Welfare of cattle in terms of slaughter methods

Currently, the public is concerned not only with the quality of food products, but also with the methods of obtaining these products. For animal products such as milk and meat, the conditions under which animals are reared and slaughtered are of prime importance. The circumstances of slaughter are subject to strict regulations related to animal welfare, food hygiene and safety, as well as working conditions. Humane slaughter regulations aim to minimize anxiety, pain, and distress or suffering at slaughter. Therefore, from the welfare point of view, the basic purpose of stunning is to render the animal unconscious and insensible so that it may not feel pain during slaughter. Current slaughter methods are either conventional (with stunning) or prescribed by religious tradition (without stunning). In most countries that require pre-slaughter stunning, there is dispensation for religious slaughter methods. The religious dispensation is allowed on the basis of human rights, which take precedence over animal welfare in all but a few European countries. Halal (Muslim) and Shechita (Jewish) slaughter methods, the principle religious slaughter techniques, are subject to much debate. With regard to religious slaughter, most objections are raised against the method of neck cutting without prior stunning and, to some extent, against the pre- and post-slaughter handling of animals. It is also suggested that a compromise can be reached between the requirements of religious slaughter and animal welfare, as well as humanitarian principles. This review presents the results of recent research concerning the impact of slaughter methods (conventional vs. religious) on animal welfare, as well as the technological parameters and hygienic criteria of the slaughter process.
