What are the specific procedures for slaughter in bovines, equines, and pigs?
The animal must be immediately hung on the bleeding rail after being insensitized. The time between insensitization and slaughter should be minimized to avoid the animal regaining consciousness. The slaughter must be performed by cutting the two carotid arteries or the blood vessels from which they originate. The knives must be well sharpened and disinfected between each use. The personnel must be trained to recognize signs of consciousness recovery in the animals.
