EcoHealth Conference, Kunming China 2012
“Kitchen of the world”&
Outbreak of food-borne diseases
Food safety is priority
Improper management of slaughterhouses might cause
food borne disease
Require hygienic management
study
Complexity of socio-economic, veterinary sciences, public health, environment and
political perspective
Focus on Integrative and
EcoHealth concept
2
Rationales and concepts
The objectives of the study
1. To determine possible association between economic status and hygienic practices
2. To evaluate the opportunities for improvement to meet the existing standard regulation for small scale poultry in northern Thailand
Materials and methods
Thailand Study area and samples• The study was taken in
Chiang Mai province, Thailand
• 46 from 80 slaughterhouses were included to the study
Data collection
Data on the existing law/regulation and its implementation were collected from the Department of Livestock Development authorities
Data on economics and management were collected from slaughterhouse owners• Cost of production
• Productivity
• Investment
• Monthly expenses
Methods used in this study
Questionnaire Observation Salmonella ident.
Interview Focus group diss.

Action
Hygienic practices and management
The results
Results- demographic data of SH ownerCharacteristic Frequency Percent
1. Do not slaughter on the floor2. Separate the clean zone and the dirty zone3. Clean the slaughterhouse every workday4. Waste management 5. Protective equipment 6. Storage meats properly
Before study
Currently (after 1st intervention)
Policy advocacy
Success factors
• Our study is integrated in other research projects
– E. g. “development of Pradu-Hangdum native chicken raising for food safety”
• Economics incentives for change
– New market modern trade
– New product safety products
(access to supermarkets increased due to improved hygiene)
• Adapted more feasible law and regulation
• Sustainability
Challenges and next step
Challenge
• Motivation for change Incentives
• Long term development and evaluation
• How to sustain the development
• How to disseminate the results for wide impact
Next steps
• Evaluation of adapted guideline feasibility
• Long term monitoring sustainability
• Disseminate the results wide impact
• Follow up research
Conclusion
• The current hygienic practices of the small scale poultry slaughterhouses are poor
• Those slaughterhouses need to improve to address the current poultry standard regulation
• However, the current regulation is not suitable for small scale slaughterhouses
• More feasible regulation for small scale poultry slaughterhouse have been developed and applied in selected SH, first results are promising
• However, further research is needed before final conclusions can be given
