A treatment system for sick and dead livestock and poultry, including a cracking and propagation system, a heating and heat balancing system, a waste gas treatment system and a detection and control system. The heating and heat balancing system is connected with a water jacket and a coil of the cracking and propagation system by pipes. A waste gas exhaust pipe of the cracking and propagation system is connected with the waste gas treatment system. The detection and control system controls connection of the above systems. The present invention creatively designs pollution treatment equipment, innovates the treatment mode, soaks sick and dead livestock and poultry and placentas in livestock and poultry manure liquid for cracking and fermentation and turns waste into wealth, so that not only the sick and dead livestock and poultry and placentas are completely harmless, but also a resource utilization rate is maximized.

A poultry stunning apparatus including a trough for containing water through which the poultry is carried for stunning. The apparatus also including an electrical control module configured to apply a DC current to the poultry at a voltage sufficient to stun the poultry and to apply AC current to the stunned poultry at a voltage and for a period of time sufficient to immobilize and relax the muscles of the stunned poultry, while at the same time avoiding or minimizing damage to the poultry tissue. The apparatus further including a stunning electrode positioned within the trough, the stunning electrode including a metal plate adapted and positioned within the trough to be contacted in a contact zone by the poultry as the poultry are carried along, the contact zone of the metal plate being substantially smooth and uninterrupted.
