The abattoir, which was built with the assistance of regional development finance, will be able to process up to 600 rabbits a day. Until now. rabbits have been processed at chicken abattoirs. According to the manager of the Ashburton Processing Company, Ltd, Mr David Dutton, the slaughterhouse is thought to be the first specialist rabbit abattoir in New Zealand.
