14 Captive bolt stunner device
6.5 Positioning for various animal breeds
For cows, the captive bolt pistol is to be positioned 1-3 cm above the center
of the intersection point center horn/imaginary horns to center eye. The
older the animal, the higher the position. The device is to be applied verti-
cally to the forehead (at right angles).
Positioning and angle for heavy animals with the Bullen Blitz:
For animals with horns, the device is to be positioned approx. 1-3 cm above the
imaginary intersection point from the center of the horns to the center of the
eyes.
For animals without horns, the device is to be positioned according to the
“imaginary” horns.
Where both halves of the skull are fused in the middle of the
forehead, a comb-shaped bulge can form on the outside in bulls of
meat breeds and crossbreeds as well as in large sows and boars!
Only if this comb is externally visible or noticeable during attach-
ment, the cattle shot should be attached to the side of it (approx. 1 cm to the
right or le of the centre line)!
For cows, the stunning apparatus is to be positioned vertically to the forehead
surface; press the stunning apparatus rmly onto the animal’s head!
Should there be strong hair growth on the animal’s forehead as is common in
certain breeds, it is to be removed before stunning!
Meat breeds, crossbreeds, large sows and boars as well as ani-
mals with high live weights of 650 kilograms and more
should be stunned with the Bullen Blitz!
