The respect for the right to freedom of religion, which is indisputably one of the fundamental liberal rights, must be taken into account. The right to freedom to religion also includes the right to follow a religion's dietary recommendations. The aim of the literature analysis was to systematize the knowledge on the ethical aspects and quality of meat obtained from carcasses of animals subjected to conventional and ritual slaughter. Consistent with the importance of ritual slaughter for humans of two major faiths (Islam and Judaism), it is important that scientists be objective when evaluating these practices from an animal welfare and meat quality point of view. To evaluate the welfare of the slaughtered animal, it is necessary to openly discuss ritual slaughter and the improvement of its methods. The quality of meat and the degree of bleeding of animals do not always correlate with the ritual slaughter method used.  \nKeywords: conventional slaughter; ritual slaughter; meat quality; kosher; halal  \n1. Introduction  \nMeat in the human diet is a source of wholesome, easily digestible proteins, highenergy fat, vitamins-especially from the B group, as well as micronutrients necessary in metabolic processes in the human body [1] . The bioavailability of selected ingredients in meat is much higher than in food of plant origin [2,3] .  \nIn the last dozen or so years, particular attention has been paid to animal welfare, consumer health safety and environmental protection. [1] . Economic, cultural and religious conditionings of the inhabitants also are important.  \nThere are many methods of slaughter that are required for religious and cultural reasons. Two of them, commercially significant, are halal and kosher slaughter, used by Muslims and Jews, respectively. Global trade in red meat obtained from animals slaughtered using the above-mentioned methods is significant and is growing [4,5] . For this reason, technologies have been developed over the years to support the commercial production of halal and kosher red meat, and regula","cbCailrwD7rAafTa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailrwD7rAafTa","pdf",543464,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Animal welfare, consumer safety, and environmental protection\n## Halal and kosher slaughter and market drivers","[{\"question\":\"What do the paper's authors aim to analyze about slaughter methods?\",\"answer\":\"They analyze ethical aspects and meat quality obtained from carcasses of animals subjected to conventional and ritual slaughter, focusing on animal welfare and product characteristics.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is freedom of religion discussed in relation to meat and slaughter?\",\"answer\":\"The paper links religious freedom to the right to follow dietary recommendations, which includes religiously guided slaughter practices.\"},{\"question\":\"Do meat quality and bleeding degree always match the ritual slaughter method used?\",\"answer\":\"No. The paper states that meat quality and the degree of bleeding do not always correlate with the ritual slaughter method used.\"}]","Conventional versus Ritual Slaughter - Ethical Aspects and Meat Quality | PDF",1790575286,45]
