:  Effects of different medium‐voltage electrical stimulation (ES) and ageing on postmortem changes in longissimus dorsi muscle of the fat‐tailed sheep were studied. Fifteen male animals were divided into 5 equal groups (n= 3) including: T1 (control, without ES), T2 (100 V/30 s), T3 (100 V/60 s), T4...
