Improper Management Of An Abattoir Its Effect And The Way Out

1.4 STUDY OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this study include the following.

1) To identify those factors which contribute to improper management of an abattoir.

2) To assess the level of personal hygiene practices among worker.

3) To make appropriate recommendations to improve the existing standard.

4) To find out the nature of hazard in the abattoir. 

5) To examine the health and welfare services provided by employers of this abattoir. 

6) To render useful recondition on the subject matter based on its findings.

1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

A research study without research question is unfocussed and a random empirical wandering. The researcher therefore formulated the following questions.

1) Can continuous dumping of high level of abattoir waste lead to eutrophication?

2) Can periodic health and safety education help to reduce the incident of water borne disease?

3) Can frequent continuity of improper management of an abattoir lead to our break of disease.

4) Can abattoir be perfectly maintained?

5) What are the negative impacts that the discriminate disposal of effluent from abattoir has posed to the occupants of Ikpoba- Okha Local Government Area?

6) Can the wastewater disposed from abattoir lead to an outbreak of epidemic?

7) What can be done to ensure sanitary disposal and maintenances of abattoir?

8) Can abattoir waste lead to atmospheric pollution?

9) Can indiscriminate dumping at abattoir waste on land lead to soil leaching or soil salinity.

10 Can indiscriminate dumping of abattoir waste lead to underground and surface water pollution?

1.6 Limitation of the Study

There is no study undertaken by a researcher that is perfect. The imperfection of any research is always due to some factors negatively affecting a researcher in the course of carrying out research.  Therefore, time constraint has shown no mercy to the research. The limited time has to be shared among many alternative uses, which includes reading, attending lectures and writing of this research, also distance and its attendant costs of travelling to obtain information which may enhance the writing of this study was a major limitation.
