STUNNING | Electrical Stunning
, 2014 Electrical stunning is used all over the world to render animals, including poultry, unconscious before slaughter that lasts until exsanguination results in death. The basic physiological principle of electrical stunning is to administer sufficient electric current through the head of an animal so that a generalized epileptiform activity is induced in ...

CO2 stunning may compromise swine welfare compared with electrical stunning
Meat Science, 2009The effects of two different stunning methods on critical blood values in fattening pigs at a federal inspection slaughtering plant were monitored. A total of 658 pigs from the same genetic line and origin, were randomly assigned to 3 treatments: reference baseline levels (resting pigs; T1), stunning with CO(2) (T2) and stunned electrically (T3 ...

Electrical stunning and stillness of lambs
Meat Science, 1984The stillness obtained with head-to-back stunning results from the current depolarizing spinal neurones. The same effect can be achieved by sequentially applying a head stun, followed by a current through the heart to stop it and a current down the spinal cord to abolish movement.

Electrical stunning of veal calves
Meat Science, 1982A total of sixty-two calves with body weights of 200 kg and with preimplanted ECoG electrodes on the dura mater, were electrically stunned using various currents, voltages and stunning equipment. To stun 90% of the calves effectively, a current strength of 0ยท87 A is estimated to be necessary when using scissor model tongs.

Meat Science, 1982
In seventy Texel breed sheep with a live weight of about 43 kg electrocorticogram (ECoG) electrodes were implanted in the dura mater. The day after the operation the sheep were electrically stunned with scissor model tongs on the head. Various currents and voltages were used.

Electrical stunning of chickens
Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1990This review considers various aspects of electrical stunning of poultry, mainly broilers, with particular reference to electric water bath stunners. Since the welfare of the birds prior to slaughter is of prime importance, areas where this may be compromised are discussed.

Electrical parameters of projectile stun guns
2009 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2009Projectile stun guns have been developed as less-lethal devices that law enforcement officers can use to control potentially violent subjects, as an alternative to using firearms. These devices apply high voltage, low amperage, pulsatile electric shocks to the subject, which causes involuntary skeletal muscle contraction and renders the subject unable ...
