AQTA and ABAD public legal entity launches a new joint project in the liberated territories.

The main goal of the project is to form favourable conditions for the population engaged in the livestock farming, ensure the compatibility of modern slaughter techniques and provide healthier meat and meat products for consumption. 

The new butcheries to be built will control and prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases, protect people from the animal-to-human transmission. A foundation for the organization of veterinary mechanisms to control animal health in the liberated areas will be laid as soon as possible.

New slaughterhouses will be established at the expense of the Azerbaijan Food Safety Institute (AQTA). Taking into account its experience of working with micro and small businesses, ABAD public legal entity will participate in the selection of project participants, assess their potential and business management skills, provide professional training for butchers within the framework of ABAD’s support program.

Initially, relevant organizational work has been carried out in Guzanly settlement of Aghdam district to establish an abattoir meeting modern standards and the area where the slaughterhouse will be built was determined. Laboratories will be set up at the new abattoirs by AQTA, and veterinary and sanitary control will be provided for meat and meat products that will be put into circulation.
