Animals are slaughtered individually by hand without any stunning effect and the Tasmia and Takbir are done audibly at the time of slaughtering. Only sheep, goats, cows and bulls are slaughtered at this facility. When animals are brought into the facilities they are kept there for some days before they are slaughtered.
