<strong>Guidelines</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>humane</strong> <strong>h<strong>and</strong>ling</strong>, <strong>transport</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>slaughter</strong> <strong>of</strong> livestock<br />
Ostriches should be stunned only electrically. The tongs are placed<br />
either at the sides <strong>of</strong> the head below <strong>and</strong> behind the eye or above <strong>and</strong><br />
below the head (Fig. 59). Poultry can be stunned electrically using a<br />
manually operated device (Fig. 60) or using an automatic water bath<br />
(Fig. 61). Here birds are dragged through a trough <strong>of</strong> water that is<br />
charged with a low voltage current.<br />
