Abstract

Animal slaughtering for communal consumption is inevitable in most part of the world. In most countries government at different levels enacts laws aimed at ensuring a healthy steady supply of meats and meat products, these laws may include the involvement of trained personnel such as veterinarians, butchers, meat inspectors and laboratory scientists in the abattoir, yet some problems abound with meat handling procedures in most abattoirs in developing nations. The study was aimed at assessing the types and effects of waste generated in Maiduguri abattoir. The study adopted the survey research design through mixed method approach. Questionnaires were designed and distributed. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and presented appropriately in required places of discussion. The result of the study indicates that Camels, Cattles, Sheep, and Goats are the major animals slaughtered, and blood, paunch and dung content, condemned meat and carcasses are the major waste generated in the abattoir. The study reveals that despite the associated dangers in the high volume of abattoir waste generated yet it also provides employment opportunity and increased agricultural production. Furthermore, the study recommends the need for relocation and construction of a modern abattoir outside the city away from residential area and enactment of laws restricting indiscriminate encroachment by property developers.
