Abstract
Colored broiler in Taiwan have been transported and slaughtered freshly in markets for years. However, 22% of chickens sold are qualified by Ministry of Health and Welfare. Although Animal Industry Act has ruled that the poultry should be slaughtered in slaughterhouses before, to take the vendors in the traditional markets into consideration, it has set an exceptional clause to make the poultry be slaughtered in markets and temporary fairs. Because the bird flu has kept happening and to prevent people from infecting, the government suggested that the traditional markets are forbidden to slaughtering and selling chickens in the traditional markets are not allowed in 2008. Due to the pressure mentioned above, vendors and butcheries started to apply for a license to establish small-scale poultry slaughterhouses in 2009. There are two butcheries in Miaoli area and it should be examined deeply whether they operate efficiently and reach at the break-even point. Through marketing field research, there are three findings as follows. First, because the charges of small-scale slaughterhouses are lower than the actual operation costs, they are still in the red. Second, although the butcheries are the roles of livestock keepers, profits mainly come from selling. Therefore, the profit of selling must be operating differential subsidy to keep the operation of the small-scale slaughterhouses. Third, though the butcheries are able to keep selling poultry meat, the operating performance of the slaughterhouses is not high. As a result, according to this research, it is suggested that butcheries increase production of slaughtering and the market scope to reach the goal of the break-even point and sustainable management.
