The Effect of Stunning on Chicken Meat Stunning, a process that renders animals unconscious before slaughter, has a significant impact on chicken meat quality and safety. Here are some effects of stunning on chicken meat: Improved Meat Quality Reduced stress: Stunning minimizes stress in chickens, leading to better meat quality and tenderness. Less muscle damage: Stunning prevents chickens from flapping and struggling, reducing muscle damage and resulting in more intact meat. Enhanced Food Safety Reduced risk of contamination: Stunning helps prevent fecal contamination, minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination like Salmonella. Improved bleeding: Stunning ensures proper bleeding, reducing the risk of residual blood in the meat. Animal Welfare Humane treatment: Stunning ensures that chickens are treated humanely, reducing suffering and pain during the slaughter process. Economic Benefits Increased efficiency: Stunning streamlines the slaughter process, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Better yields: Stunning helps maintain better meat yields, reducing waste and increasing profitability. In summary, stunning has a positive impact on chicken meat quality, safety, animal welfare, and the economy. It is an essential step in the slaughter process, ensuring that chicken meat is produced in a humane and efficient manner. #foodsafety #foodhygiene #processimprovement #animalwelfare Taghini Foods

The Forgotten Danes' Christmas Calendar ?? December 10th ?? "The tools at The Good Slaughterhouse are used creatively" ?? Behind today’s door is a glimpse at one of the tools the "good butcher" uses on smaller animals. An electrically charged device with teeth that must be clamped around the animal’s head. The teeth need to be pressed firmly into the skin. The butcher must ensure that the animal receives enough electricity to be rendered unconscious, as this is the action intended to prevent the animal from being awake and experiencing having its throat slit. What if this device is used simultaneously to drag the animals along? Is that effective, or is it truly cruel and thoughtless? ? The butcher pulls the animal by the head, and often the clamp loses its grip. This means that the animal hasn’t been properly stunned but now also has wounds and tears from the teeth of the electric device. The butcher then reapplies the device to the animal’s head and pulls again... until they both reach the slaughter floor, where he finally completes the act of slitting their throats, leaving them to bleed out. Many see the documentation from The Good Slaughterhouse and think it’s so horrible that it must be halal. But it’s not. This is the Good Danish Welfare Meat you find in the supermarket’s refrigerated section. Free-range, Organic, Local. The best of the best. ?? At least, that’s what they say. The animals definitely don’t agree. ?? Tune in tonight at 7:00 PM ? as we take a closer look at the butcher’s tool and his "creative" handling. Sign up to our newsletter and receive the updates straight in your email inbox. ?? deglemtedanske.dk Thank you for your care for the animals.

I recently shared that Evermore Pet Food became the first commercially prepared food to achieve full compliance with the Better Chicken Commitment and attained G.A.P. Step 4 certification. To ground what this looks like in more concrete terms, I wrote about our recent vendor visit to Mary's Free-Range Chickens. If you're curious about what high-welfare poultry production looks like at scale, hop over to our blog.

The Times report this morning revealed shocking practices at three RSPCA Assured slaughterhouses, following undercover footage captured by Animal Rising. ? Hidden cameras revealed sheep, pigs, and cows being incorrectly stunned and subjected to horrific handling practices. ? Workers were seen shouting and swearing at terrified animals, with one allegedly using an electric cattle prod illegally. ? At one facility, 96% of cows were goaded in violation of RSPCA guidelines. The #RSPCA has: ? Suspended the three facilities from its ethical labelling scheme. ? Reported the cases to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for further action. While the RSPCA?argues their work raises welfare standards in the meat industry, this exposé proves no slaughter - RSPCA or otherwise - is humane. Improving welfare standards within these inherently flawed systems can only go so far. The actions taken by the RSPCA area step forward, showing that they are taking the issue seriously. However, the systemic nature of these findings cannot be ignored. All farms and slaughterhouses in this investigation were chosen randomly, and serious welfare breaches were found at every single one. These are not isolated “bad apples” but indicative of deeper issues within the industry. Gratitude to the Times and Adam Vaughan for their coverage.
