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 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 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,...
متن کاملEffects of waterbath stunning on the electroencephalograms and physical reflexes of broilers using a pulsed direct current.
Stunning efficiency of a pulsed direct current was assessed regarding the effect on the electroencephalogram (EEG) and physical reflexes. Four hundred sixty-seven broilers (males and females) were stunned in an electrified waterbath with 60, 80, 100, 120, and 150 mA at frequencies of 70, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,500 Hz. Stunning time was 10 s. The EEG recordings lasted for 120 s poststun and s...
متن کاملEffect of electrical stunning current and frequency on meat quality, plasma parameters, and glycolytic potential in broilers.
This study was designed to determine the effect of electrical stunning variables (low currents and high frequencies) on meat quality, glycolytic potential, and blood parameters in broilers. A total of 54 broilers were stunned with 9 electrical stunning methods for 18 s using sinusoidal alternating currents combining 3 current levels (35 V, 47 mA; 50 V, 67 mA; and 65 V, 86 mA) with 3 frequencies...
