Non-participant observation was the major tool for the data collection and it was substantiated by personal interviews wherever required. Based on the available literature and initial observations all those factors which can reflect on the efficiency and productivity of the slaughterhouse were identified and studied. The findings of the study have been discussed under four heads namely, infrastructure and physical environment, social structural, administrative, workers, and consumers.
