Freedom from Pollution from Other Industries 

The meat is such a commodity which easily picks up odour of environment and if any such odour prevails as a result of pollution, it affects the quality of meat. The abattoir should be situated away from chemical industries as the pollution caused by chemical industries such as paint, odour, dust, smoke and ash suspects clean and hygienic production of meat. Moreover, the presence of pollutant in environment also affects the livestock in lairage and working manpower. The abattoir should be at sufficient distance from any river to avoid water pollution. 

Distance from Other Buildings 

The abattoir should be at a reasonable distance from local housing and other development to avoid complaints about noise and smell. 

Avoidance of Birds and Insects 

A large amount of solid wastes and by-products is produced from on abattoir. These wastes and by-products attract birds and insect. Therefore, the bushes and trees should be cleaned/cleared around 20 meters of the meat plant for above purpose.
