Did you know that Carbon Dioxide is a gas used for Animal Welfare? Carbon Dioxide is considered one of the most humane approaches to the euthanasia of poultry and is compliant with current legislation and assurance scheme standards. Nippon Gases have offered our expertise and recently partnered with Livetec, a Company which exists to support Farm Businesses to safeguard their livelihood and protect the Welfare of their livestock.
For many Farmers, high standards of Animal Welfare
are necessary to protect their livestock from the risks of a disease outbreak,
this is what Livetec specialises in. The Company was co-founded by Gordon
Samet, an expert in providing on-farm depopulation services. Livetec focus on
biosecurity to significantly reduce the risk of an outbreak on-farm as well as
a contingency planning service, which is tailored to each farm business.
- "This year has been particularly difficult for UK Farms concerning Avian Influenza and it´s essential that Farms continue to implement the most stringent biosecurity measures to prevent their own disease outbreaks", says Gordon Samet.
Carbon Dioxide as the most humane procedure in depopulation for poultry or pigs.
Everything they do at Livetec is underpinned by rigorous amounts of research and development which enable them to offer a range of higher welfare products for effective, humane slaughter at any scale.
They use different systems for Animal Welfare and Carbon Dioxide is considered the most humane and quickest procedure for the depopulation via euthanasia of large-scale flocks of poultry or pigs. It can manage large scale disease outbreaks which reduces distress for the animals and is compliant with current legislation and assurance scheme standards.

Livetec are working to ensure they achieve the highest standards and have partnered with Nippon Gases to ensure these safety measures are maintained and exceeded.
