{"title":"Animal welfare studies in religious and Halal slaughter studies: A literature review","authors":"Azhar Alam, Afief El Ashfahany, Siti Aisyah, Azizah Ramadayanti, M.

This study aims to systematically review and map the literature in publications on the theme of Animal Welfare in religious slaughter studies. This study used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) system in the process of screening articles that were the subject of research. From 375 halal research articles and slaughter rituals indexed by Scopus, 32 articles on animal welfare at the time of religious slaughter were selected and analyzed. The results showed the development of studies on Animal Welfare through the number of publications, authors, countries, fields of science, sources of publications, and articles cited. In this study, two classifications were found, namely, the method of slaughter using stunning and slaughter without prohibited stunning. The study with stunning examines the pain of slaughtered animals, the quality of meat produced at slaughter methods, and ethical considerations and practices of using animals in rituals. The study without stunning examines the effects that occur due to no stunning, the halal of the meat,  the treatment of animals during preslaughter without stunning, and stunning after the incision of the Neck Vessels. This study explores some of the latest research development lines from both classifications. This study is expected to be a reference by researchers with the theme of animal welfare when conducting new research on the development of topics on animal welfare during the religious slaughter process.","PeriodicalId":506389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology","volume":"139 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten recently reproductive-managed ewes were randomly segregated into two groups. The control group (CG) was under outdoor conditions with shadow access, and the experimental group (EG) was under outdoor conditions without shadow access. Traits were measured for 16 days, and the environmental traits confirmed significant differences between groups, with an average temperature-humidity index (THI) of 68.64±1.46 for the CG and 72.98±3.17 for the EG, with a breach of five units between groups. The THI was subsequently used to evaluate the heat load. Respiratory frequency was the physiological variable that responded the most to heat stress. The rectal temperature of the sheep was greater in the experimental group than in the control group, indicating an increase in heat stress. The EG also presented higher heat emissions from body regions, which was associated with changes in core body temperature and blood flow at the body surface. Differences in hematological parameters, such as the erythrocyte count, mean corpuscular volume, and total plasma protein concentration, were found between the groups. Infrared thermography was found to be efficient for estimating heat stress in sheep species, and head temperature was found to be a reliable indicator of physiological thermal stress.","PeriodicalId":506389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology","volume":"78 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139804343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
