HOUSING

REQUIREMENTS FOR
HALAL PRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION
Halal production encompasses not only the slaughter process
but also the entire life cycle of an animal, including its living
conditions. These conditions play a crucial role in ensuring the
well-being of the animal, which is a highest concern in halal
principles. So establishments that produce halal meat and other
goods generated from animals have to comply to certain
housing requirements.

Poultry:

Housing: Go for cages that have lots of natural

light and good ventilation. For the building, think
about utilizing bamboo or repurposed wood, which
will ensure adequate ventilation and insulation.
Skylights are another option if you want more natural
light.

20XX presentation title

Flooring: Use a combination of
durable, easy-to-clean concrete
floors with sections covered in
wood chips or straw for
scratching and dust bathing.
Provide perches made from
natural branches or bamboo for
roosting and exercise.

Enrichment: Hang toys like
wind chimes or pecking
blocks to stimulate natural
foraging behavior and reduce
boredom. Offer dust baths
filled with sand or ash for
feather maintenance.

Cattle:

Housing: Build spacious shelters

with open areas for grazing and
closed areas for resting and
shade. Use natural materials like
wood or bamboo for the frame,
with thatched roofs for insulation
and natural ventilation.

20XX presentation title

Flooring: Go for a
combination of concrete in
high-traffic areas for easy
cleaning and soft bedding
like straw in resting areas for
comfort. Consider providing
access to grazing pastures
with a variety of grasses and
other vegetation.

20XX presentation title

Enrichment: Create mud
wallows for cooling and
socializing. Offer mineral
licks to supplement their diet
and provide climbing
structures like hills or mounds
for exercise and stimulation.

Housing: Similar to cattle, spacious
shelters with open and closed areas
are ideal. Use sturdy materials like
stone or brick for the foundation and
walls, with a sloping roof for proper
drainage. Consider incorporating hay
feeders and automatic waterers for
ease of access.

20XX presentation title
Flooring: Provide a mix of
concrete floors in high-traffic
areas and sloped gravel or
compacted earth in resting
areas. Rough terrain with
rocks and logs can mimic
their natural habitat and
encourage climbing.

20XX presentation title
Enrichment: Offer climbing
structures like rocks or wooden
platforms. Create browse lines
with branches and shrubs for
foraging and browsing behavior.
Hang salt licks and mineral
blocks for dietary needs.
