AB Sichtreduzierung als Mittel zur Stressreduzierung beim Schlachten. Although sight-restriction by means of blindfolding may not become an industry practice in the near future, these studies indicate that pre-slaughter handling of chickens results in a considerable amount of stress on the birds which may be alleviated. If the birds are allowed a period of rest or acclimatization to their new environment with restricted vision, it may help to reduce the stress they experience. Perhaps all pre-slaughter handling could be done in darkness or under blacklight conditions. Nevertheless it should be pointed out that much more research needs to be done, particularly with other food animals, before this technique of reducing pre-slaughter stress can be formally accepted. Based upon the results of these pilot studies we are moving forward in this area of research with both cattle and poultry
