Mechanically-assisted cervical dislocation for turkeys. The bird is restrained in a cone (inverted position). A nylon cord is looped (600 mm) over and behind the head at the cranial/vertebral (C0/C1) junction. Holding the head firmly in place (by hand), the stockworker places his foot through the lower part of the loop situated beneath the bird (off the ground) and forcefully and quickly presses his foot to the floor causing a rapid dislocation of the neck.
