Rational choice models have been an accepted part of the academic study of politics since the 1950s, but their popularity has grown signiacantly in recent years.1 Elite academic departments are now expected to incl...
متن کاملMultistage carbon dioxide gas stunning of broilers.
The stunning quality of animals for slaughter remains under constant scrutiny. In response to previous research showing low stunning efficiency in poultry, the conventional water bath will be phased out in the Netherlands. Presently, the main practical alternative to water bath stunning of poultry is a 2-phased gas stunning method. Gas stunning methods are recognized by governments and animal w...
متن کاملComparison of a Modified Atmosphere Stunning-Killing System to conventional electrical stunning and killing on selected broiler breast muscle rigor development and meat quality attributes.
Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of a 70:30 argon:carbon dioxide Modified Atmosphere Stun-Kill (MASK) system to both a low voltage (LV) and a high current (HC) electrical stunning and conventional killing system on broiler breast rigor development and meat quality. In Experiment 1, the effects on breast muscle pH and meat tenderness of the MASK system and the LV system were...
متن کاملAversion to nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixtures for stunning pigs
Inhalation of concentrations greater than 30% of carbon dioxide (CO2) by volume in atmospheric air causes aversion in pigs. The objective of this study was to assess, using aversion learning techniques and behavioural studies, the aversion to three alternative gas mixtures of nitrogen (N2) and CO2: 70% N2 and 30% CO2 (70N30C), 80% N2 and 20% CO2 (80N20C) and 85% N2 and 15% CO2 (85N15C). The exp...
متن کاملEditorial: Scientific Rigor or Rigor Mortis?
