Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production

Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production

Abstract: An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional approaches such as electronarcosis. Aversion to the gas and efficacy in causing prolonged un...
