ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION MANY processors believe that the improvement of the meat type birds through breeding and high carbohydrate and low protein feeding has resulted in slower and less complete bleeding of the birds at slaughter. This, coupled with accelerated processing procedures, has resulted in increased percentages of poorly bled and misbled carcasses. A number of investigators have worked for remedies. They studied the effects of various degrees of starving prior to sticking, Baker, Margolf and Callenbach (1950); the use of various sticking techniques, Newell and Shaffner (1950); Davis and Coe (1954); the injection of epinephrine into the veins, the treatment of birds with high concentrations of oxygen, Newell and Shaffner (1950a); the feeding of special rations to birds, Turner (1948); and the influence of electric shock, Mountney, Gardner and Gayvert (1956). Other researchers in working to improve slaughtering methods for use on mammals, reportedly have been successful in improving bleeding by . . .
