ABSTRACT

The welfare of animals has been a fixture of the Islamic view on the rising and slaughter of animals since the time of Prophet Muhammad. The slaughter of animals in keeping with religious principle has become a contentious point of political and scientific debate. Muslims expect good animal welfare, it is important to discuss these issues so that animal products for the Muslim community are not only halal, but also meet the full range of tayyab and animal welfare standards. Working on global initiatives to improve handling equipment at slaughter plants, to increase welfare training of staff, and to implement effective auditing programs with follow-up by management to correct issues raised by the audit should be a priority for the animal agriculture industry. The feeding of animals can be a welfare concern in many different ways. Animals can be given too much food, not enough food, or the wrong kind of food.
