Observations on the physiological effects of pithing cattle at slaughter
1A. & F.R.C. Food Research Institute-Bristol, Langford, Bristol, Great Britain.
Abstract:
Pithing cattle after captive bolt stunning, by thrusting a rod into the cranial cavity, causes violent muscular activity. The present observations have shown that this does not result in a rapid fall in the muscle pH similar to that occurring after electrical stimulation. The claim that pithing for a greater length than usual down the spinal cord causes marked enlargement of the spleen has not been substantiated.
