Survey of the incidence of post-stun behavioural reflexes in electrically stunned broilers in commercial conditions and the relationship of their incidence with the applied water-bath electrical parameters
Despite recent technological advances, stunning efficiency of broilers in commercial plants is still questionable and a major public concern. The aim of this survey was to assess the electric water-bath parameters used in poultry processing plants, establish practical ways for the assessment of stunning efficiency in these conditions, link their incidence to the applied current […]

While the analysis of displays and communication in reptiles has accelerated during the past decade, much of the information has been anecdotal and gathered without focus. There are exceptions. In a few studies releasers and releasing mechanisms were analyzed. However, to date our understanding of the communication repertoire of even the best studied reptile, the […]
