Abstract

An abattoir is a facility where slaughtering, butchering and processing of animals to produce meat and meat products fit for human consumption take place. Achieving hygienic environment in an abattoir is one of the major challenges facing abattoirs in Nigeria and there is a need to improve their condition. There has been very little attempt at identifying how this can be done through the design of abattoirs in this country. This study was an attempt to fill this gap. This research thus focuses on how to achieve a hygienic environment in Abattoirs through architectural planning and design. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to investigate and develop architectural design and planning solutions for achieving hygienic environment for meat production and processing in the Kara Market Abattoir, Ogun State, Nigeria. To achieve this aim, the following objectives were identified: (i) to study the historical development of abattoirs globally and in Nigeria; (ii) to identify the major problems encountered with abattoirs; (iii) to examine specific solutions and strategies towards achieving and maintaining a hygienic environment in a modern abattoir; and (iv) to investigate the existing facilities and services in the Kara market abattoir in Ogun State and other abattoirs within and outside Nigeria. To do this, existing literature have been reviewed and data has been gotten from assessment and examination of existing case studies. Subsequently, for this reason, this thesis has created an architectural design proposal redesigning and planning the Kara Market Abattoir to meet current needs and global best practices in meat production and processing
