PT journal article

AB Apart from one animal in which insensibility first occurred within 34 s, the first indication of insensibility did not occur until between 65 and 85 s. All animals subsequently showed evidence of periodic resurgence of possible sensibility for up to 123 to 323 s after slaughter. Such resurgences were seen to be preceded by a respiratory gasp. The EEG did not become isoelectric until between 132 and 336 s. Involuntary movements of the animal and the presence of corneal and palpebral reflexes persisted for up to 300 s after slaughter.
