11.—(a) In addition to the general requirements contained in Part I of this Schedule, low throughput slaughterhouses shall have—
(i)a slaughter room large enough for stunning and bleeding on the one hand, and plucking and any scalding of birds or skinning of rabbits on the other, to be carried out in separate places;
(ii)an evisceration and preparation room which is large enough for evisceration to be carried out in a place sufficiently far from other work stations, or separated from them by a partition, so as to prevent contamination;
(b)notwithstanding sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph, the room used for the slaughter of birds or rabbits may also be used for the evisceration and preparation of such birds or rabbits after such room has been cleaned thoroughly and disinfected, after the use for each such operation, so as to minimise the risk of any contamination of meat.
