Common husbandry-systems’ effects on exposure times for abattoirs to humanely stun pigs in CAS systems

Project


Project code: FLI-ITT-23-26-05-07
Contract period: 12.03.2026 - 12.09.2027
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: fattening pigs, slaughter, farming systems

The aim of this project is to determine the durations of exposure required for safe stunning of pigs with CO2 in paternoster systems, depending on different genetics and housing systems. The new measurement approach opens up the possibility of obtaining information about the influence of various factors on the necessary duration of exposure in these systems by measuring the stunning progress in the gondola without interfering with the animals or the stunning parameters.
