EEG analyses following euthanasia application in 8 and 18 w.o. turkeys. Shown are the time course to brain death following administration of pentobarbital sodium IV (a), manual cervical dislocation (b), and mechanical cervical dislocation (c) of mean (±SE) band power (A.1, B.1, C.1) and mean (±SE) Ptot with spectral variables (F50 and F95) (A.2, B.2, C.2) from baseline to 5 min endpoint (300 s). Data are shown as mean (±SE) values for consecutive 15 s intervals after euthanasia application. Baseline values represent the mean of four 15 s intervals immediately preceding euthanasia. Open symbols indicate post-euthanasia time points at which mean differed from baseline within treatment (adjusted p < 0.05). The dotted red line represents time of euthanasia method application and dotted blue line represents onset of isoelectric EEG
