As per the provisions of the Food Safety & Standards Act 2006, stunning is mandatory before slaughtering animals

Key Points

  1. Stunning can be effected through asphyxiating the animals with carbon dioxide, shooting them with a gun or a captive bolt pistol, or shocking them with electric current.
  2. By inducing unconsciousness and insensibility, stunning can avoid and minimize reactions of fear and anxiety as well as pain, suffering, and distress among the animals concerned.
  3. Stunning methods induce temporary loss of consciousness and rely on prompt and accurate sticking procedures to cause death.

 Important Points

There are two methods of Stunning:
Mechanical stunning:
  • Mechanical stunning of cattle may be carried out by three methods that are captive bolt stunning, mushroom head percussive stunning, and pneumatic percussive stunning. 
  • For cattle, pneumatic stunning should be preferred. 
  • If an animal shows signs of regaining consciousness after the initial stun, the animal must be immediately killed by the use of a captive bolt gun. 
 
Electrical stunning:
  • Electrical Head Stunners may be preferred for sheep and goats where both electrodes are placed on the head region.
  • Water bath electrical stunning may be used for poultry birds. 
  • A low and controlled voltage must be maintained so that the stunning will not damage the heart and brain or cause physical disability and death to the animals.
