiopia from January 1st, 2018 to December 30th, 2018. The magnitude of abattoir waste composition was computed based on Aniebo mathematical computational from the actual number of slaughtered livestock. The study demonstrated that four selected abattoirs generate 1,606.403 ton of abattoir waste per year and using anaerobic digestion of about 85,139 m3/year of biogas and 111.25 ton/year of biofertilizer can be produced. The biogas or energy from the waste can replace firewood and charcoal and the expensive fossil fuels. Using Banks mathematical computation about 20,054.12 m3/year production of biogas could replace 20.56 ton/year of energy consumed by liquefied petroleum gas, kerosene, charcoal, furnace oil, petrol, and diesel in average. The current estimated biofertilizer (111.25 ton/year) from four abattoir sites can cover about 2,225 hectares/year with its advantage and efficiency of soil. When turned into cost, about $55,645 per year of price could estimate from biogas and biofertilizer. The study concluded that huge amount of biogas and dry biofertilizer yields could produce from abattoir waste through anaerobic digestion. Therefore, installing anaerobic digestion plant is recommended to ensure environmental safety and public health.

Abstract:

In this observational study, the variability of broiler carcass bacterial load was investigated at three federally inspected abattoirs, using an automated hydrophobic grid membrane filter interpreter system. The measurement protocol involved: whole carcass rinses aided by a mechanical carcass shaker; filtration of rinse solutions through hydrophobic grid membrane filters (HGMF) (ISO-GRID®, QA Laboratories, Ltd., Toronto, Ont.); and use of an automated HGMF interpreter (MI-100 HGMF Interpreter System, Richard Brancker Research, Ltd., Ottawa, Ont.). Carcass and lot mean bacterial loads were measured, respectively, in units of log10 most probable number (MPN) of mesophylic aerobic colony forming units per gram of carcass (LgMPN/g), and slaughter lot mean LgMPN/g (LMLgMPN/g). Whole carcass rinses were conducted on a total of 1,917 carcasses, among 96 slaughter lots from three abattoirs. Overall, the LgMPN/g ranged from 1.054 to 4.180 with a mean of 2.585 and a variance of 0.263. These corresponded to MPN/g counts from 11 to 15,135 and a geometric mean of 385 MPN/g. Statistically significant differences were observed between abattoirs and between lots within abattoirs. The intra-abattoir correlation coefficient of LgMPN/g was r = 0.180 (p < 0.001). The within abattoir intralot correlation coefficient was r = 0.259 (p < 0.001). In this data set, approximately 56, 26, and 18% of the variability in LgMPN/g were attributed to factors operating at the individual bird, lot, and abattoir levels of organization, respectively. Factors significantly associated with LMLgMPN/g included: abattoir (p < 0.001), transportation time from farm to abattoir (p < 0.001), and waiting time from arrival at the abattoir yard to actual slaughter (p = 0.002). Analysis of a series of five repeat rinses, conducted on one bird from each of the 96 study lots, demonstrated that bacterial counts in the second to fifth sequential rinses were positively associated with the bacterial count of the first rinse. Also, after adjusting for the initial count, a pattern of decreasing counts was observed in subsequent rinses.

Abstract:

The release of untreated wastes from abattoirs into the environment and nearby water bodies poses a significant threat to public health. Such litters may contain pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study investigated 80 samples collected from butchering tables, slaughter slabs, meat rinsing points, and abattoir wastes receiving water from two abattoirs (A and B). Total Enterobacteriaceae count (TEC) for each sample was determined, and Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were isolated and identified. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on all bacterial isolates against nine locally used antibiotics. Overall, 118 bacterial isolates, comprising E. coli (42.5%), Salmonella spp. (27.5%), Shigella spp. (37.5%), and S. aureus (40.0%), were recovered. Of the 118 bacterial isolates, 104 (88.1%) were multidrug-resistant, including 58 (55.8%) from abattoir A and 46 (44.2%) from abattoir B; however, this difference was not statistically significant ( p = 0.6837 ). Of the 32 S. aureus isolates, 29 (90.6%) were multidrug-resistant. All S. aureus were 100% sensitive to vancomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin. Similarly, 31 (91.2%) of the 34 E. coli isolates recovered in this study were multidrug-resistant. Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. also showed high levels of multidrug resistance corresponding to 81.8% and 86.7%, respectively. All isolates of E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella were 100% resistant to ampicillin and 100% sensitive to ciprofloxacin. Minimum and maximum mean values for TEC were 3.62-5.83 log CFU/mL for abattoir A and 4.08–5.56 log CFU/mL for abattoir B. The highest and lowest TEC counts were from slaughter slab and upstream water, respectively, in each abattoir. Our results indicate a predominance of multidrug-resistant bacteria in abattoir wastes and their receiving waters in the study sites. Hence, we recommend the treatment of abattoir wastes before disposal and improved hygiene and sanitation practices to enhance public health.

Abstract:

This study was undertaken to determine the level of water pollution that can be attributed to effluents discharged from the Sokoto Central abattoir. Both surface and well water samples from the abattoir and adjacent wells were investigated to determine their microbial and physicochemical properties. Samples were collected from five different spots that include; effluents from the abattoir where visceral organs are washed (sample point A), two wells located in the adjacent livestock market (sample point B and C), drainage outside the abattoir (sample point D) and another well downstream the abattoir used for irrigation farming (sample point E). The values for pH, were 7.2, 8.0, 7.5 and 6.8 for all the sampling sites respectively. Similarly, the values of nitrate and BOD recorded were all within the acceptable limit except for point A which had nitrate (60.0 mgl-1) and BOD (26.8 mgl-1) above the acceptable limit. While the total coliforms, for sampling point A and D were found to be very high. There was a significant difference in the quality of water from the studied samples in comparison with the acceptable standard especially with respect to total coliform, BOD, COD, and nitrates. The findings from this study indicate that abattoirs have the potential to contaminate and pollute water sources which may produce a detrimental effect on the quality of groundwater despite the sieving process. Hence, measures should be taken to prevent locating abattoirs in close proximity to human dwellings. Similarly, for the existing ones encroached by human habitation, effective pollution control measures such as treatment of hazardous waste and minimizing the use of chemicals for industrial and agricultural purposes should be taken in order to preserve the quality of groundwater and minimize the potential resultant health effect caused by such contaminants.

Abstract:

Wastewater from Abattoir systems is highly concentrated with nutrients from the processes that occur in the day to day operation of the facilities. The current systems in place to treat this wastewater are usually lacklustre in regards to Nitrogen and Phosphorous reduction. The following thesis investigates the Techno Economics of installing a microalgae treatment system in order to reduce the overall Nitrogen and Phosphorous levels effectively. Microalgae growth has been shown to lower the levels of these nutrients as they are key growth components of biomass. In order to find the Techno Economics a treatment system must first be designed for the abattoir waste. There is an extensive literature published in regards to abattoir waste loading including case studies from real abattoir systems. This literature data as well as the data from a local abattoir was used to find the total potential biomass that can be generated from the Nitrogen and Phosphorous loadings. With the total potential biomass calculated the land area required to generate the biomass was calculated using a specific microalgae growth rate in unit (g/m2/day). Once the land size was calculated the total pond system design began. Using the literature data supplied by Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and the Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC) unique systems were designed for three different size abattoirs. The data supplied was analysed on Pre AD data as well as simulated Post AD data as it was not recorded by the abattoirs. The total scale of these abattoirs ranged from a large scale (>2000 kL/day) to a small scale family run abattoir (<200 kL/day). The potential of these systems to generate biomass vary greatly from case to case. Biomass generation is important, as this will account for a large portion of the revenue needed for the profits generation. The techno economics for these systems increase as the systems get larger however the initial Capital Investment and annual Operational Expenditure do not rise greatly as the systems get larger. Several break even schemes were solved, by altering the price/kg of biomass, for each system in order to find the minimum biomass sale price. This value greatly increases as the size of the abattoir goes down, as expected due to the lower biomass generation as well as the similar system CAPEX and OPEX. For the largest abattoir the minimum sale price was $0.82/kg and for the smallest system it was $5.85/kg. The largest abattoir case is an achievable sale price requiring only a small margin commodity as opposed to the smallest scale which would require more expensive biomass to grow. The second case study supplied only the Post AD data which required no manipulation. The supplied data was taken over a 5 year period so the minimum, average and maximum waste loading cases, over this period, were analysed. The variation from the minimum case to the maximum case is ~830 kg potential biomass daily generated. This equates to a substantial difference in system design ranging from a 2 ha minimum system to a 9 ha pond system. As in Case Study one three break even schemes were solved for each individual case, the range of the sale data was $0.94/kg biomass for the minimum case and $0.89/kg biomass for the maximum case. These are achievable values depending on which microalgae strain will grow. From the analysis performed microalgae growth in Raceway ponds using feed from the abattoir wastewater is an economically viable project. The more biomass generated the lower minimum biomass sale price for break even as well as raise the NPV of the project. The market demand and specific microalgae strain that will grow in the effluent will determine the economic viability of raceway pond installation; however with the required $/kg being low, the system should be viable for most large scale abattoirs.

Abstract:

Current abattoir wastewater treatment options involving aerobic and anaerobic digestion systems are relatively inefficient in reducing the inorganic nutrient load (i.e. ammonium and phosphate) of the effluent. With anaerobic lagoons favoured in Australia resulting in large land footprint, loss of environmental and economic value in the form of water and nutrient recovery. The cultivation of microalgae on undiluted anaerobic digestion abattoir effluent (ADAE) offers many potential benefits such as the bioremediation of waste nutrients typically found in the effluent and simultaneous production of valuable algal biomass which represents the conversion of waste-to-profit. Microalgal culture on undiluted ADAE require minimal to no freshwater input and does not compete for arable land, it has the potential to play an important remediation role particularly during the final (tertiary) treatment phase. The generated biomass can also be a source of revenue for the targeted abattoir. To the best of my knowledge, to date, there has been no attempt on testing the growth of algae to treat undiluted ADAE. In this study, the growth, biomass productivity, photo physiology and nutrient removal rates of mono and mixed culture of Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. were evaluated in unfiltered and undiluted ADAE. Chlorella sp. showed the highest ammonium removal rate of up to 11.93±1.14 mgL-1 d-1 as well as the highest biomass productivity of 31.52±0.81 mgL-1 d-1 when compared to the other treatments. Phosphate removal rates were highest in the Scenedesmus cultures while the mixed cultures varied amongst other parameters measured (COD, Nitrite and Nitrate). Chlorella sp. with a specific growth rate of 0.260±0.047 d-1 and mixed Chlorella sp. within consortium (0.294±0.024 d-1) were the dominant species when compared to Scenedesmus sp. (0.062±0.011 d-1). Overall, Chlorella sp. was identified as the most efficient microalgal species capable of growing on undiluted ADAE with the potential to generate a waste-to-profit system.

Abstract:

Today the planning of the transports at Hälsingestintan is done without any tools. Every year the problem regarding the planning is getting more complex and complicates the logistics of the transports. The purpose with the study is to investigate the logistics related to the mobile abattoir and the refrigerated truck in Hälsingestinans process flow. This is relevant due to identify if an optimization model has potential to reduce the transport costs when using this concept. Furthermore, the difference between the used planning strategies of the model and Hälsingestintan will be compared to identify if there are any clear differences between the methods.

Abstract:

Abstract: The poultry abattoir industry continues to grow and contribute significantly to the gross domestic product in many countries. The industry expects working shifts of eight to eleven hours, during which workers are exposed to occupational hazards which include physical hazards ranging from noise, vibration, exposure to cold and ergonomic stress from manual, repetitive tasks that require force. A PubMed, Medline and Science Direct online database search, using specific keywords was conducted and the results confirmed that physical and ergonomic hazards impact on abattoir processing workers health, with harm not only to workers’ health but also as an economic burden due to the loss of their livelihoods and the need for treatment and compensation in the industry. This review endeavours to highlight the contribution poultry processing plays in the development of physical agents and ergonomic stress related occupational diseases in poultry abattoir processing workers. The impact includes noise-induced hearing loss, increased blood pressure, menstrual and work related upper limb disorders. These are summarised as a quick reference guide for poultry abattoir owners, abattoir workers, poultry associations, occupational hygienists and medical practitioners to assist in the safer management of occupational health in poultry abattoirs.
