| Summary: | after scalding, feathers from the right femoral and chilling, breast fillets were harvested at 1.5 h between the two stunning treatments (CO2 and broilers were scalded with a soft scald (53 C for 120 Broilers were stunned with carbon dioxide or Micrographics. carbon dioxide stunning method does not influence FRF, development relative to electrical stunning. electrical saline stunner (35 mA, 7 s) or a shackle- electrical) for either scalding treatment. However, electricity prior to slaughter to evaluate feather feather tract were removed perpendicularly using a force gauge to evaluate FRF. Following evisceration gradient for 90 s). After bleeding for 90 s, the indicated that there were no significant differences line carbon dioxide gas stunning tunnel (15 to 40% CO2 of Pectoralis. Broilers (n = 72) were stunned using an pH, or R-value due to stunning method. FRF results postmortem for pH, R-value, and cooked meat shear release force (FRF), and shear value, pH, and R-value s) or a softer scald (53 C for 90 s). Within 2 min significant (P > .05) differences in FRF, shear value, the FRF for the soft scald was higher than that for the necessary scalding conditions, or rigor mortis the softer scald. These results suggest that this value. The results indicated that there were no |
