The University of Bristol has begun a review of the animal welfare implications of euthanizing neonate piglets on-farm using the Zephyr-EXL euthanasia system. There are a variety of reasons for on-farm euthanasia of farm animals including:
- euthanasia of diseased/injured animals (culling);
- management/husbandry euthanasia;
- whole farm/building euthanasia
