Dhabihah is the recommended method by Islamic law of slaughtering any kind of animal excluding camels, locusts, fish, and most sea-life. The process consists of a swift, deep incision with a sharp knife across the neck, cutting the jugular veins and carotid arteries completely but leaving the spinal cord intact. Furthermore it causes all the blood from the animal to gush out leaving negligible amounts of blood remaining in the body, the principle being that blood is a good medium for germs. It is also forbidden to stun an animal before slaughter. It should be in conscious state. Keep in mind this is a ritual form of slaughtering, so the Islamic law recommends this as the most traditional way to slaughter an animal.
There isn’t any specific way of slaughter of these animals. There are huge factories that are run on machines periodically cutting the animal’s throat. In most cases an animal is stunned in electric water to avoid movement and force during the slaughter.
