Practical tips on sub-mobile cattle slaughter in Lahn-Dill-casting

In the Lahn-Dill casting eco-model region, a new approach to animal-friendly slaughter of cattle was developed. The handout "Entry into the partially mobile slaughter of cattle" offers farmers and animal owners practical help to carry out the slaughter of the animals in a familiar environment. This is an important step, both for the well -being of the animals and for the quality of the meat generated.

The advantages of court slaughter

"There are good reasons for animal owners to want to slaughter their animals on the farm. The slaughter not only saves fear and exertion in the usual environment on its last way to the slaughterhouse, but also leads to better meat quality," explains Margot Schäfer, the head of the department for rural areas. The stress that a transport to the slaughterhouse brings with it can negatively influence the quality of the meat. The stress -free environment plays a crucial role here.

support from the region

To support this approach, the district of Gießen has promoted the purchase of a so -called "mobile slaughter device". Christian Zuckermann, who headed for rural areas, reports: "The district contributed 20,000 euros to the establishment. In cooperation with the Naturlandhof Hornischer in Reiskirchen, the mobile unit is provided so that other farmers have the opportunity to slaughter their animals directly on site."

access to important information

The creation of the handout is a partiere result of previous experience in the region. The written -light checklist and practical tips are aimed at farmers who want to deal with sub -mobile slaughter. This information is available in both printed form and digitally. In order to receive access, interested parties can contact the rural area or download the content via the official website of the Lahn-Dill district.

a future trend in agriculture

The implementation of the mobile slaughter methods could soon also be extended to other animal species. From May 2024, the regulations for court slaughter will also apply to goats and sheep. This shows that a change in the agricultural economy is possible, which puts both animal welfare and marketing regional products in the foreground.

a strong network for regional agriculture

The eco-model regions in Hesse promote a close connection between agricultural companies, trade and consumers. With the aim of “more organic. More organism. More Hessen”, a sustainable approach is promoted that supports the marketing of regional food and at the same time strengthens ecological agriculture.

Overall, the new approaches and cooperation in the region signal one step towards a more responsible and sustainable agriculture that takes into account the needs of animals, farmers and consumers.
