For an Indonesian pig slaughterhouse, define the project as Rumah Potong Hewan Babi (RPH-B) when discussing its process and species. Establish the applicable business and veterinary route before fixing the scalding, dehairing, dressing and inspection layout.
Source review: 11 October 2026 (2026-10-11). The notes below identify official references and practical questions for a proposed pig facility. Obtain written, site-specific confirmation from the responsible authorities before procurement.
Use the 2025 regulation when checking the current framework
Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 34/2025 was adopted on 1 December 2025 and promulgated on 9 December 2025 (State Gazette No. 1025). Article 53 brings it into force on promulgation. Article 52(1)(m) repeals Regulation No. 11/2020 on NKV certification. The new annex contains the non-poultry slaughter and meat-packing standard (KBLI 10110) and an NKV certification standard. These provide the framework to discuss with the competent authority; identify which species-specific clauses and approvals apply to the proposed pig facility.
Pig-specific technical guide
The Ministry of Agriculture repository dates Pedoman Rumah Potong Hewan Babi to October 2022. Its stated purpose is to guide veterinary public health and animal welfare in pig slaughterhouse construction and operation. Use it as a technical reference alongside the newer licensing framework. Its publication predates Regulation No. 34/2025.
Design implications for the equipment brief
Design implication: The following are engineering preparation suggestions derived from the reviewed topics; they are not a permit application checklist issued by an authority.
- Show pig reception, examination access and the process from stunning/bleeding through scalding/dehairing to dressing.
- Mark carcass/organ inspection, identification, retained material and the refrigeration/dispatch route.
- Add a water, heat, power and drainage table; identify who designs wastewater treatment locally.
- State the pig-only scope. Confirm species-specific requirements before using clauses written for ruminants. Halal process claims do not establish a pig-line requirement.
Questions to resolve with the local authority
- Which current OSS business scope, NKV route and veterinary approvals apply to this RPH-B, ownership structure and location?
- Which clauses in the non-poultry slaughter standard apply to pigs, and is the 2022 RPH-B guide still the accepted technical reference locally?
- Who is responsible for veterinary supervision and inspection, and what staffing and facility arrangements must the drawings show?
- Which current environmental, land-use, construction and waste approvals must be completed before installation or operation?
Official references and version notes
- Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 34/2025: Effective 9 December 2025. Article 52 repeals No. 11/2020; see the KBLI 10110 and NKV annex sections. Confirm later amendments and project applicability.
- Ministry of Agriculture RPH-B technical guide: Repository publication date: October 2022; technical guide, not a current permit or certificate.
Prepare the next design discussion
Collect the project information · Review pig slaughterhouse layout inputs · Prepare an equipment brief · Discuss your proposed pig line.
An equipment proposal should state its assumptions, the documents still required and the authority comments that may change the layout.
