Benefits:
Immobilises the animal so any procedure can be performed efficiently and safely.
Provides stress relief during procedures where anaesthesia is not possible or practical
Reduces stress for both animals and operators
Reduces accidents by minimising animal handling
Improves efficiency by reducing procedure time
Improved meat quality by increasing the rate of pH decline
Better bleed when applied during and after bleed
Less water waste by reduction of blood dripping
Increases yield due to reduction in weight-loss
How Does it Work?
The Immobiliser delivers an electronic impulse that stimulates the animal’s natural nervous system, causing the animal to become immobile for the duration that the pulse is applied - ensuring the safety of both handler and animal and allowing the required procedure to be carried out as efficiently as possible. The effects of electrical rectal probe stunning are temporary and immediately reversible upon cessation of impulse. The unit is to be used for the sole purpose of immobilisation for short periods of time. Can be safely used on small stock like pigs, goats and sheep, and is safe to use on pregnant animals.
PLEASE NOTE: This tool is not an anaesthetic measure and should not be used as a pain relief tool.

This device can be used for both immobilisation, and stimulation. Immobilisation before slaughter, will reduce the stress on the animal, and stimulation after slaughter will greatly assist in maximising eating quality potential.
Every animal has energy contained in its muscles in the form of glycogen, once the animal has passed, this muscle glycogen is converted to lactic acid, which causes the PH to fall. If there is not enough glycogen available in the animal at the time of slaughter, insufficient lactic acid will be produced and the PH will remain high, resulting in dark meat.
Once the animal has been slaughtered, you can insert the immobiliser into either the mouth or the rectum of the animal, and turn the dial all the way up to stimulating, you will be able see the animals muscles contract and tense, this stimulation releases lactic acids, allowing for the meats PH to lower. This will result in a deliciously tender meat, and can also delay rigor mortis.
