Any slaughtering establishment which wishes to conduct its slaughtering operations
under state meat inspection service shall apply to the division for a license to
slaughter as provided in section 3-2002. Establishments shall then make written
application to the division requesting state meat inspection service. The associate
director upon receipt of the application shall request the chief veterinary meat
inspector to make an inspection of the premises of the slaughtering establishment making
application. If the establishment is found clean and sanitary and meets the requirements
of the provisions of this chapter, the associate director shall authorize the granting of
state meat inspection service to the applicant. The division shall then assign an
official establishment number to the approved slaughtering establishment to be used to
mark the meat of the carcass and parts of carcasses which are offered for sale.
