which are now lost because of the great distances over which animals
have to be moved to the central slaughterhouses.
Through the combined efforts of the large and small modern slaugh,
terhouses, through the improved transportation of the meat from slaugh-
terhouses in refrigerated vans without losses, and through the raising
of the technical level of production, the workers of the whole coon-
try will be efficiently and regularly supplied with fresh, high- qual-
ity meat at all times.
Together with these measures, "Mesotsentrala~t is making plans on
a large scale to increase the output of meat products especially sau'.
sages and canned meats. The existing meat-processing plants are al-
ready being renovated and equipped with the most modern machinery. A
number of large new combines are under construction, which will come
bine meat production with meat processing. Such is the meat combine
in the city of Tolbukhin. Near Sofia, the largest meat-processing
plant in the country is under construction and will be fitted out with
the latest Soviet equipment. It will produce great quantities of
meat products, for which there is a large demand in the capital and
the other cities in the country.
The new measures being undertaken by "Mesotsentralan for the
modernization and sanitation of the meat production and meat proc-
essing will be of great importance in raising the quality of meat
and meat products and will be a new and importand demonstration of
the pains being taken by the people's government to assure the com
plete and qualitative fulfillment of the consumption requirements of
the workers in our country.
