Equipment

Electrical stunning and killing equipment falls into three main categories: head-only (stun); head-to-back (stun-kill); and head-to-body (stun-kill). All systems consist of an electrical control box to produce the appropriate supply and a system of electrodes to deliver current to the animal. Head-only and head-to-back systems usually have the electrodes placed manually; head-to-body systems tend to have automatic electrode placement.
