1 Rotary Animal Restrainers are devices that are used to immobilise the animals and control them during the slaughtering process. They are also known as Slaughter Boxes/ Killing Boxes as the heads are separated from the body of the animals in this device. It is a hygienic method of slaughtering the animals as there is a passage where the blood can be passed off. The use of a slaughter box/ rotary animal restrainer is important in ensuring compliance with animal welfare requirements, as its use, reduces stress experienced by the animal to very minimal levels. It also ensures the animal slaughtered cannot see other animals slaughtered or dressed.
2 In order to address the above, it was felt necessary to develop a standard for slaughter boxes so that effective slaughtering can take place. India has much potential to export the meat to other countries by ensuring the correct slaughter procedures which yield quality meat. The standardization of slaughter boxes will help to put hygiene slaughtering process in place.
3 This standard specifies requirements in respect of material, design and dimensions and other requirements of rotary animal restrainer.
