Stunning and slaughter of livestock

Food Standards Agency did not have the information requested.

Dear Food Standards Agency,

I understand, further to a response from Defra dated 30 October 2014 to a separate FOI request, that you hold the following information:

1. The percentage prevalence of each combination of stunning and slaughter methods for the following species:

a) cattle;

b) chickens - i) broilers; ii) boiling fowl;

c) sheep;

d) pigs; and

e) turkeys

E.g. 1(b)(i) Chickens (broilers) - water bath stunning followed by exsanguination - 85%; captive bolt stunning followed by gassing - 2%.

I look forward to receiving your response.

Yours faithfully,

Ms Annand
