Shechitah (I fixed the spelling in my first post) is slaughtering of animals in accordance with Jewish law. The jugular vein is slit as well as another vein which cutting off blood flow to the brain rendering the animal unconscious almost instantly and death follows.

That's what I figured but I wasn't quite sure. So Shechitah is the procedure for kosher meat? I wish we had a kosher deli in my town.

Pretty much. I clump the salting that has to be done afterwards under shechitah.

Just a small correction there...
Shechitah has nothing to do with slitting the jugular vein, it is the trachea and esophagus which must be slit.

Thank you for pointing that out.

About two years ago @Akrnaf2 posted a video of a Rabbi doing this properly. I think the post was on Sally Sunshine's incubation thread
