Generation 1 Stimulation

Description
Generation 1 Stimulation is an electrical stimulation system works in tandem with related technology such as  immobilisation and back stiffeners. The system can be adjusted to suit different carcase types, but unlike generation 2 technology such as SmartStim, every carcase will be given the same amount of stimulation.

The Generation 1 system has a manual Computer Process Management System (CPMS) system that has been calibrated with meat quality attributes determined using measurement protocols such as those utilised in Meat Standards Australia (MSA) and Sheep Meat Eating Quality (SMEQ) grading.

Benefits
The benefits of the Generation 1 Stimulation technology include:

• Improved eating quality.
• Reduced OH&S risk.
• Improved blood recovery.

Availability
The Generation 1 Stimulation equipment is available now from StimTech Pty Ltd and has been installed in most processing plants within Australia and New Zealand. Please contact MLA for further details.
