Home slaughtering is slaughtering carried out privately, outside commercial slaughterhouses, the aim of which is to obtain meat for human consumption in one's own household. Even in the case of home slaughtering, it is essential to carry out an official ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection of the animals to be slaughtered in order to avoid any risk to humans and animals. This applies to cloven-hoofed animals, cattle, pigs, goats, sheep; solipeds such as horses, rabbits and farmed game, provided their meat is intended for human consumption.
