Located in the middle of the built-up area, on one of the most beautiful arteries, namely Hassan II Boulevard, the Mohammedia slaughterhouses generate multiple problems with their impact on the environment, traffic, hygiene, etc. According to a member of the Association of Butchers, these slaughterhouses which are not approved require rehabilitation to put an end to management difficulties, as well as to ensure good slaughter conditions and better hygiene standards. The recent seizure of a quantity of meat unfit for consumption will undoubtedly have serious repercussions, so as to put an end to the failures and anarchy. The management of the Mohammedia slaughterhouses falls under the competence of the urban commune which has not opted for a more efficient delegated management mode, like the Casablanca slaughterhouses. A surprise visit by the governor of the Mohammedia prefecture is likely to explain the measures taken to rehabilitate this structure and ensure the required level of hygiene and favourable slaughter conditions, as well as a space to allow butchers to work in the best conditions. Nevertheless, explains this other member of the Association of Butchers, the upgrading of the slaughterhouses necessarily involves the commissioning of an incinerator. Seizures continue to be destroyed with cresyl, then transported to the landfill. The animals offered for slaughter must be subjected to a veterinary consultation to ward off health problems and to meet sanitary requirements. The upgrading of the slaughterhouses in the red meat sector must be supported with a need for rigorous and continuous sanitary controls of animal products. Alongside the efforts made, it should be noted that there is a shortage of modern slaughter units, which encourages clandestine slaughter. However, upgrading the slaughterhouses cannot solve all the problems on its own. The ideal would be to build new slaughterhouses in a suitable place, far from residential areas. Moreover, the most worrying problem lies in the slaughter sites at the level of the Souks of the rural communes of Benyakhlef and Sidi Moussa Ben Ali. The slaughter takes place in conditions that favour the appearance of health and hygiene problems. Once slaughtered, sheep and cattle are exposed for sale without any regulatory control. And even if this is the case, the fact remains that red and white meat of suspicious origin continues, according to this regular at the Souk, to be sold with all the risks that this entails for the health of the citizen.
