Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering

Animal (except poultry) slaughtering employers process live animals into meat products for food use. Jobs commonly include slaughterhouse operations, meat cutting and trimming, equipment cleaning and sanitation, packaging support, quality checks, and warehouse or production line work. The work is hands-on, fast-paced, and typically involves strong food-safety and hygiene procedures, often with shift work and physical demands. Entry-level roles may be available with on-the-job training, but safety practices are essential.
