Roadmap to Slaughter and Processing Activities

Farmers wishing to slaughter their livestock face an array of state and federal regulations
related to facility inspection and licensing. While the intentions of all of these policies are
noble ones (food safety, consumer confidence and public health), the volume and variety of
rules can create confusion for farmers.
The Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (AAFM) has developed this chart to bring
some structure to all of these policies and help you visualize when certain regulations apply
to your operation.
