Slaughtering System Design in Halal Beef Supply Chain Using Value Chain Analysis

Abstract

People prioritize the taste of food more than the Halal status, while Islamic law requires Muslims to consume Halal food. Halal Supply Chain management system is the system that involves Islamic principles in all activities from farm to fork. These three factors must be a concern: direct contact with haram (forbidden), cross-contamination, and Muslim perception. In the slaughterhouse, all the processes in slaughtering and handling the carcass must be able to guarantee the Halal status of the product. This research was done in four slaughterhouses. The observation was made in cattle feedlot, from all activities at the slaughterhouses to the product sent to retailers. The value chain of the slaughter system in the beef supply chain can be a guide for preparing business process in slaughterhouses as a provider of beef in the Halal Supply Chain.
