This book provides both evidence-based scientific studies and
practical guidance to enhance the welfare of cattle, pigs, sheep
and poultry at slaughter. Temple Grandin and Michael Cockram have
brought together a range of international experts to prepare
chapters on philosophical and ethical views on the slaughter of
farmed animals. These include welfare issues and their assessment,
the condition of animals on arrival and their management during
lairage, animal handling, methods of humane slaughter and
assessment of unconsciousness. The book boldly tackles
controversial issues around the compromises necessary when
balancing animal welfare concerns with commercial realities, as
well as religious slaughter. Chapters cover methods of stunning,
pre-slaughter handling, equipment design, monitoring welfare with
abattoir data and auditing methods. It is an important publication
for those involved in implementing improvements in the humane
slaughter of farmed animals and is recommended for veterinarians,
students, abattoir managers and government regulators.
