Head-Only Stunning of Turkeys Part 1: The Minimum Voltage Necessary to Break Down the Inherent High Resistance

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Pre-slaughter stunning is required for the humane slaughter of turkeys. For the head-only electrical stunning to be effective, the impedance (resistance) in the tissue of the head of the animal between the two electrodes must be overcome by the level of the voltage used. We have asse...
