AUV recommendations:

Breaks only take place on a slaughter table licensed by AUV. The animal that is slaughtered for family consumption and relatives above all must be controlled. In the slaughter, control is carried out before the slaughter process and after the slaughter. After thorough research by veterinarians, the meat is valued and it takes the seal of safety for consumption.

The trade of living animals must be done with supporting documentation. Before buying, make sure the animal has the number and other documents that testify to the animal's origin and state of health. These include the number of micriklls (the number issued by competent authority) to possess veterinary certificates of health issued by veterinarians licensed responsible for property health checks and passport. Any animal that is encountered in markets or other areas without high evidence is considered illegal, at the same time may be confiscated by competent organs.

Uncertain public and illegal health slaughter is considered, any slaughter done outside the facility authorized for slaughter. Because of the health status of animals destined for the sacrifice of veterinarian control before the slaughter, over and after the slaughter process.

There is the possibility of carrying zoonic infectious diseases from animals to humans, while the lack of sanitation in countries or inadequate spaces could come up to contain meat (there is a large number of microbiological factors that can affect the flesh) from environment and non-hygienic equipment. High temperatures are another non-competitive factor in the process of slaughtering and preserving meat. These factors endanger public health from food-environmental poisoning.

The list of slaughterhouses across the country's territory is public she found the AUV site, including the addresses of the slaughterhouses.
