The study investigates the constraints to use modern animal processing technologies in the study area. Multi-stage sampling techniques were used to collect 112 respondents through a well-structured questionnaire in the study area. The objectives were addressed using descriptive statistics while inferential statistics such as Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC) were used to test hypothesis. The results show that majority (100%) of respondents were male who engaged in animal slaughtering in the abattoir, 90.1% were married with 32,43% of age range 30-39 years and 45% had their primary school leaving certificate ass their level of education background in the study area. Result also revealed that availability of modern animal processing technologies were 100% ranging from Stunning machine, Bleeding machine, Effluent management, Skinning machine, Evisceration and viscera inspection, Splitting machine, Solid waste, Transportation, Security, Lairage, Cold room and Washing equipment in the study area.  Result further revealed that 71.2% of the respondents had illiteracy as severe constraint while 88.3% of respondents had Culture barrier, 77.5% had inadequate transportation from the abattoir site to market in the city, 68,5% had Religious barrier and 62.2% had fluctuation of electricity as mild constraints in the study area. The result of analysis revealed that there is a negatively inverse significant relationship between constraints and utilization of modern animal processing technologies among butchers in the study area. It is therefore, recommended that Government should enact laws and regulations that will make non-compliance with utilization of modern animal processing technologies a punishable offence in the study area.
