Rambam Hilchos Shechita 14:2
וְנוֹהֵג בְּחֻלִּין וְלֹא בְּמֻקְדָּשִׁין. בֵּין קָדְשֵׁי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ בֵּין קָדְשֵׁי בֶּדֶק הַבַּיִת. וְאִם עָבַר וּשְׁחָטָן אֵינוֹ חַיָּב לְכַסּוֹת אֶת דָּמָן

See Kiddushin 57A. It’s assur in hannah like hekdesh and is therefore patur from kissui like hekdesh. See Rambam 14:10 that says any slaughter that doesn’t allow for eating, doesn’t need kissui– ChatzkelAug 1 at 14:29
