SUMMARY:

This paper presents debates on the construction and operation of the Santa Cruz Public Slaughterhouse, Rio de Janeiro, between 1870 and 1920, and the conflicts about science, technology and politics to make it a Model Slaughterhouse, as promised by Emperor Pedro II. When analyzing these debates, we come across descriptions that
reveal concerns about public health, the introduction of new techniques and methods, hygienist and sanitary politics, and microscopic research. However, political collusion denied science and new techniques, preventing their introduction and putting the health of the population that consumes green meat at risk. The dispute for political and economic power between the imperial government, the City Council and the merchants transformed the first Industrial Slaughterhouse in Brazil, and a model for other municipalities, into a scenario of conflict, unhealthiness and disease. For this research, we selected newspapers from the period, minutes of the City Council, lawsuits and complaints from employees of the Slaughterhouse, industrial privileges and lease books of the Santa Cruz Farm, which allowed us to map and analyze various discourses that directly threatened public health.
