Slaughterhouse industry generates considerable amount of wastewater rich in proteins, lipids, fibres, and carbohydrates. Numerous technologies such as electrocoagulation, membrane separation, advanced oxidation, physico-chemical processes, and biological treatment have been implemented for reducing the concentrations of these compounds. Nevertheless, this review aims to provide extensive information solely on the biological treatment (anaerobic and aerobic) of slaughterhouse wastewater. The advantages of anaerobic treatment are excellent organic matter removal, less sludge production, low energy requirement, execution of higher loading rates, and considerable production of biogas. Aerobic treatment on the other hand is a less sensitive process, possess lower start-up period, and efficient nutrient removal process. Numerous case studies are described to bestow maximum understanding of the wastewater characteristics, kind of treatment employed, and complications involved in managing and treating of slaughterhouse effluent. Additionally, role of microbial community involved in the treatment of slaughterhouse waste is also discussed. Sequential anaerobic and aerobic reactors are also reviewed in order to present their advantages over single bioreactors. Intermittent sequencing batch reactor is a promising technology than other high rate digesters in the removal of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous.
