In his Eid-al-Adha message, the President of the Confederation of Turkish Tradesmen and Craftsmen (TESK), Bendevi Palandöken, stated that approximately 2.5 million sheep and goats and around 800-900 thousand cattle are expected to be slaughtered.
Pointing out that the skins of the animals slaughtered during the Eid al-Adha meet approximately 20 percent of the raw skin needed by the country, Palandöken said, "Therefore, so that the skin is not wasted and the animal is not wasted, our citizens should use quality knives if they are going to slaughter their qurban themselves, and trust our skilled butcher shopkeepers if they are not going to cut it themselves."
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR MANY WAYS THAT MEAT IS NOT WASTED
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting meat and skin, both religiously and economically, Palandöken said, "It is possible to find knives at every price in the market. When buying knives, poor quality knives should not be bought because they are more affordable. The preferred butcher is as important as the knife used in order to fulfill the duty of sacrificing in the most correct way. In order to use meat more efficiently in sacrifice, our butcher shopkeepers who know the right cutting techniques should be preferred. Because cutting the meat correctly makes the meat more delicious, while increasing the storage and freshness time of the meat. It also prevents waste."
Palandöken also warned that in order for the sacrificial leather to be of good quality and workable, it should be cleaned and salted quickly after slaughter, and that the quality of the leather cut and stored with the right methods has increased, that many products such as shoes, bags, jackets, wallets, belts made with these leathers are exported, and that foreign currency exchange is exported to the country. stated that the input was provided.
