Effect of neck cut position on time to collapse in halal slaughtered cattle without stunning (2015)
Journal Article
Gibson, T. J., Dadios, N., & Gregory, N. G. (2015). Effect of neck cut position on time to collapse in halal slaughtered cattle without stunning. Meat Science, 110, 310-4. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meatsci.2015.03.026

This study examined the effect of neck cut position on the time to physical collapse in upright restrained halal slaughtered cattle (n = 644). Time to collapse was used as an indirect indicator of the early stages of onset of unconsciousness. Cattle...

Evaluation of a spring-powered captive bolt gun for killing kangaroo pouch young (2015)
Journal Article
Sharp, T. M., McLeod, S. R., Leggett, K. E. A., & Gibson, T. J. (2015). Evaluation of a spring-powered captive bolt gun for killing kangaroo pouch young. Wildlife Research, 41, 623-632. https://doi.org/10.1071/WR14094

Context: During commercial harvesting or non-commercial kangaroo culling programs, dependent young of shot females are required to be euthanased to prevent suffering and because they would be unlikely to survive. However, the current method for killi... Read More about Evaluation of a spring-powered captive bolt gun for killing kangaroo pouch young.

Electroencephalographic assessment of pneumatically powered penetrating and non-penetrating captive-bolt stunning of bulls
Journal Article
Gibson, T. J., Octavio Oliveira, S. E., Dalla Costa, F. A., & Gregory, N. G. (in press). Electroencephalographic assessment of pneumatically powered penetrating and non-penetrating captive-bolt stunning of bulls. Meat Science, 151, 54-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meatsci.2019.01.006

The electroencephalographic (EEG) responses of 31 bulls (zebu crossbred cattle) stunned with either pneumatically powered Jarvis penetrating (PCB) or non-penetrating captive bolt (NPCB) was examined. Animals were organized into two treatment groups:... Read More about Electroencephalographic assessment of pneumatically powered penetrating and non-penetrating captive-bolt stunning of bulls.
