A new devise used for euthanizing young pigs has proven to be effective. Electrocuting young pigs was not possible because currents would not penetrate past the pigs skin. This new method will be able to euthanize the pig quickly and is easy to use. Preliminary tests found that the device was successful in making the animals loose consciousness within 3-5 seconds. The study found this to be a humane way of euthanizing pigs with benefits to the person carrying out the procedure.
