ASSESSING A METHOD OF MECHANICAL CERVICAL DISLOCATION AS A HUMANE OPTION FOR ON-FARM KILLING USING ANESTHETIZED POULTS AND YOUNG TURKEYS

Assessing a Method of Mechanical Cervical Dislocation as a Humane Option for On-Farm Killing Using Anesthetized Poults and Young Turkeys

Our objective was to determine the efficacy of manual cervical dislocation vs.a mechanical cervical dislocation device for on-farm killing of poults and young turkeys.Forty-two 1- and 3-week old turkeys were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: awake manual cervical dislocation (CD), anesthetized manual cervical dislocation (aCD),
