Dodoma readies for modern pig abbatoir
THE World Bank has approved 1bn/- to Tanzania for construction of a state- of -the -art pig slaughterhouse in Dodoma, part of a series of projects on community empowerment and development via International Development Association (IDA) credit.
Head of the Livestock and Fisheries Department Dr Gratian Mwesiga.
The soft loans window of the World Bank is supporting the Tanzania Cities Transforming Infrastructures and Competitiveness Project (TACTIC), on the basis of the project coordinator at the Dodoma city council, Emmanuel Manyanga.
He told The Guardian in an interview that his office was currently working to finalise some key issues in readiness of the eagerly-awaited project, like finding a qualified contractor to undertake the project professionally.
The project is a result of successful implementation of the Tanzania Strategic Cities Project (TSCP) executed in Dodoma for the past ten years (2011-2020) through IDA credit and a grant from Denmark, totaling 147bn/-, he said.
Construction of the modern pig abattoir is tied to other projects, with three slaughterhouses for goats and cattle, set to cost around 3bn/-.
Dr Gratian Mwesiga, head of the Livestock and Fisheries Department at the city council, said the department has obtained 100 acres of land in Kizota area for project implementation.
The Animal Diseases Act (2003) requires that all meat for sale to the public should be slaughtered at official abattoirs after being inspected by the right council officials, he said, noting that the envisaged project will facilitate professional slaughtering of pigs in the fast growing city.
Expansion and facelift of the Msalato abattoir will enable it to slaughter at least 1000 cows and 500 goats per day, he stated, elaborating that Disease Free Zone (DFZ) special areas are to be coned off where cattle would be kept for up 12 hours before slaughter.
When implemented the projects will make Dodoma a hub of beef, with the abattoirs operated by the Tanzania Meat Company (TMC), with its major abattoir built in 2003, starting operations in 2004, overseen by the Tanzania Livestock Marketing Project in the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries.
The facility has the capacity to slaughter 200 cows and 1,200 goats per day, while the actual demand stands at more than 600 cows and 2,800 goats per day.
Tanzania is placed second after neighbouring Kenya among countries in East Africa in meat production and accessing foreign markets, officials said.
