“…ABMs related to consciousness were described in a previous EFSA Opinion (EFSA AHAW Panel, 2013a ), which reported a toolbox for several stunning methods. The use of these indicators is also reviewed in a recent publication (Tetlow et al, 2022 ) in terms of feasibility.…”

Sheep and goats of different ages may have to be killed on‐farm for purposes other than slaughter (where slaughter is defined as killing for human consumption) either individually (i.e. on‐farm killing of unproductive, injured or terminally ill animals) or on a large scale (i.e. depopulation for disease control purposes and for other situations, such as environmental contamination and disaster management) outside the slaughterhouses. The purpose of this opinion was to assess the hazards and welfare consequences associated with the on‐farm killing of sheep and goats. The whole killing procedure was divided into Phase 1 (pre‐killing) – that included the processes (i) handling and moving the animals to the killing place and (ii) restraint of the animals before application of the killing methods and Phase 2 – that included stunning and killing of the animals. The killing methods for sheep and goats were grouped into three categories: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) lethal injection. Welfare consequences that sheep and goats may experience during each process were identified (e.g. handling stress, restriction of movements and tissue lesions during restraint) and animal‐based measures (ABMs) to assess them were proposed. During application of the killing method, sheep and goats will experience pain and fear if they are ineffectively stunned or if they recover consciousness. ABMs related to the state of consciousness can be used to indirectly assess pain and fear. Flowcharts including ABMs for consciousness specific to each killing method were included in the opinion. Possible welfare hazards were identified for each process, together with their origin and related preventive and corrective measures. Outcome tables linking hazards, welfare consequences, ABMs, origins, preventive and corrective measures were developed for each process. Mitigation measures to minimise welfare consequences were proposed.

“…Perobohan paksa ini biasanya jika RPH tidak mempunyai tongkat stunning. Stunning atau pemingsanan adalah proses pemingsanan secara mekanis dengan menggunakan alat sejenis tongkat pistol yang diletakkan ke kepala dengan kecepatan 60-75 m/detik dalam waktu 7-8 milidetik sehingga menimbulkan disfungsi sistim saraf (Tetlow, Brennan, and Garcia, 2022). Stunning membutuhkan orang yang ahli dalam menggunakannya.…”

Proses pemotongan hewan di Rumah Potong Hewan (RPH) harus dilakukan dengan baik dari pengangkutan hingga pemotongan agar tidak berakibat stres dan kesakitan pada hewan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengevaluasi apakah proses pemotongan ternak sapi di RPH telah memenuhi standar dan menerapkan prinsip animal welfare. Materi penelitian adalah 20 ekor Sapi Limosin dengan rata-rata bobot badan ±350 kg. Metode Penelitian adalah survey. Kasus yang diamati adalah kedaan fisiologis sebelum penyembelihan (P1) dan setelah penyembelihan (P2). Variabel yang diamati adalah kadar hormon Cortisol, Malondialdehid (MDA), Superoksida Dimustase (SOD). Data dianalisa menggunakan tabel anova dan menggunakan uji t. Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa Kortisol dan MDA sebelum dilakukan penyembelihan (P1) berbeda sangat nyata (P≤0,01) dengan setelah dilakukan penyembelihan (P2). Rata-rata kadar hormon Kortisol sebelum penyembelihan adalah 47,6±1,22 nmol/L dan setelah penyembelihan adalah 58,16±2,22 nmol/L. Kadar MDA (P1) adalah 20,02±0,73 mmol/L dan P2 dalah 30,91±0,99 mmol/L. Kadar SOD sebelum penyembelihan (P1) berbeda nyata dengan setelah penyembelihan (P2). Rata-rata kadar SOD (P1) adalah 4,68±0,47 mmol/L dan (P2) adalah 3,78±0.08 mmol/L. Kesimpulan adalah perlakuan pemotongan di RPH masih menunjukkan adanya stres pada ternak. Saran dilakukan upaya pengurangan stres pada ternak terutama pada saat perobohan ternak sebelum disembelih.
