This study examined the effect of neck cut position on the time to physical collapse in upright restrained halal slaughtered. Cattle (n = 644). Time to collapse was used as an indirect indicator of the early stages of onset of unconsciousness. Cattle. Were slaughtered with either a conventional low (LNC) (n = 561) or a high neck cut (HNC) (n = 83). Mean time to final collapse. Was higher in the LNC compared to HNC group (18.9 edge 1.1 s and 13.5 edge 1.3 s respectively (P < 0.01)). The mean false aneurysm. Scores were higher in the LNC cattle (2005-2006) 0.8 0.0 compared to the HNC (0.6 edge 0.1) (P < 0.01). Animals that took > 20 s to. Final collapse had larger false aneurysms. In summary the HNC, reduced the mean time to final collapse and the frequency. Of animals that took longer than 20 s to collapse.
