Effective stunning and slaughter for poultry training workshops

Animal welfare is a high priority for the Australian poultry industry and maintaining skills and knowledge in this area with key staff is important. The purpose of these training workshops is to improve the understanding of commercial poultry stunning and slaughter systems, as they impact on welfare outcomes and product quality in commercial processing plants. Each workshop covers current regulatory requirements, stunning and slaughter parameters and the impact on welfare and quality, identifying and mitigating risks, techniques for improving animal welfare outcomes and product quality, and current research into stunning and slaughter practices and the implications for industry.  The training is accredited under the national competency standards and was adapted for online delivery.
