Animal processing refers to the methods used to convert livestock into meat and other products for human consumption. This process typically involves several steps, including slaughtering, dressing, and packaging. The goal is to ensure that the meat is safe, nutritious, and ready for distribution to consumers. In addition to meat, animal processing also includes the production of by-products such as leather, gelatin, and animal feed. Facilities involved in this industry must adhere to strict regulations to maintain hygiene and animal welfare standards. This ensures that products meet safety requirements for consumers and the environment.
