dc.description.abstract | Rabbits of different ages may have to be killed on-farm for purposes other than slaughter (where
slaughter is defined as killing for human consumption) either individually or on a large scale (e.g. for
production reasons or for disease control). The purpose of this opinion was to assess the risks associated
to the on-farm killing of rabbits. The processes during on-farm killing that were assessed included
handling, stunning and/or killing methods (including restraint). The latter were grouped into four
categories: electrical methods, mechanical methods, controlled atmosphere method and lethal injection.
In total, 14 hazards were identified and characterised, most of these related to stunning and/or killing.
The staff was identified as the origin for all hazards, either due to lack of the appropriate skill sets needed
to perform tasks or due to fatigue. Possible corrective and preventive measures were assessed:
measures to correct hazards were identified for five hazards and the staff was shown to have a crucial
role in prevention. Five welfare consequences of the welfare hazards to which rabbits can be exposed to
during on-farm killing were identified: not being dead, consciousness, pain, fear and distress. Welfare
consequences and relevant animal-based measures were described. Outcome tables linking hazards,
welfare consequences, animal-based measures, origins, preventive and corrective measures were
developed for each process. Mitigation measures to minimise welfare consequences are proposed. | ca |
