Influence of various chilling methods on the sustainable beef production based on high voltage electrical stimulation.

Among the challenges of sustainable management of meat production, the key issue is to improve the energy efficiency of production processes, which will consequently affect the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Such effects are achieved by combining various chilling systems with electrical stim...
