pound

Spanish translation: (martillo) macho

18:51 Jan 29, 2012
English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / Slaughtering
English term or phrase: pound
Some more from the slaughterhouse working procedures. CONTEXT:

"The pound must only be used to induce loss of consciousness in those animals in which this has not been fully achieved by the standard means. In no case shall it be used as a single CLIS."

In the glossary, CLIS appears as "consciousness loss inducing system".

TIA.

Explanation:
Hola,

Lo único que se me ocurre es que "pound" se refiera al martillo macho (sledgehammer) con el cual se le asesta un golpe en la cabeza a las reses para aturdirlas (o matarlas).

agree  slothm: Un martillo no alcanza, se usa un mazo si la pistola neumática no logra su fin.
