ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a saline solution containing elongated trough which is mounted at the end portions of four non-electronically conducting ports. The trough has an ingress funnel arrangement designed to control the thrashing of to-be-electrically-stunned birds and an elongated grid having a portion immersed in the solution and a downstream portion out of the solution. The four posts extend upwardly and terminate in threaded portions. A frame carriage is provided which has four corners and at the four corners are suitable mounted driven gears with internal bores and threads adapted to enjoyingly rotate about the threaded portions of the ports. The carriage is suitable affixed to a conventional I-beam to which is movingly mounted a conventional endless cable and space shackle system for conveying birds in an upside down manner. The four mounted gears are rotatable in unison by a chain drive whereby the trough may be selectively moved upwardly or downwardly as found necessary to vary the distance between the said I-beam and said trough to accommodate different sized shackles and/or birds.
