Graduate Student Research Poster Competition

Thirty selected sides (from 30 whole carcasses) received high voltage (500 V, 60 Hz, 90s: HV) electrical stimulation (ES) within 45 min postmortem and the opposite sides served as controls (NES). Twelve unsplit whole carcasses received low voltage (50 V, 60 Hz, 15s: LV) ES within 3 min after stunning. Following stimulation, each side received one of three temperature conditioning treatments: (A...
