“…In particular, Miele (2013) questioned about the methods of religiously acceptable killing by Jewish communities; indeed, the author concentrated on the religious animal slaughter issue that raised as safer in contrast with the introduction of the electrical stunning prior to cutting throat as general practice. The theme has been widely deepened by various authors (among others, Fletcher, 1993; Grandin, 2003; McKeegan et al , 2007; Mulley et al , 2010; Man and Sazili, 2010; Farouk, 2013) and is still under discussion.…”

Purpose Increased awareness about the importance of a safe, healthy nutrition has changed human interactions with food and increased worldwide demand for high quality and ethical food. In this respect, the purpose of this paper is to highlight the concept of ethical food and the nature of kosher food production, assessing common traits and the main differences between the two. A literature review was undertaken in order to verify the direction in which further studies might proceed. Design/methodology/approach A research review on current literature was carried out exploring concepts of ethical food and food certification underpinning kosher businesses by means of an analysis of both producers’ and consumers’ perspectives. In order to proceed with an accurate analysis, the paper matches both the conceptual analysis and the bibliometric one. The overlap between these two forms of analysis makes results robust and useful for future research. Findings This review reveals common points between ethical and kosher food because attention is given to both processes and products and the way the market perceives them as expressions of trustworthy and safe production. Furthermore, the analysis reveals an under emphasis on kosher food in the academic world and the results reveal the importance of empirical analysis. Research limitations/implications The analysis is focused mainly on kosher food production as an expression of ethical food. It would be interesting, however, to expand the analysis to other types of ethical certification such as Halal food, for example, in order to perform comparative evaluations. Practical implications From a practical point of view, it is interesting to note that kosher food is conceived as very safe food and that non-religious people are sensitive to this, which opens new horizons for ethical food. It also offers the possibility that firms that have never considered entering the field of ethical food certification may do so to expand their businesses. This implication also reveals that there is a higher attention on sustainability and safety in agro-food market. Therefore there are great opportunities of expansion for ethical food. Social implications From a social point of view, this paper is of importance for several reasons. It deals with a relatively new and relatively unexplored issue; it points out the relevance of sustainability and safety in food market and consumer behavior, it presents the possibility of exploring knowledge interactions between different perspectives (multidisciplinary approach) and cultures which, in the opinion, will present significant challenge in relation to agro-food business research in the future. Originality/value The originality of this work is that of systematizing a literature review of ethical food, enlarging its scope and boundaries with specific reference to kosher food. It also highlights the need to focus on both management and marketing, since up to now there has been a lack of academic contributions to these areas of research. Directi...

“…Finally, we estimated the potential effect of forage depletion by fallow deer at varying population densities on livestock carrying capacity, assuming a linear relationship between deer density and pasture depletion (Fleming et al 2002;Latham et al 2020). We used the following baseline DSEs for our four fallow deer age and sex classes: 1.1 for juveniles, 1.3 for yearling males, and 2.0 for both adult females and adult males (Mulley and Flesch 2000;Mulley and Flesch 2001;Mulley 2007). Adult male fallow deer (~85 kg) are almost twice the mass of adult females, and the equivalent DSEs arise because of the high energtic demands of adult females when lactating (Mulley 2007).…”

“…Using the DSE estimate of Mulley and Flesch (2001), adjusted for a 50-kg wether, the population of 37 ± 15 fallow deer per km 2 in April 2018 (1 month before helicopter-based shooting started) was equivalent to 60.3 merino wethers per km 2 [95% credible interval (CrI): 24.9, 111.0]. After adjusting for the percentage of pasture plants in the diet, the population was equivalent to 45.7 (95% CrI: 18.9, 84.0) 50-kg merino wethers per km 2 .…”

Diet and impacts of non-native fallow deer (Dama dama) on pastoral properties during severe drought

Context There is concern about potential competition between non-native fallow deer (Dama dama) and livestock for food, particularly during times of low rainfall when pasture is scarce.Aim We aimed to estimate the extent to which a high-density fallow deer population (~37 deer per km2) competed with livestock for food during a severe drought on pastoral properties on the Liverpool Plains, New South Wales, Australia.Methods We collected rumen contents from 125 fallow deer shot from helicopters during control operations in June and August 2018, and used microhistology to quantify their diets. We then used the diet data to adjust published estimates of stock unit equivalence from farmed fallow deer. Fallow deer sex and age class abundances and stock unit equivalences were multiplied to estimate the grazing pressure of the fallow deer population pre- and post-control relative to recommended sheep and cattle stocking rates. Finally, we estimated density–impact relationships for fallow deer.Key results Fallow deer diet was dominated by monocots (primarily grasses), but some individuals consumed large amounts of dicots (commonly Eucalyptus). Fallow deer were grazers to intermediate mixed feeders. Fallow deer dry-sheep equivalents (DSEs, based on a 50-kg merino wether) varied from 1.01 (juveniles) to 1.85 (adult females and adult males). Assuming complete diet overlap, the pre-control fallow deer population was equivalent to approximately 60.3 DSEs per km2 and reduced the potential stocking rate of domestic livestock by 50.2%. Discounting the fallow deer DSEs by the amount of browse in the diet resulted in a pre-control population of 45.7 DSEs per km2. The helicopter-based shooting reduced the fallow deer population by 26%, increasing the stocking rate in natural pasture by 22.0% (complete overlap) or 13.8% (discounting for browse).Conclusions When food is limiting, fallow deer at high density can exert strong competitive pressure on livestock, reducing carrying capacity. Browsing, including on Eucalyptus, likely helped fallow deer to persist at high densities during the severe drought of 2018, when properties had destocked.Implications Helicopter-based shooting reduced the competitive effects of fallow deer on livestock in our study area to only a small extent, but more intensive shooting would have led to a greater reduction. The helicopter-based shooting of deer was received positively by landholders at a time of severe stress, suggesting that deer control in agricultural areas can have other important benefits.

“…Despite the animal welfare and potential meat quality advantages associated with thoracic sticking (by promoting death and preventing the recovery of stunned animals during bleeding-out) (Anil et al 1995;Mulley, Felapau et al 2010), it appears that the majority of HCBs and Islamic jurists do not consider it a Halal compliant method of slaughter, when used as the main method of slaughter (HFA 2014;MUI HAS 23103 2012), except for camels as noted above. This may be partly to due to the fact that the method was not practiced at the time of the Prophet for all species of animals.…”

The continuous expansion of the global halal meat market has attracted interest from governments, food business operators and the animal and meat science research fraternity. Despite this growing trend, and the enormous economic benefits associated with it, there is a lack of clarity regarding what is ‘authentic’ halal. Many Islamic jurists are reluctant to approve animal slaughter methods that were not practiced at the time of the Prophet of Islam, Mohammed. Others insist that since Islam holds animal welfare in high regard, any modern method of slaughter that is shown to improve animal welfare without compromising on the basic requirements of halal slaughter can be approved for halal production. This paper highlights the aspects of modern slaughter that continues to divide scholarly opinion among Islamic jurists. It also examines the arguments put forward by opponents and proponents regarding the acceptability of modern slaughter techniques for halal slaughter.
