1. The aim of this study was to evaluate the electroencephalographic (EEG) and behavioural responses of turkeys stunned with three different concussive non-penetrative captive-bolt guns prior to slaughter. 2. A total of 31 slaughter weight ex-bree... Read More about Electroencephalographic assessment of concussive non-penetrative captive bolt stunning of turkeys.

Efficiency of low versus high airline pressure in stunning cattle with a pneumatically powered penetrating captive bolt gun (2017)
Journal Article
Oliveira, S. E. O., Gregory, N. G., Costa, F. A. D., Gibson, T. J., & Rodrigues Paranhos Da Costa, M. J. (2017). Efficiency of low versus high airline pressure in stunning cattle with a pneumatically powered penetrating captive bolt gun. Meat Science, 130, 64-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meatsci.2017.04.007

The efficiency of stunning cattle was assessed in 443 animals (304 pure Zebu and 139 crossbred cattle), being mainly mature bulls and cows. Cattle were stunned using a Jarvis pneumatically powered penetrating captive bolt gun operating with low (160–...
