Halal Kill System
This machine can be situated under any existing line with minor line
modifications. It allows the processor to offer true Halal products
while retaining profit margins due to the minimal wing damage or
downgrades.
From an animal welfare perspective there are some major benefits
from the system, says the company. The birds can be seen entering the
system in no distress at all – the clamping mechanism is gentle and
sympathetic to the bird. Live birds have been passed through the system
and lifted off with no adverse effects.
According to the company, the principle of the system is to restrict
the nerve impulse once the incision has been made and to protect the
live birds either side from this movement.
