What US 9 CFR Part 313: Humane Slaughter of Livestock requires

US 9 CFR Part 313 implements the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act (HMSA) of 1958 (as amended 1978) requiring that livestock at federally inspected slaughter establishments be rendered insensible to pain by approved methods before being shackled hoisted thrown cast or cut. Approved methods include captive bolt stunning, electrical stunning, chemical (CO2) stunning, and ritual slaughter conducted in compliance with religious requirements. FSIS Public Health Veterinarians (PHVs) and Consumer Safety Inspectors conduct ongoing inspection of stunning effectiveness, animal handling, and pen design. Egregious humane handling violations trigger Notice of Suspension or other regulatory action including monetary penalties.
