EUTHANASIA – CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE CARE AND HANDLING OF PIGS
Posted in: Prairie Swine Centre, Swine Innovation, Welfare by admin on October 26, 2017
The following is a list of acceptable and unacceptable methods of euthanasia of individual animals for
use on-farm, as well as methods that are only considered acceptable with the noted conditions. The
chart is based on the information that was available at the time of publishing1. For any method to be
considered acceptable, it must render the animal immediately insensible and the animal must not return
to sensibility prior to death. Individuals who euthanize pigs must be trained in the appropriate methods.
