Hind Agro Industries Ltd., (HAIL) is a 100% export oriented modern integrated
abattoir - cum - meat processing plant for buffaloes and sheep meat with an installed
capacity of 33510 MT of chilled and frozen meat per annum. It has been set up
by M/s Hind Agro Industries Ltd.with the cooperation of three agencies of State
and Central Government i.e. UP Pashudhan Udhyog Nigam Ltd.; a UP State Govt. Undertaking;
the Pradeshiya Industrial and Investment Corporation of U.P. Ltd. (PICUP), a UP
State Financial Institution; and Food Processing Department, Government of India.
The plant has been established with the technical know - how and collaboration
of Fletcher Projects of Newzeland and Seanet of Australia and commercial production
was commended from June 1997. The present operating capacity of the plant is Buffalo
- 800 nos. per day and Sheep 100 nos. per day. The estimated waste generation
at present is about 50 tonnes per day consisting of (i) Animal Droppings (ii)
Rumen (iii) Fat and Grease and (iv) Fodder Residues and Hay. The Sources,
Waste Quantity and the Characteristics of the wastes are as below; Waste

COST ECONOMICS Total cost of the project is Rs.325.00
lakh + USD 6.56,000. 50% of this has been borne by M/s HAIL and the rest by NBB/MNES. BENEFITS
ACHIEVED - Fuel Savings/ Revenue Earned: The plant is expected
to save electrical energy consumption of the factory
- Waste Management/
Cleanliness: The project is expected to demonstrate an eco - friendly solid waste
management technology for abattoir industry with a view to minimize green house
gas emissions and odour nuisance significantly.
