The ministries of Agriculture and Health have increased the monitoring and surveillance of butchery practices during the festive season.
Owners and managers of the slaughterhouse must present to the Inspector the original copy of the Ante Mortem Certificate that renders the animal fit to slaughter; all butchers must obtain a license/permit-to-slaughter from the police; and any animals being transported from the south to the north must obtain a transfer permit from the Southern Livestock Station.
