  • Patent number: 4495676
    Abstract: An apparatus for electrically stimulating an animal carcass including means applying a series of electrical impulses to the animal carcass having a potential between about 30 and 60 volts and relaxing the muscles of the carcass for a period by interrupting the electrical impulses. The apparatus has a nose clamp and an insert plug. An electrical impulse generator generates low voltage electrical impulses to the nose clamp and insert plug. A step-down transformer reduces the voltage. An interval cycle timer controls the time duration of the stimulation cycle. A repeat cycle pulsation timer automatically controls the on-off of the electric current to the carcass.
