Data were obtained in</div><div>environmental licensing processes, concerning the operations stage, which</div><div>in this case covers the operating licenses, unified and simplified. The average</div><div>consumption rate of water in the fridges was lower than that obtained</div><div>in slaughterhouses. Analyzing individually, it appears that 75% of these</div><div>enterprises do not have indexes compatible with the best technologies that</div><div>are adopted for cattle slaughter. In the case of slaughterhouses the scenario</div><div>is even worse, reaching this index to 87.5%. Associating the carrying water</div><div>consumption, it was found that the larger the slaughterhouses and fridges,</div><div>the lower the spending on water.</div> ER -
