Percussion stunning of sheep

 

Abstract

Extract

Sir, — As from October 1976, all sheep in this country will have to be stunned prior to slaughter. Until recently it had been widely assumed that some form of electrical stunning would be the only practical method for use in New Zealand freezing works. Although for several years electrical stunning has been used for pigs in this country and other classes of stock overseas, only one meat export works in New Zealand has been stunning sheep electrically as a routine procedure for a complete season.
