Culling poultry
The Anoxia method
 100% efficient & effective in killing animals humanly
according to International standards
 Lowest number of responders needed to operate
 Lowest running costs
 No extensive training of operators needed
 Easy to implement at any given location
 No contact between humans & animals
 Generally applicable, regardless the type of housing or
animal quantities
 Integrates the use of soap to reduce the virus load

Decontamination
The Anoxia technique contributes
to the cleaning & disinfection
process
 Soaks the birds with soapy water
 Prevents contaminated dust to get
airborne during depopulation
 Contributes to the safety of the
responders during depopulation
due to the reduced virus loads
 The soap will help to reduce the
virus load in dusty areas
 Contributes to pest control

Occupational Health & Safety
The Anoxia technique contributes
to limit OH&S risks
 Limits the number of responders
 Limits Animal – to – Human contact
 The soap prevents contaminated
materials to stick to the Personal
Protection Equipment
 Prevents heat stress
 The foam helps to cool down the
temperature in the direct
proximity of the responders

6. 6
Applying the Anoxia technique
Small flocks
 A single nozzle system can be
used to cull up to 12.000 birds
within a time frame of 8 hours.
 The nitrogen source could be a
small size nitrogen generator
with a capacity of 1m3 p/min

7. 7
Applying the Anoxia technique
Large flocks - broilers
 A multi nozzle Anoxia robot
produces 6 m3 foam per minute
 The Anoxia robot is self-
propelled and remote controlled
 The room can be flooded with
foam
 Flocks can be separated in
temporary pens; the Anoxia
robot fills the pens separately

8. 8
Applying the Anoxia technique
Large flocks - Layers
 Two Anoxia multi nozzle
robots produce up to 12 m3
foam per minute
 The robots robot is self-
propelled and remote
controlled
 The Anoxia robots move
between the Tiers with cages
 The cages are flooded with
foam
