Why do slaughterhouses always start slaughtering in the early hours of the morning? Anything to say?

There used to be slaughter in our town during the day, but it was quickly reported to be closed down, so it was reasonable to slaughter in the early morning.

At that time, there was a mutton soup kitchen in the town, and the business was very good, because his mutton soup was really delicious and he gave a lot of mutton. The most important thing is that he kills sheep on the spot every morning, and then starts to make soup, which ensures the freshness of mutton. Everyone can see it, so he is very relieved to go to his house to drink mutton soup, so his business is getting better and better, and more and more guests are coming.

So at first, their family only killed one sheep every day, and later they may have to kill several sheep, and their business has expanded a lot. Previously, they only sold mutton soup, followed by barbecue and raw meat. Naturally, their business is getting better and better and they still keep the tradition of killing sheep every morning. Every day, they hang the sheep that they killed first in front of the store. If customers like it, they can directly choose meat and cook it directly. You can rest assured. I am also an old customer of their family. Often go to drink mutton soup, buy mutton skewers, or simply cut some fresh meat. It's very convenient, and the quality is really good, because it can be seen by the eyes, which can enhance my confidence in buying.

But then one day, the store was reported, and the specific content of the report was unclear, but it was probably because the slaughter in the street had a bad influence on teenagers, so from then on, the store could not be slaughtered during the day, and then because the news of the report was spread, it was amazing, and finally it became a problem with the mutton in this store, so the business of this store could not go on, and finally it had to close down.

Although I didn't report it at that time, it also had some psychological impact on me. At that time, this shop started slaughtering sheep again, and I watched. Therefore, the massacre may not be very successful. The sheep struggled badly and fluttered around, which made me feel very flustered, so I can understand why some people say that it has affected teenagers and cities, and it is indeed the case.

This incident really interested me in this business. Later, I discovered that many slaughtering industries are actually carried out in the early hours of the morning and cannot be found during the day. This has become a rule. Although there are no clear rules, everyone basically does this, which is actually very scientific.

First, the influence is not good. Just like the mutton shop in our town was reported, the slaughter during the day is really bloody, which is really too exciting for some people, especially teenagers, and is not conducive to their physical and mental health. Moreover, daytime slaughter seems to have some propaganda meaning, which does not conform to mainstream values and has a bad influence on the appearance of the city, so daytime slaughter is not appropriate.

Second, there are risks. There is a large flow of people during the day, and slaughtering during the day will be risky. Because there will be all kinds of knives, all kinds of strange tools and even some animals in the slaughter place, which may become the source of danger. Once a customer went to buy the present meat, but as a result, he had an argument with the butcher and was later cut into a disability, so in order to avoid this risk, he also tried to avoid slaughtering during the day.

Third, meat goes bad easily. Slaughter during the day, sometimes the meat can't be shipped out in time, because the traffic jam during the day is really inconvenient to transport, and sometimes the temperature during the day is extreme, such as when the sun is shining, the temperature and humidity are particularly high. Although the meat is fresh, it still goes bad quickly, so slaughtering during the day may also cause the problem of meat deterioration.

First, the time is ripe. This is actually the most important reason for slaughtering at night, because many industries, especially the catering industry, have a great demand for meat every day. For example, the breakfast shop needs fresh meat to make steamed buns, and the breakfast shop has set up a stall very early, maybe at five or six in the morning, so the preparation work may be completed at three or four. If you don't slaughter it in the early morning, you can't buy fresh meat, which will naturally affect your business. Therefore, if the meat is slaughtered in the early morning, it can be sent to all the places where it is needed smoothly, without delaying their business the next day, and it is also a contribution to society.

Second, the transportation is convenient. For the slaughter industry, convenient transportation is very important, and it is also a fresh guarantee to transport the slaughtered meat to various places in time. The traffic is heavy during the day, but it's different in the morning. There are basically no cars on the road, so it can travel smoothly, so the speed will be faster and the transportation cost will be greatly reduced. And sometimes there are restrictions on transportation vehicles in many places during the day, which can only be transported in the early morning.

The third is to avoid unnecessary trouble. This situation is actually to reduce the adverse effects. After all, the industry still needs to see blood, and now there are many vegetarians and animal protectors. Seeing this scene will definitely be uncomfortable. So in order to avoid these troubles, protect some teenagers, slaughter them in the early hours of the morning, and then deal with the scene in time, which can avoid a lot of troubles and make the industry run healthier.

Fourth, it is more conducive to maintaining meat quality. In general, the temperature is the lowest in the early morning. At this relatively low temperature, even in an open slaughterhouse, the freshness of meat can be guaranteed, and the problem of deterioration will not occur soon, thus ensuring the freshness of meat, and consumers can safely eat meat.

Fifth, slaughter is more convenient. In the early morning, that is, near midnight, domestic animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep are generally inactive. At this time, their resistance will not be so fierce, and the difficulty of slaughtering will be reduced, which will reduce the difficulty of slaughtering and improve work efficiency. It is also very suitable.

However, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of assembly lines, the current slaughter industry is no longer limited to day or early morning. Because there is basically no slaughter in residential areas, it is basically centralized slaughter, so even if it is slaughtered during the day, there will be no bad influence.

First of all, it is necessary to slaughter in the early morning and send some fresh meat to the needed industries and markets to meet the demand of the next day, which is also to improve people's happiness. However, the slaughterhouse will continue to work during the day. At this time, the slaughtered fresh meat will be quickly refrigerated and will become that kind of chilled meat. This part of the meat will be transported to the supermarket through subsequent transportation. This is the cold meat we often buy. Of course, some meat will be frozen directly, which is later frozen meat. So the slaughterhouse assembly line has been working.

Moreover, with the advancement of technology, the scene of the massacre will not be so bloody and will not be made public, so there will be no corresponding adverse effects. Coupled with the improvement of cold chain technology, there will be no problem with meat quality, thus forming a multi-level supply of fresh meat, cold meat and frozen meat, which can meet various needs of all walks of life.

At first, it was thought that the slaughter industry had no scientific basis in the early hours of the morning, but it was later found to be very scientific. In any industry, there are actually hidden rules of any industry. Although it seems difficult to understand, it actually makes sense. Sometimes we can't understand it, but don't rush to deny it. We should continue to explore, specialize, understand and know each other, so as to finally understand the truth of the matter.

Because it is necessary to consider selling meat and meet the problem of residents buying fresh meat in the morning, it must be slaughtered in the early morning.

When we were young, the slaughterhouse at that time killed pigs during the day, because pigs were raised by one family at that time and were usually carried to the slaughterhouse at the food station in the morning. Why do they have to be lifted in the morning? Because at that time, pigs were generally afraid to be carried at night, because there was no road at that time, and pigs had to be carried to the slaughterhouse of the food station for slaughter when they grew up. What do you mean, sell one and keep one? That is, you have two pigs at home, and you have to sell one to get the slaughter certificate. There is a slaughter certificate, and you have to pay taxes to kill pigs in the New Year. At that time, pigs had to get up early, have breakfast, then put them down and tie them up, and then carry them away at dawn. At that time, the road was slippery and steep, and I had to hold the stabilizer in my hand. One is to prevent the road from slipping, the other is to catch my breath. Some of them took three or four hours to get there. When they arrived, they had to wait for the wheels. Sometimes there are so many pigs that you can't kill them until the afternoon.

By the 1980s, all the land was owned by families, and there was no need for food stations. What about You Zhu supported by the countryside? At that time, those who killed pigs went to pig farmers' homes on the first day, got up in the middle of the night, killed the pigs and cut them in half. Two people carrying torches and flashlights. It is estimated that they will walk into the street at dawn.

Later, pig butchers on the street or in the countryside rented houses near the street and went to the countryside to buy live pigs and bring them back to feed. They kill one or two to sell at two or three every morning.

At that time, all the people in the epidemic prevention station went to the market and arrived before the pork was sold. In this way, by the year 2000 or so, the epidemic prevention station felt that it was not good for epidemic prevention, and pigs should be slaughtered at designated points.

Slaughterhouses should consider their own interests and the interests of selling meat. It must be slaughtered in the early hours of the morning and be fresh when it is sold in the morning.

"Get up early and get greedy every day, and earn hard money." Daughter-in-law's cousin has three stalls selling meat at the farmer's market. When everyone meets, he always says the opening sentence.

My wife's cousin used to raise pigs in the countryside. Because he often deals with pig dealers, he feels that raising pigs is not as hard as pig dealers, so he also went to the farmer's market to contract a meat stall.

Because my cousin can bear hardships and stand hard work and has so many years of experience in raising pigs, the business is doing very well. Now my cousin's son and daughter also sell meat at the farmer's market like my cousin. There are three meat stalls in his house. Cousin can also go to the countryside to collect pigs, and then send them to the slaughterhouse for centralized slaughter, so as to earn more, especially when pork prices rose last year and the year before, my cousin's family can be said to have made a fortune.

My cousin is now nearly 60 years old, and wants to hand over the meat selling industry to her children after working for two years, because this industry can be said to be tired and dirty, and she can rest for a few days during the Spring Festival all year round. He hasn't slept a wink since he started selling meat. I have to go to the slaughterhouse to get meat at two or three in the morning, and I have to go to the countryside to collect pigs in the afternoon, take them back to the pigsty rented by the slaughterhouse, and then send them to the slaughterhouse in the early morning. After slaughter, I will send the goods to the hands of special buyers, transport the pigs to the market and divide them by parts. The rest will be sold to my wife and children, and I will simply sleep in the afternoon to collect pigs and catch pigs. In his own words, "I used to kill pigs in the countryside."

First, the reasons for the slaughter in the slaughterhouse in the early morning

1. It is convenient for vendors to sell goods: the wholesale markets in the city are open at midnight, which is mainly the reason why vendors can purchase goods during the day and then take them back for sale. If the slaughterhouse kills pigs and sells them during the day, it will be too late for the vendors to take the goods back and divide them. If the farmer's market sells consignors sooner or later, it won't catch up with the sales during the day.

2. For better preservation: People like to buy fresh and slaughtered meat, especially when cold meat is not popular. Killing pigs and selling meat will affect customers' desire to buy, and the meat sellers are mainly "repeat customers". Killing pigs in the early morning can just catch up with selling during the day, because meat is basically sold on the chopping board or hung up for sale, so the freshness of meat is very demanding. If it is slaughtered during the day, it may be put on shelves for one day, so that the freshness of pork will be greatly reduced and the color of meat will change.

3. Killing pigs at night does not disturb people: Now slaughterhouses are all in the suburbs, far away from residential areas, and the equipment for killing pigs is also very advanced. Basically, electric shock is used to relieve the pain of pigs. However, if you kill pigs during the day, you will inevitably meet or see people selling pigs and pulling pigs, which will make people feel disgusted. Killing in the early morning can effectively avoid this situation.

(4) Convenient transportation: At present, the roads in many cities are a bit crowded, especially in the morning and evening rush hours, so most cities will implement truck restrictions in the morning and evening rush hours. It is very troublesome to kill pigs and transport them outside during the day. It is a very good choice to choose to slaughter in the early morning and transport it in place before the morning peak.

Second, killing pigs in the early hours of the morning is a way for the slaughter industry to adapt to the market, and its main purpose is to facilitate transportation and sales.

Slaughterhouses kill pigs and other livestock in the early morning, mainly to adapt to the market. I remember that in the past, many mutton soup kitchens and barbecue shops slaughtered live sheep in the street in order to show that their mutton was genuine, which aroused many people's resentment, so now this kind of behavior has been banned, which is also a manifestation of social civilization and progress.

After all, killing animals is bloody and cruel. Although many people like to eat meat, they still don't want to see the scene of slaughtering animals and transporting undivided animal carcasses. Killing in the early hours of the morning can just avoid this situation.

The main reason for slaughtering pork and livestock in the early hours of the morning is to facilitate sales and transportation, as well as the preservation of meat. It is also a way for people to see less bloody pictures of slaughtering and transporting animal carcasses, which is also a way for the slaughtering industry to facilitate customers and cater to the market.

Sell it directly after killing in the early morning! Fresh pork sells well!

The reasons are as follows: 1. The temperature is generally low at night, which ensures the freshness of meat, and it is not easy to be oxidized or "cooked", resulting in corruption or odor, and at the same time leads to poor sales of meat and low efficiency. It is convenient to work in this industry, such as removing bones, transporting meat and purchasing pigs. 3. In line with the living habits of ordinary people in the past, you can buy food before going to work, or meet the processing time requirements of catering bosses. Personally, I think it's mainly those points, and nothing else is the point. I used to work in a small place for several years and took a day off every year. I walked through [tears] [tears] [tears] [tears] with tears.

Fresh meat sells well.
