Electrical stimulation – carcass before receiving the electrical impulse

Electrical stimulation – carcass receiving the electrical impulse

This demonstrates the application of high-voltage electrical stimulation to beef carcasses. The carcass on the left is in the relaxed state while the carcass on the right is receiving 550 volts of electricity through this LeFiell Lectro-Tender. This stimulator was the first commercially built and installed unit. It was first put into operation at Sam Kane Beef Processors in Corpus Christi, Texas in November, 1978.
