14 HUMANE SLAUGHTER OF RED MEAT SPECIES (ANIMAL WELFARE)

15 What is animal welfare? What is important to the well being of the animals?

16 WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO WELL- BEING OF ANIMALS? Food, water Rest Health Sleep Natural activities

17 FIVE FREEDOMS 1- Freedom from Hunger and Thirst 2- Freedom from Discomfort 3- Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease 4- Freedom to Express Normal Behavior 5- Freedom from Fear and Distress

18 FIVE RESPONSIBILITIES 1- provide adequate and suitable food, water and rest 2- ensure, facilities i.e. vehicles, and handling practices are suitable for the number and type of animals 3- assess and manage animals so that unfit ones are quickly detected and treated 4- ensure groups are maintained to avoid fights and have enough space to interact 5- provide a safe environment

19 ANIMAL WELFARE Welfare defines the state of an animal as regards its attempts to cope with its environment. (Fraser & Broom, 1990)

20 STRESS AND STRESSORS injury hunger new environment fear noise discomfort thirst

21 PHYSIOLOGY (normal) Change in outside situation (outside stimuli, stressors perceived by receptors) = Change of mental state (arousal) = Physiological responses (run to safe distance or resume grazing)

22 PHYSIOLOGY (in lead up to slaughter) Outside stimuli - stressors Change of animal mental status Physiological response action If animals action doesn't help to cope with stress and solve the problem = Distress and suffering

23 ANIMAL WELFARE, STRESS AND DISTRESS Stress does not equal to distress and suffering. Stress is result of simple stimulus recognised by animal as aversive one. Suffering is a result of animals inability to cope with stress while - character of stress itself is too serious, complicated or prolonged - animal is not capable to act towards elimination of stress.

24 SIGNS OF HIGH STRESS AND DISTRESS Vocalisation Restlessness high level of movement Unresponsiveness Increased excretion Lying down in a new environment Panting

25 DISTRESS - UNRESPONSIVENESS

26 CAPACITY TO COPE Age Sex Breed Type Physiology Health Previous experience

27 FACTORS CHANGING WELFARE OF ANIMALS AT THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE Welfare defines the state of an animal as regards its attempts to cope with its environment. (Fraser & Broom, 1990) Environment - Slaughterhouse design and technology - Variable (can be improved) - Handlers and slaughter men - Variable (can be improved)

28 KEY COMPONENTS OF HUMANE SLAUGHTER DESIGN OF PREMISES STAFF COMPETENCE TOOLS (Fit for Purpose)

29 CONCEPT OF GOOD DEATH In 2003 addition to the Five Freedoms- welfare of animals at slaughter - the basic principles that must be observed to safeguard good death are: Pre-slaughter handling methods and facilities which minimize stress The use of competent, well trained and caring personnel Appropriate equipment that is fit for purpose An effective process that induces immediate unconsciousness and insensibility, or an induction to a period of unconsciousness without distress; A guarantee of non-recovery from that process until death

30 Why is Animal Welfare important in pre-slaughter and slaughter?

31 WHY IS AW IMPORTANT IN PRE SLAUGHTER AND SLAUGHTER Welfare of animals / handlers Safety and welfare of workers, prevention of injury Meat quality Effectiveness and efficiency

32 WHY IS ANIMAL WELFARE OF SLAUGHTER ANIMALS IMPORTANT Every year there are animals killed for food in the world /day 2000/ second The last hours of the life of the animal are the most stressful. Acute/chronic stress/

33 SAFETY OF OPERATIONS AND PREVENTION OF INJURY Panicked and stressed animals can cause injury to other animals and handlers as well Over 50 % of deaths at the farms in last 10 years in Ireland were caused by bulls

34 MEAT QUALITY, BAD WELFARE = BAD PRODUCT QUALITY RUBISH IN RUBISH OUT.. BRUISES ECONOMIC LOSSES Sourcew WSPA Steps programme

35 EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY Effectiveness is doing the right things Efficiency is doing things right; Source WSPA Steps programme

36 LEGISLATION AND STANDARDS OIE Guidelines Terrestrial Animal Health Code (2007) CHAPTER 7.3. Guidelines for the transport of animals by land CHAPTER 7.5. Guidelines for the slaughter of animals
