title: [Mobile slaughter facilities].
abstract: Mobile slaughter is commonly discussed as alternative method to slaughter avoiding transportation stress in slaughter animals. In 1994 mobile slaughter became part of the coalition-contract between the two major parties, SPD and GRUNE, in the Department HESSEN. In the article the actual principles, problems to cope with EU-legislation and hygiene-standards, chances and risks of mobile slaughter are discussed. Assuming that some of the major problems concerning hygiene, workers security and waste-deposit can be solved, mobile slaughter seems to bring an improvement in animal welfare and advantages in related meet quality. The slightly higher costs may be acceptable in welfare-interested, high-quality market sections.
