Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to suggest infrastructure management facilities for a well-planned slaughterhouse, furthermore, proposed a systematic slaughterhouse infrastructure with modernized facilities including orientation, circulation areas, waste disposal and effluent disposal methods. Methods/Analysis: The stratified research sample was taken in the form of focused group discussions and interviews. The qualitative data thus gathered from environmentalist, civil engineers, construction managers, architects and planners to workout facility management plan for slaughterhouse. Findings: The results outlined that poor slaughterhouse infrastructure planning and management poses great threat to the human health and society by disseminating several diseases. Thereof, study concluded that the infrastructure planning can play positive and effective role to mitigate the concerned issues. Novelty/Improvement: None of the work has focused on infrastructure planning to resolve the health and environmental issues arising from the slaughterhouse’s wastages. This research is novel contribution in recommending the infrastructure planning solutions.
