Abstract
A pig slaughterhouse with larger throughput mostly uses the line-slaughter system.
“Line slaughter” includes hoisting the carcass on the rails at bleeding and subsequent
slaughtering and dressing procedures are carried out with the carcass suspended on and
moving along the overhead rail (or line). This method is in contrast to the booth-slaughter
system common in the past and low throughput slaughter houses. In the booth system,
slaughter spaces are divided into many spots ("booths"), which allow for the simultaneous
slaughtering of a certain number of animals ("batch"). A team of men attends each
slaughtering spot.
