Comparison between halal and conventional cattle slaughter in an islamic and zootechnical view
Keywords:
Animal, suffering, stunning, religion, slaughter, cattleAbstract
Among the cattle meat production systems, the halal system is the one accepted by the Muslim community spread in several countries, representing millions of people. The conventional system, as understood in this research, is one that involves zootechnical aspects, in short, productive efficiency. The hypothesis of this research was based on the position that halal slaughter constitutes a superior practice to conventional slaughter. What would it mean, if this “superiority” of halal slaughter over conventional slaughter was confirmed, that it is more humanized and efficient. The main research was classified as qualitative, and it developed between april 2020 and february2021. As a result, it was found that the view of being bovine slaughter only the stages of stunning and bleeding (or sticking) limits the analysis in the comparison between conventional and halal slaughter. It was concluded, therefore, that the slaughter is a long process that begins with the loading of the animal on the farm, therefore, it is necessary broader and deeper studies with analyzes of the ethological and biochemical indicators of animal stress in the stages of slaughter here explaned, to produce a safer and more precise opinion as to which form of slaughter, halal or conventional, is less stressful for cattle.
