2. 2 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 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 3. 3 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 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 4. 4 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 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 5. 5 Applying the Anoxia technique Small flocks Disposable containers are used Culling Conservation & storage Transportation 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 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 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 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 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 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 2014 Applied Veterinary Technologies Europe AB 9.
