Manacor livestock and agricultural developments

Overview

In Manacor, local and regional authorities are negotiating the status of a municipal slaughterhouse project. The Manacor City Council, the Mallorca Council, and the Government of the Balearic Islands are discussing next steps for the infrastructure, which is deemed essential for the island’s livestock sector, following the resignation of the previously awarded company.

Separately, the Balearic government has launched an investigation into an intensive poultry farm in Mirabò, Manacor, following complaints from animal welfare organizations. Reports submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office alleged severe hygiene issues and welfare violations at the Avícola Son Perot facility, including infestations and bird injuries. While the farm’s warehouses were recently emptied to move animals to slaughterhouses in Murcia, officials are investigating whether the documented conditions warrant administrative proceedings and addressing potential food safety concerns.
