There's an urgent need for more humane stunning methods for poultry and pigs in slaughterhouses. Stunning is commonly used to render the animal unconscious prior to exsanguination. However, these methods have high capital and running costs and/or significant welfare issues.This project will build novel RF induction heating prototypes to examine the feasibility of using RF induction heating techniques as a stunning method for poultry. Prior work suggests that this may be possible; now we want to build a RF induction heating commercial prototype unit, install it at a licenced premises, and undertake further proof-of-concept tests with live birds. The project will also explore the use of this technique on cadaver pigs.

屠宰场迫切需要更人道的家禽和猪的击昏方法。在放血之前，通常使用电击使动物失去知觉。然而，这些方法具有较高的资本和运行成本和/或显著的福利问题。本项目将建立新型射频感应加热原型，以研究使用射频感应加热技术作为家禽致晕方法的可行性。之前的工作表明这是可能的;现在我们想建立一个射频感应加热商业原型装置，将其安装在有许可证的场所，并对活禽进行进一步的概念验证测试。该项目还将探索在尸体猪上使用这种技术。
