Slaughterhouse Visitation

                As part of our requirements in AGCS 6 we are required to visit slaughterhouses. Our class is divided into six groups with six to seven members. Our group is composed of Christel, Lucille, Diane, Ate Aleli, Jasmin, Ate DM and I. When we are to visit the slaughterhouses, we decided to join to the group of Ate Cindy, Kuya Ronell, Kuya Ian, Kuya Kenneth, Micah, Fhaye and Jerick. Last December 2013, we visited the slaughter house of Indang. We went to the slaughterhouse at around 8 o’ clock in the evening to observe and to know the different slaughtering processes in hog that is done y the butchers. After that, we went back home at around 12midnight and had a sleepover at Diane’s house.

                The second part of our slaughterhouse visitation was in Trece Martirez City Slaughterhouse. December 18, 2013, we went there, we arrived at 7:30 in the morning. We assisted by Mr. Gilbert Maminta, meat inspector and Mr. Bayani Lubigan, the Slaughterhouse Master. They showed to us the different slaughtering operations in hog and in cattle. Also, we participated in this activity, we slaughtered two hogs, each of us did the operation from stunning, bleeding, scalding, dehairing, eviscerating, splitting up to carcass washing. After that, we had also an examination and we all passed.
