Slaughtering stages

A two-stage process for the slaughter of animals is used in most countries. The first stage of the process, usually called stunning, renders the animal unconscious, but not dead; in the second stage, the animal is killed. This ensures that the animal is dispatched quickly and cleanly with the minimum of stress.

Stunning

Each animal is brought from the outdoor holding shed into the stunning pen individually. Once it is in the pen, the animal’s head is swiftly secured and a captive bolt inserted into the brain, which renders the animal senseless. Then the animal is released from the restrainer and attached to a hook in the conveyor system that hoists it up. The stunned animal then travels to the proceeding areas to be bled out, skinned, gutted and halved.
