Abstract

Chicken meat is one of the essential proteins needed for human growth. In Malaysia, there are 860 of small – scale chicken slaughterhouse industries compared to 317 of large – scale chicken slaughterhouse industries. These small – scale chicken slaughterhouse industries are commonly located near the residential area and sub – urban area without effluent treatment. This paper explained the procedure of handling the chicken at small – scale chicken slaughterhouse industry, production of volumes and quality characteristics effluent. Samples of chicken slaughterhouse effluent were collected at Parit Samijan, Parit Raja, Batu Pahat, and Johor, Malaysia. A small – scale chicken slaughterhouse effluent produced of volumes 88.34-litre per day and exhibit high concentration of BOD, COD and TSS with the value of 2152 mg/L, 5381 mg/L and 297 mg/L respectively. Therefore, proper wastewater treatment in the small – scale chicken slaughterhouse industries are vital for the safe disposal.
