Overview
Reception and lairage, ante-mortem inspection, restraint, Islamic slaughter (dhabh), bleeding, dressing, post-mortem inspection, chilling and dispatch: this kit documents the whole cattle and large-ruminant operation as a sector-specific Halal Assurance System. The scheme is the HAS framework of the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO), the standardization body of the Gulf Cooperation Council states, which calls for documented internal discipline able to hold Halal integrity in place between inspections rather than at the moment of one, applied alongside the GSO 2055 series of product and certification standards.
Slaughter is carried out by a competent, trained Muslim slaughterman using a sharp implement with the prescribed invocation. Where stunning is permitted it must be non-lethal and verifiably reversible, so it is treated as a controlled parameter under GSO 993, backed by restraint and stunning records and dedicated cattle guidance. Complete bleeding is confirmed before dressing proceeds, and carrion or improperly slaughtered animals are excluded. After dressing the risk becomes one of identity: carcass identification, Halal marking and physical segregation through chillers, deboning and dispatch keep Halal and non-Halal production apart. An internal Halal committee holds the procedures, approves farms, feed and input materials, audits, trains the line and manages corrective actions.
What this system covers
- Cattle reception, lairage, driving and ante-mortem inspection
- Restraint and non-lethal stunning to GSO 993, with parameter setting and reversibility verification
- Islamic slaughter and bleeding, covering slaughterman competence and rostering, the invocation, implement sharpness and confirmed bleed-out
- Skinning, head checks, evisceration, splitting and post-mortem inspection
- Carcass identity and segregation through chilling, cutting, packing and the Halal mark
- Cleaning, sanitation and ritual cleansing of lines, tools and equipment
- Cold chain, storage, vehicle inspection, dispatch and transport
- Traceability, non-conforming product, recall and internal Halal audit
Who it's for
Abattoir quality managers and Halal supervisors at cattle and large-ruminant slaughterhouses selling into the Gulf, most often when an approved certification body assessment is scheduled or an importer makes Halal certification a condition of supply. Once the manual, line procedures and per-animal records are adapted to the plant, the operation generates its own evidence each shift.
