Abstract: System and method for controlled atmosphere stunning of chickens or turkeys in a batch mode is provided. The disclosed method includes the steps of: loading one or more batches of chickens or turkeys in a stunning chamber and sealably enclosing the stunning chamber to isolate the atmosphere therein. Carbon dioxide is then introduced to the isolated atmosphere in a series of three, four, five or more phases to humanely stun and eventually kill the poultry. The carbon dioxide containing atmosphere is subsequently forcibly exhausted from the stunning chamber and the ranks of cages or modules containing the stunned poultry are advanced to a subsequent processing station such as a tipper or dumping station.

Abstract: The invention is a current controller for use in, for example, automatic animal stunning equipment. A problem in the past has been that animal stunning equipment has not always stunned animals sufficiently humanely prior to slaughter. For example, when a short circuit has occurred and an animal is not sufficiently stunned, the animal has suffered trauma prior to slaughter. Regulations are now being introduced so as to minimise such trauma. The invention solves this problem by providing an improved Wilson mirror constant current generator (21, 22) which can operate in high voltage circuits, with good dynamic response, thereby ensuring the preferred current is always applied to correctly stun an animal.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for stunning poultry has a conveyor (24) moving along a predetermined path for suspending the poultry and a compartmentalized basin (32) defining individual compartments (33) for a conducting liquid. The basin (32) is positioned below a portion of the conveyor. A circuit impresses a voltage across the conveyor (24) and each of the individual compartments (33). The voltages are a function of the position of each of the compartments (33) relative to the conveyor (24). The voltages are variable so as to produce a current regulated signal flowing between the conveyor (24) and each of the individual compartments (33) when the poultry is in contact with the conducting liquid in any of the individual compartments (33).

Abstract: A poultry stunning apparatus and method, the apparatus including an electrical control module configured to apply a DC current to the poultry at a voltage sufficient to stun the poultry and to apply AC current to the stunned poultry at a voltage and for a period of time sufficient to immobilize and relax the muscles of the stunned poultry, while at the same time avoiding or minimizing damage to the poultry tissue. In the method, DC voltage/current is applied for initial stunning, followed by an AC voltage/current to immobilize poultry and to further relax the muscles of the stunned poultry, such that the poultry does not exhibit involuntary motions, while at the same time avoiding or minimizing damage to the poultry tissue.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a method for humanely slaughtering animals, and more particularly to a method for slaughtering animals using a low atmospheric pressure system with or without the addition of inert gas. In particular, the animals are placed into a chamber, the chamber is sealed, and the pressure in the chamber is reduced along a predetermined pressure curve to a target decompression pressure, and maintained at the decompression pressure for a period of time until the animal achieves a state of death. The low atmospheric pressure slaughter is more humane than traditional slaughter techniques, and results in excellent meat quality.

Abstract: A method for monitoring gas stunning of birds, where groups of birds are conveyed into and out of a stunning zone (1), and where the concentration of the stunning gas in the stunning zone is measured and adjusted for optimal stunning. The gas concentration is measured at a plurality of measuring positions in the stunning zone and a visual inspection of the birds is performed at two or more of the measuring positions using a visual inspection unit (76), such as a camera, which is moved into the stunning zone together with the group of birds. The groups of birds are advantageously kept in crates (3). The visual inspection unit may be part of a monitoring unit (71) further including a gas sensor (75), said monitoring unit being used for simultaneous measuring of the concentration of the stunning gas and inspection the birds at two or more monitoring positions.
