Effect of electrical stunning on the electroencephalogram in chickens
British Veterinary Journal, 1987Abstract Electrical stunning at normal current levels (approximate range 30 to 100 mA per bird) was found to cause low frequency epileptiform activity in the EEG of chickens. High stunning currents (over 100 mA per bird) inhibited the expression of epileptiform activity and this occurred irrespective of whether the heart was fibrillating.

Dosimetry considerations for electrical stun devices
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2009Electrical dosimetry issues are discussed in relation to electrical stun devices (ESDs). A measure of effectiveness is based on a 'threshold factor,' F(T), calculated with a myelinated nerve model that simulates stimulation of a reference-case neuron (20 microm diameter, 1 cm distant).

Inhalation of water during electrical stunning in chickens
Research in Veterinary Science, 1992Twenty live hens were subjected to electrical stunning using a waterbath containing a solution of technetium99 (99Tc), and 12 hen carcases were injected intratracheally with different doses of the same solution. The respiratory tract was dissected from the carcases and samples were assessed for the presence of radioactivity. Thirty-five per cent of the

Physiological Effects of Electrical Stunning and Venesection in the Fowl
Research in Veterinary Science, 1967SUMMARY Experiments were performed to investigate the physiological effects of electrical stunning and jugular venesection in the fowl. In anaesthetized birds, stunning caused bradycardia, fluctuations in blood pressure, reduction in respiratory rate and elimination of electrocortical activity.

The effectiveness of high frequency electrical stunning in pigs
Meat Science, 1992Two commercially-available high frequency electrical stunners producing either AC sinewaves (146 V; 1592 Hz) or DC squarewaves (162V; 1642 Hz) having different waveforms were tested for their effectiveness in stunning pigs and compared with conventional 50 Hz sinusoidal waveforms.

Effect of electrical stunning on meat quality of lamb
Meat Science, 2000The effects of stunning on both initial and up to 2 weeks post mortem storage meat quality of Spanish Manchega breed lamb were studied. Twenty-four lambs were distributed into two groups. The first group (US; n =12) were slaughtered without previous stunning. In the second group (ES; n =12) animals were electrically stunned.

Electrical stunning of cattle.
The Veterinary record, 2001Cattle are normally stunned electrically by three sequential cycles, first a three-second head-only cycle, to stun the animal, secondly a 15-second cardiac cycle, to induce ventricular fibrillation (cardiac arrest), and thirdly a four-second discharge cycle, to reduce convulsions after death. An effective and immediate stun was produced when > or =1.15

Electric stunning of trout: power reduction using a two-stage stun
Aquacultural Engineering, 2005Electrical stunning in water using a high frequency (1000 Hz) power source is a humane and practical method for killing trout, which results in damage free carcasses. However, the electrical power requirement can be high, particularly with high conductivity water.

Stunning suppers with an electric attack
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2016![Graphic][1] In the murky waters of the Amazon River, electric eels ( Electrophorus electricus ) bombard their prey with quick-fire bursts of electricity. Just like a TASER, a rapid volley of electrical impulses causes repeated muscle contractions and immobilizes prey.

[The electric stunning of pigs for slaughter].
DTW. Deutsche tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 1989Electrical stunning is the most common stunning method in the FRG. Beside manual stunning with tongs (70-250 V) there are also automatic high-voltage stunning devices (400-1000 V) in use. In the FRG the maximally allowed stunning voltage is 250 V for manual working apparatus. Electrical stunning is acceptable from the animal point of view, if a minimal
