 Meat-packing millionaire [Philip Armour]’s invention of the “disassembly line” greatly increased the productivity and profit margin of industrial meatpacking businesses: “according to some, animal slaughtering became the first mass-production industry in the United States, from which Henry Ford partially adapted his conception of assembly-line production.

 
The largest slaughterhouse in the world is operated by the Smithfield Packing Company in Tar Heel, North Carolina. It is capable of butchering over 32,000 pigs a day. In the US, the majority of major meat packing plants are located in the Midwestern and High Plains regions
 
 
the slaughterhouse as a "unique institution" emerged in the eighteenth century. Prior to this, animals were “slaughtered for consumption in diverse places”. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a combination of health and social concerns led “reformers” to call for the isolation and sequester of animal slaughter. These reformers were concerned with the hygiene and disease as well as the effect the killing would have both on the butchers and the observers, which one critic of the time claimed “educated the men in the practice of violence and cruelty, so that they seem to have no restraint on the use of it.” As a result of this tension, meat markets within the city were closed and abattoirs built outside city limits. In 1747, an ordinance in the United States “forbade people from slaughtering cattle at their home."
