SUMMARY

1. During Shechitah, one Siman of a bird must be cut, and two Simanim of an animal must be cut.
 
2. If one cuts the majority of one Siman of a bird, or the majority of two Simanim of an animal, the Shechitah is valid.
 
3. The Shochet does not need to cut the neck bone of the animal during Shechitah.
 
4. Even the head of an Olah must be placed on the Mizbe'ach.
 
5. The head of an Olah and its fat are placed on the Mizbe'ach first.
 
6. A Neveilah of an animal is Metamei with Maga and Masa. A Neveilah of a bird is not Metamei with Maga and Masa, but it is Metamei one's clothing when it is swallowed.
 
7. Fish do not require Shechitah.
 
8. If the Shechitah of a Chayah was invalidated and it became a Neveilah, or if one deliberately pierced or ripped the Simanim, he is exempt from covering its blood.
