Deux des méthodes d'étourdissement les plus employées sont le pistolet à cheville percutante (également appelé pistolet à projectile captif ou pistolet d'abattage) et l'étourdissement électrique. [...] L'étourdissement au pistolet à cheville percutante est surtout employé pour les bovins; il s'agit d'un moyen simple et efficace s'il est appliqué au bon endroit sur la tête de l'animal, ce dernier étant saigné immédiatement après. 2, record 1, French, - pistolet%20d%27abattage
