Head-to-cloaca electrical stunning of broilers.
This study was performed to identify the electrical current and exposure duration that would instantaneously render broiler chickens unconscious at slaughter when using a head-to-cloaca water bath stunner. The water in which the head was immersed was one electrode, and a steel-coned or cutaneous U-shaped electrode penetrating the cloaca was the other electrode. When an electrode penetrating the...
متن کاملHead-only followed by cardiac arrest electrical stunning is an effective alternative to head-only electrical stunning in pigs.
Many small slaughter facilities use head-only electrical stunning to render swine unconscious and insensible to pain before slaughter. Head-only electrical stunning is a reversible procedure that is optimally effective for approximately 15 s after stun completion. In many small North American slaughter plants, the authors have observed hoist speeds that are too slow to achieve a short enough st...
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 کاملEffect of different electrical stunning conditions on meat quality in broilers
Electrical water bath stunning is still the dominant method in slaughtering of broilers. Usually, AC stunning is applied with a minimum current of 120 mA per bird according to the actual EU regulations for stunning of chicken. To investigate the impact of electrical stunning conditions on effectiveness of stunning more deeply in a first step various combinations of voltage, voltage frequency an...
متن کاملElectroencephalograms and physical reflexes of broilers after electrical waterbath stunning using an alternating current.
Stunning efficiency of broilers after electrical waterbath stunning with an alternating current was assessed using electroencephalograms (EEG) and physical reflexes. Four hundred eighty-nine broilers (246 males and 243 females) were stunned in an electrical waterbath with a rectangular alternating stunning current of 60, 80, 100, 120, and 150 mA and frequencies of 70, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,...
