Despite this positive result, the environmental impacts which were caused by those production activities need to be analyzed. Thus, this paper aimed to evaluate the consumption of water and energy, informed in the environmental licensing processes in Bahia, spent for animal slaughtering activity. For that, data from 13 slaughterhouses and 12 refrigerators recorded in INEMA, from 2006 up to 2012 were used. The results have showed that 75% of the industries that slaughter cattle have high rates of water consumption, with average scores of 1.663 L/animal in slaughterhouses and 1,216 L/animal in cold storage chamber, reaching this figure to 100% in pig slaughtering industries, with an average consumption of 1,093 L/animal in slaughterhouses and 1,125 L/animal in refrigerating chambers. In chicken slaughtering, the average water consumption was 16 L/animal in slaughterhouses and 18 L/animal in cold storage chamber, compatible to benchmark data in the industry. In the energy aspect, it was not possible to quantify the total consumption due to the absence of electricity consumption data. Related to thermal energy, both cattle slaughter industries, which consume on average 241.9 kWh/animal, such as chicken slaughter, with an average consumption of 1.8 kWh/animal in slaughterhouses and 1.6 kWh/animal in refrigerators, they have showed high values, emphasizing the lack of data from that nature for the pigs slaughtering. The absence of such data indicates that this approach is not yet part of the Environmental Agency initiatives and that the concept of eco-efficiency is also not incorporated in the analysis of environmental licensing. / O Brasil atualmente ? um dos maiores produtores e exportadores de carne no mundo. Apesar deste enfoque positivo, agrega-se a esta atividade impactos ambientais que necessitam ser analisados. Neste sentido, este trabalho objetivou avaliar o consumo de ?gua e de energia informados nos processos de licenciamento ambiental do estado da Bahia para a atividade de abate de animais. Para isso, utilizou-se de dados de 13 abatedouros e 12 frigor?ficos protocolados no INEMA no per?odo de 2006 a 2012. Os resultados indicaram que 75% das ind?strias que abatem bovinos possuem altos ?ndices de consumo de ?gua, com resultados m?dios de 1.663 L/animal nos abatedouros e de 1.216 L/animal nos frigor?ficos, chegando esse ?ndice a 100% nas ind?strias de abate de su?nos, com consumo m?dio de 1.093 L/animal nos abatedouros e 1.125 L/animal nos frigor?ficos. No abate de frango, o consumo m?dio de ?gua foi de 16 L/animal nos abatedouros e 18 L/animal nos frigor?ficos, compat?vel com dados de benchmark do setor. No aspecto energia n?o foi poss?vel quantificar o consumo total devido ? inexist?ncia de dados de consumo de energia el?trica. Quanto ? energia t?rmica, tanto as ind?strias de abate de bovinos, consumindo em m?dia 241,9 kWh/animal, como a de frango, com consumo m?dio de 1,8 kWh/animal nos abatedouros e 1,6 kWh/animal nos frigor?ficos, apresentaram valores elevados, ressaltando-se a falta de dados desta natureza no abate de su?nos. A inexist?ncia tais dados indica que esse tipo de abordagem ainda n?o ? uma iniciativa do ?rg?o Ambiental e que o conceito de ecoefici?ncia n?o est? incorporado nas an?lises do licenciamento ambiental.
