Abattoir wastewater quality in South Western Nigeria
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by A.O. Coker, B.O. Olugasa, A.O. AdeyemiAbattoir wastewater may be defined as water that has
been used in the cleaning up of slaughtered cattle, sheep,
goat and pig carcasses, the floor of slaughter hall, personnel
and slaughter equipment. Abattoir wastewater is characterized
by presence of high concentration of whole blood
of the slaughtered food animals and suspended particles of
semi-digested and undigested feeds within the stomach and
intestine of slaughtered and dressed food animals. Since
slaughtering and dressing of food animals take place in an
abattoir, it becomes easier to refer to the wastewater from
this industrial system as “abattoir wastewater”. This study
determined the physico-chemical and patho-bacteriological
qualities of abattoir wastewater from Bodija Municipal
Abattoir in Ibadan city, South Western Nigeria.
