Uganda's agriculture ministry wants safer meat for everyone. The government works with health officials and local leaders to make better slaughterhouses. New rules force meat facilities to meet strict health standards. Workers must keep animals clean and handle meat properly to prevent disease.
Officials gave out 1,200 meat inspection kits to local areas across the country. They train meat inspectors with modern skills to check for problems. Special motorcycle containers help transport meat without germs. Companies that break safety rules face legal punishment from authorities.
The ministry built 25 slaughterhouses and 23 livestock markets in cattle areas. World Bank money helped create more facilities in northern regions. A modern slaughterhouse opened at Sanga with advanced equipment for processing animals.
Private companies get help building export facilities in several districts. The government checks farms to make sure healthy animals go to slaughter houses. All animals receive vaccines against foot and mouth disease before processing.
Dr Henry Nakalet Opolot leads the agriculture ministry efforts. He says better facilities protect public health and help international trade. The new system reduces food poisoning risks and meets world standards for meat exports.
