Sixty three slaughter house/places as well as 108 curing and storage establishments for hides and skins of 14 districts were visited.

A large number of factors of post-mortem defects in hides and skins associated with operations at slaughter house/places included incorrect design of the flaying knife (e.g. sharp pointed knife), careless and rapid flaying, inexperienced flayers particularly during Eid-ul-Azha festivals, artificial overstretching particularly of the goat skins, non- inclusion of cutaneous muscles in the hides and skins at the urban areas.
