CO2 and electrical stunning differentially affect energy metabolism in pigs
Abstract The use of CO₂ or electrical stunning to render pigs unconscious and insensible before exsanguination is a common practice. Although both methods are widely implemented, they differ fundamentally in their underlying mechanisms, and studies have produced conflicting results regarding their i...
