Widam Food Company has opened Al Sheehaniya Slaughterhouse for all types of livestock, as part of its strategic plan to expand the scope of its services and products.
Engineer Mohamed Badr al-Sada, chairman of Widam, pointed out that Widam has been a pioneer in operating slaughterhouses in the country.
Al Sheehaniya Slaughterhouse, which is located at Rawdat Rashid Road, is the most recent project of the company in this field. It will offer the services of slaughtering and preparing livestock including sheep, goats, cattle and camels. The services will be offered to individuals, and meat shops as well as farms and barns in the area.
The official explained that the slaughterhouse is equipped according to the highest standards in the field to guarantee smooth and highly efficient services for the customers. He said that Widam has been keen to open this slaughterhouse ahead of the upcoming holy month of Ramadan due to the expected surge of demand.
The new slaughterhouse has a space of 5,000sqm, including four halls for slaughtering livestock, in addition to cooling rooms to keep the meat and a waiting hall for the public, besides some barns and fodder storehouses. The production capacity is estimated at 1,000 heads of livestock a day, and all the processes are subject to the veterinary control by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment.
