Abstract

The study examined the locational characteristics and impacts of attenda abattoir, Ogbomoso town, Oyo state, Nigeria. This is with a view to proffering recommendations that will aid the achievement of sustainable development in the area. To achieve this, a ring of 100 meter radius was delineated around the abattoir, and a landuse inventory was done. Thereafter, observation and measurement was done daily in the abattoir for a month, excluding Sundays that operations were not carried. Observations made include daily numbers of cow killed, the volume of wastewater utilised in the slaughter slab, and characteristics of the semisolid waste disposed daily. To assess the impact of the abattoir, water samples were obtained from point of discharged (POD) of waste water to the stream, 30 meters, 60 meters and 90 meters on the course of the stream. Also samples were obtained from a well each, found within 30 meters, 60 meters, and 90 meters from the abattoir. The obtained water samples were tested for pH, Conductivity, Lead, Dissolved Oxygen, Cadmium, and bacterial content such as salmonella sp. and E.coli, using the procedure of Magaji and Chup, (2012). Obtained data were subjected to descriptive statistics such as frequency count and percentage. Tables were also used to summarise data. The closest landuse to the abattoir is a 40 km stream with the setback of 2.6 meters. This setback is used as waste dump. In the abattoir, an average of 19 cows are killed daily. For this operation, an average of 1153.7 litres of wastewater is generated and discharged into the nearby stream. Hence the pH value of the stream is 5.20, 5.35, 5.41 and 5.40 respectively at POD, 30 meter, 60 meters and 90 meters respectively. Also, the concentration of Lead (Fe2+) in water samples is higher than FEPA limits of 0.01mg/l. The study recommends relocation of abattoir, urban renewal of abattoir area, and encouragement of residents and butchers to visit hospital for medical checkups. The study therefore concludes that sustainable environmental management cannot be achieved without effective landuse planning.

尼日利亚Ogbomoso Attenda屠宰场的位置特征和影响

该研究考察了尼日利亚奥约州Ogbomoso镇attenda屠宰场的位置特征和影响。这是为了提出有助于实现该地区可持续发展的建议。为了实现这一点，在屠宰场周围划定了一个半径为100米的环形区域，并对土地使用情况进行了清查。此后，在一个月的时间里，每天在屠宰场进行观察和测量，不包括没有进行手术的周日。观察结果包括每天杀死的奶牛数量、屠宰板中使用的废水量以及每天处理的半固体废物的特性。为了评估屠宰场的影响，从废水排放到溪流的30米、60米和90米处采集了水样。此外，在距离屠宰场30米、60米和90米的范围内分别从一口井中获得了样本。使用Magaji和Chup（2012）的程序，对获得的水样进行pH、电导率、铅、溶解氧、镉和细菌含量测试，如沙门氏菌和大肠杆菌。对获得的数据进行描述性统计，如频率计数和百分比。表格也用于总结数据。离屠宰场最近的土地是一条40公里长的溪流，后退2.6米。此后退处用作垃圾场。在屠宰场，平均每天有19头牛被宰杀。在这项作业中，平均产生1153.7升废水，并排放到附近的溪流中。因此，在POD、30米、60米和90米处，溪流的pH值分别为5.20、5.35、5.41和5.40。此外，水样中的铅（Fe2+）浓度高于FEPA限值0.01mg/l。该研究建议搬迁屠宰场，对屠宰场区域进行城市更新，并鼓励居民和屠夫去医院进行体检。因此，该研究得出结论，如果没有有效的土地利用规划，就无法实现可持续的环境管理。
