Meat production/slaughter: permission
Service Description
The slaughter of farm animals kept as pets generally requires a permit. Exceptions exist only for domestic slaughtering.
Persons who slaughter animals must have the necessary knowledge and skills.
Who should I contact?
Contact the veterinary and food control office of your county or city.
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
Commercial slaughtering that takes place regularly and is known to the authority does not require a separate notification.
Unscheduled commercial slaughtering and domestic slaughtering for exclusively personal, private domestic use must be notified to the competent authority in good time (it should be at least 2 working days) before the planned slaughtering.
Emergency slaughterings are to be considered separately, in any case the competent authority is to be involved immediately.
Legal basis
- Food and Feed Code (LFGB)
- Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on food hygiene
- Regulation (EC) No. 853/2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin.
- Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption.
- Animal Food Hygiene Ordinance (Tier-LMHV)

- Ordinance on the protection of animals in connection with slaughter or killing and on the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1099/2009 - Animal Welfare Slaughter Ordinance (TierSchlV)
What else should I know?
Commercial slaughtering (since 1.1.2010) may only be carried out in officially approved establishments. Establishments that do not yet have approval can obtain it on application.
