Disadvantages

DISADVANTAGES

  • If the concentration is too low, the pigs will not be properly stunned.
  • If the concentration is to high, there is a tendency for pigs to become stiff and bleed poorly.
  • If the exposure period is too long, superficial congestion of the skin occurs and when the pigs are scalded the skin is bluish in colour.
