Abstract
The invention in one aspect provides a method of determining the pH of a carcass or part thereof. The method comprises stimulating the carcass with an electrical test signal; measuring the response of the carcass to the test signal; deriving a set of response data values obtained from measuring the response of the carcass; and determining the pH of at least part of the carcass from the set of response values. The invention further provides a method of reducing the pH of a carcass or part thereof. The method comprises determining the pH of the carcass; comparing the determined pH with a stored target pH value; stimulating the carcass with an electrical corrective signal if the determined pH is greater than the stored target pH value; and repeating the foregoing steps until the determined pH is less than the stored target pH value. The invention also provides related systems.
