The purpose of this work is to assess the environmental conditions of the public slaughterhouse in Isiro where its slaughtering practices are carried out of all environmental rules that are permissible according to the rules of the art. Methodologically, this work borrowed Ishikawa's "five M" rule to identify possible causes of unsanitary conditions in this public institution. It assessed the environmental conditions of the slaughterhouse from the Raw Material, the equipment, the middle, the environment and the method used in the slaughter operations. Structured observation, quality interviewing and auditing and, above all, documentation have been associated with this method of collecting data. This work objectively criticized the working conditions in the public slaughterhouse in Isiro and advocated for the public health of the population and the socio-professional conditions of the staff of that establishment. After quality audits during the study period, each time there was slaughter, these were done under the same conditions: absence of technical and sanitary facilities for veterinary samples and examinations, slaughter in unsanitary conditions, slaughter under extreme violence, skinning on bare soil, lack of personal protective equipment, no energy sources and water, presence of people and animals unwanted Etc. On the economic front, we recorded revenues in the order of $2 406, 32 an average of $601, 58 per month collected only by the Town Hall, apart from the DGRHU and the fishing and breeding division that jointly co-managed this institution. The main limit of this work is not to analyze and determine the types of pathogenic germs that could contaminate meat during slaughter in an unsanitary environment.
