    Abstract: A poultry stunning apparatus and method, the apparatus including an electrical control module configured to apply a DC current to the poultry at a voltage sufficient to stun the poultry and to apply AC current to the stunned poultry at a voltage and for a period of time sufficient to immobilize and relax the muscles of the stunned poultry, while at the same time avoiding or minimizing damage to the poultry tissue. In the method, DC voltage/current is applied for initial stunning, followed by an AC voltage/current to immobilize poultry and to further relax the muscles of the stunned poultry, such that the poultry does not exhibit involuntary motions, while at the same time avoiding or minimizing damage to the poultry tissue.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for stunning animals intended to be slaughtered wherein the animals are introduced into and displaced from above downwardly in a closed environment (1) containing a stunning gas mixed with air at an increasing concentration with a top to bottom vertical gradient from a preset initial value to a final higher value. The stunning gas concentration is detected in the upper area (2) of the environment (1) and in case the detected concentration is higher than the preset initial value, the external air is automatically supplied to the upper area at a pressure slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure until the preset initial value is restored.
