The Process of Meat Slaughter
Channel: Saint Lucia Government

Animal slaughtering in Saint Lucia occurs on a weekly basis in abattoirs around the island. The process is guided by procedures set by various different agencies, in order to maintain product and service quality to the general public.

In keeping with tradition, abattoirs become busier during the month of December, as more people purchase meat for the Christmas festivities. As a result, the Ministry of Health has joined forces with the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure best practices are kept during the increase in production.
