As part of the USDA “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” effort to create new economic opportunities by better connecting consumers with local producers, FSIS will host two Web outreach seminars this January on mobile slaughter units.

Mobile slaughter units are self contained slaughter facilities that can travel from site to site. Typically, the units provide slaughter services to regional small producers at conveniently located host farms. FSIS-inspected mobile slaughter units provide a feasible option for small livestock producers wanting to provide safe, wholesome meat product to local and interstate consumer markets.

Each seminar will highlight inspection issues unique to mobile slaughter units as presented by industry and Agency experts. The seminars will also include information on USDA Rural Development loan and grant programs available to under-served rural areas.
