E-Learning: Stunning & Killing
Consumers and animals care about animal welfare. Errors during stunning and killing may cause serious suffering to the animals and harm the meat industry’s reputation. Does your company have sufficient knowledge to ensure animal welfare?
Good animal welfare pays off!
Recent studies reveal that consumers are concerned about animal welfare at the time of slaughter, and stunning is an area of special concern.
New regulation
The EU has adopted a new regulation on the protection of animals at the time of killing. After the first of January 2013, all workers handling live animals will need a certificate of competence.
E-learning
Animalia offers easy access to essential knowledge, through our e-learning course on stunning and killing. You may purchase one, two or three of the e-learning courses and obtain certificates for captive bolt stunning, electrical stunning and gas stunning. The courses will be adapted to quality for approval by the competent authorities.
Each course is divided into six chapters and covers:
1. Licence to kill?
2. Stress during handling and restraint
3. Stunning equipment
4. Animal reactions
5. Sticking and bleed out
6. Maintenance
Easy to learn
The course mediates knowledge in a more active way compared to traditional teaching methods. Videocuts, pictures, animations and small “games” and simple knowledge tests, make the learning process easier and more fun.
You may work your way through the course at your own pace and are able to use almost any computer with internet access, which makes it more convenient to find both time and place to complete the course. Each course has a multiple choice test at the end.
The Stunning and Killing E-learning course is developed by Animalia with support from NHO Food and Bio.
