All pork producers face situations where pigs must be euthanized, such as when a pig becomes ill, injured, or otherwise disadvantaged. This brochure put out by the Pork Checkoff and American Association of Swine Veterinarians provides information about proper euthanasia techniques that are crucial for all pork producers and their employees to understand. The brochure discusses eight different ways to euthanize pigs, going into detail about how the euthanasia should be administered, how to limit the pigs pain, what equipment is required, what could potentially go wrong, as well as other important information. The methods discussed are Co2 poisoning, gunshot, penetrating captive-bolt, non-penetrating captive-bolt, electrocution heart-to-head, electrocution head only, veterinarian administered anesthetic overdose, and blunt trauma. Also provided is a chart that shows which euthanasia method is appropriate for pigs of a certain age (suckling, nursery, grow-finish, and sows and boars) and a chart that rates each method in terms of risk to human safety, skill required, aesthetics, and limitations. The end of the brochure offers a euthanasia action plan which can be printed and used.
