In slaughter houses overall management will be conducted only by veterinaries, and in other facilities management could be handled by veterinaries, food engineers, and/or by agricultural engineers specialized in food science and animal science. Facility managements are obliged to notify pertinent authorities in case of any disease outbreak or suspicious animal deaths.
