Localities need to complete its construction and commission of all concentrated slaughterhouses. It is expected that by 2023, the whole province will have 58 slaughter establishments, down 13 establishments compared to the present. Provinces with centralized slaughterhouses already in operation have to withdraw all temporary slaughter sites and thoroughly deal with illegal slaughter.
