Hypoxic chamber animal comfort and stunning equipment

Broadly speaking, humane slaughter means adopting methods that are consistent with animal behavior during the transportation, loading and unloading of animals, staying for slaughter, and slaughtering to minimize the stress and fear of animals. That is to say, we must treat animals well and reduce the pain of animal death. This article will introduce to you the hypoxic warehouse animal euthanasia equipment produced by Ganzhou Dachang Air Conditioning Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. Its function is to reduce the pressure on animals during the slaughtering process and achieve a painless euthanasia process.

At present, there are two ways to slaughter chickens, ducks (poultry), pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock: one is to directly cut the throat and bleed; the second is to stun in the pool (40-50V voltage) and then slaughter and bleed. Both methods are difficult to ensure that these chickens, ducks (poultry), pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock are completely unconscious, which not only affects the meat quality due to slaughter stress, but also makes people feel too cruel. Animal protection activists believe that livestock such as chickens, ducks (poultry), pigs, cattle, and sheep for human consumption have extremely short lifespans and are painful throughout their lives. Killing them in these ways is too inhumane, and they call for humane slaughter methods.

The low-pressure and low-oxygen comfort slaughtering technology developed by Ganzhou Dachang Air Conditioning is a humane method of slaughtering broiler chickens, ducks (poultry), pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock. It is beneficial to the welfare of poultry and livestock and will not have adverse effects on the subsequent processing. Daqi's stun equipment is supported by several animal welfare organizations, such as the Humane Slaughter Association. The organic oil chicken poultry factory in Baicheng, Xinjiang has been used, and mobile equipment is also running in Baicheng, Xinjiang. The organic oil chicken in Baicheng, Xinjiang is exported to Europe, the United States and other Western European countries. The product has been approved by the European Union Safety Administration for use in the EU.

The chickens and livestock receiving Dachang's Stun are placed in a sealed dark warehouse with environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity suitable for broilers to make them drowsy. The air inside the equipment space became hypoxic for four and a half minutes, causing the oxygen level to drop from 21% to less than 5%. In the first 40 seconds, they barely react. For 50 to 70 seconds, they fall over, as if about to sleep. This is when they lose consciousness, until they are irreversibly brain-dead, and then they are slaughtered using the traditional slaughtering and bleeding method.

We will briefly introduce the animal stun equipment in the hypoxic warehouse here. Note: Dachang stun can be made into a streamline. You need to know more technical information about Dachang equipment - animal and poultry stun slaughtering equipment.

The principle of hypoxic chamber animal euthanasia equipment (also often mentioned as a type of euthanasia equipment) is mainly based on the following aspects:

1. Hypoxic environment simulation

The hypoxic chamber simulates a low-oxygen or even anoxic environment by precisely controlling the oxygen concentration in the chamber. During respiration, animals need to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. When the oxygen concentration drops to a certain level, the animal cannot obtain enough oxygen to maintain normal life activities, causing it to enter a hypoxic state, that is, a state of euthanasia or euthanasia.

2. Gas exchange and control system

The core of the hypoxic chamber lies in its efficient gas exchange and control system. The system can monitor and adjust the oxygen level in the chamber in real time to ensure the stability and repeatability of experimental or euthanasia conditions. By precisely regulating the concentration of oxygen in the chamber, the device can gradually bring the animal into a state of comfort.

3. Life support system (some equipment may include it)

Although the main purpose is euthanasia, some advanced hypoxic chamber equipment may also be equipped with life support systems such as air purification, temperature and humidity adjustment, and exhaust gas treatment to ensure the safety and health of animals (or experimental samples) during experiments or euthanasia. However, in euthanasia application scenarios, these systems are more about maintaining a stable euthanasia environment rather than directly participating in the euthanasia process.

Hypoxic chamber animal comfort and stun equipment is widely used inChickens, ducks, geese (poultry), pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, etc.Reduce the stress on animals during the slaughtering process and achieve a painless euthanasia process.

Things to note

1. When using a hypoxic chamber for animal euthanasia, relevant ethical and legal regulations must be strictly observed to ensure that the rights and interests of animals are respected.

2. Operators need to receive professional training and understand the operation methods and precautions of the equipment to ensure the smooth progress of the euthanasia process.

3. Equipment needs to be maintained and calibrated regularly to ensure its performance and accuracy.
