Prepare an Uzbekistan cattle abattoir around the territorial veterinary conclusion, the 2025 environmental review and the intended carcass/product route before machinery is fixed.
Source review: 2026-10-11. Scope: Cattle slaughter and dressing; other large species require a separate review.
Identify the reviewing authorities
- Territorial veterinary and livestock-development authority
- Environmental authority
- Technical Regulation Agency and the chosen halal certification body
- Local land/building authorities
Official requirements and source scope
Statutory veterinary permission framework
Annex 2 item 15 lists a veterinary-sanitary conclusion for specialized slaughter enterprises and related animal-product operations.
Official source: Law ZRU-701 on licensing, permission and notification procedures.
Official service starting point
Portal service 237 is the veterinary-sanitary conclusion starting point; confirm territorial filing, species scope and current document requirements.
Official source: Veterinary-sanitary conclusion for a specialized slaughter enterprise.
Current environmental framework
The 2025 environmental law establishes expertise and impact-assessment procedures; confirm the project's category and materials before construction.
Official source: Law ZRU-1036 on environmental expertise and impact assessment.
Voluntary halal certification
Resolution 57/2025, effective 2 May 2025, provides voluntary Halol certification and assessment; it does not replace veterinary permission.
Official source: Cabinet Resolution No. 57/2025 on Halol certification.
Certification-body enquiry
Check the selected body's slaughter/species scope, applicable standard and intended buyer's recognition before describing the operation as certified.
Official source: UzHalalTest certification-body information.
Halal cattle route: confirm the assessment scope
Develop the halal assessment scope under the voluntary Halol procedure and agree the slaughter method with the selected competent body.
- Will the selected Halol body assess the cattle species, method and facility scope proposed?
- What personnel, restraint presentation and operational records must be demonstrated?
- Will the buyer recognize the resulting certificate for the named product and destination?

Non-halal conventional cattle route: confirm local admissibility
Plan the conventional operation through the same applicable veterinary, building and environmental reviews; do not add a halal label without supporting conformity.
- Which cattle slaughter method and operating conditions will the veterinary authority accept?
- What review is needed if slaughter, cutting and storage are combined in one enterprise?
- How will the conventional products be presented without unsupported halal claims?

Preparation questions for the cattle layout
The following are planning questions from this guide, rather than additional statutory requirements.
- What evidence is needed for the specialized cattle enterprise's veterinary-sanitary conclusion?
- How will live-animal restraint and the first suspended transfer fit the proposed building?
- Where will hide/offal handling, splitting and inspection occur along the cattle rail?
- Which routes are provided for held materials and released carcasses?
- What blood, wash-water and solid-waste information is needed for the project's environmental category?
Design implication for equipment procurement
Engineering interpretation: Prepare one measured cattle route and responsibility schedule for veterinary and environmental review; identify a voluntary halal assessment scope only when requested.
Items the local team still needs to confirm
- The current territorial veterinary submission and species-specific inspection conditions.
- Environmental category and assessment materials under the 2025 law.
- Halal assessment-body scope, method acceptance and buyer/destination recognition.
- The revision effective at filing; no processing time or fee is promised.
