This paper provides an overview of the electrical stunning systems and their implementation in modern-day broiler slaughter plants. The application of low voltage electrical stunning systems in the U.S. is reviewed and contrasted with European experiences within the context of differing slaughter technologies, practices, and regulatory constraints. Finally, the impact of electrical stunning on traditional carcass and meat quality attributes of broilers is examined.
