This article examines the unique operational demands of sheep and goat slaughter lines facing seasonal demand surges — particularly during Eid al-Adha, when throughput can spike 3–5x above normal. It covers four-mode capacity planning (standard, elevated, peak, surge), small-carcass ergonomic design considerations for 20–60 kg animals, pelt processing and preservation techniques that recover significant by-product value (with the global sheep leather market valued at $21+ billion), and infrastructure for pelt collection integration. Five industry trends (ASEAN halal expansion, pelt-as-revenue recognition, smallholder aggregation, hot-climate energy efficiency, halal audit digitization) and five common design errors are analyzed, along with supplier selection criteria for seasonally-scalable equipment.
