IPB has its own slaughterhouse

BOGOR: Bogor Institute of Agriculture's (IPB) rector Ahmad Ansori Matjik officiated on Monday a chicken slaughterhouse within the vicinity of the IPB Darmaga campus. The slaughterhouse will be used by the institute mostly for research purposes.

IPB collaboration and business development manager Widiyanto Dwi Surya said the slaughterhouse was a joint project between the IPB School of Veterinary and PT Mitra Syariah Gemilang.

"All this time, we have sent our students to slaughterhouses in Bogor, Tangerang, Sukabumi and Tasikmalaya to learn about the slaughtering process," he said.

The IPB slaughterhouse can accommodate 2,000 chickens per day. -- JP
