The Compilation of Data from Slaughterhouses and Poultry Dressing Plants (CDSPDP) is one of the regular activities of the Livestock and Poultry Statistics Division (LPSD) under the Economic Sector Statistics Service (ESSS). This is conducted to provide statistics on the number of animals/birds slaughtered/dressed in slaughterhouses or poultry dressing plants. The data generated from this activity:  a.) serves as indicator/data check in the validation of production estimates for livestock and poultry commodities;b.) validates the average carcass weight per animal type; and c.) guides the policy makers in crafting policy and program related to meat supply and food safety.
