Euthanasia of neonatal rats with carbon dioxide.
Exposure to CO(2) is a common method used to euthanize rodents in biomedical research and rodent production. The purpose of this study was to determine the length of CO(2) exposure required to euthanize neonatal rats (0 to 10 d old). Multiple groups of rats were exposed to 100% CO(2) for 5 to 60 min. After CO(2) exposure, rats were placed in room air for 20 min to allow for possible recovery. N...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide for euthanasia: concerns regarding pain and distress, with special reference to mice and rats.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most commonly used agent for euthanasia of laboratory rodents, used on an estimated tens of millions of laboratory rodents per year worldwide, yet there is a growing body of evidence indicating that exposure to CO2 causes more than momentary pain and distress in these and other animals. We reviewed the available literature on the use of CO2 for euthanasia (as well as...
متن کاملInduction of euthanasia using carbon dioxide in rat: an overview of the available practical guidelines
Background and aims: Euthanasia is used to define ending an animal's life in a way that results in rapid anesthesia and death without pain or distress. One of the most common methods of performing euthanasia in rats is the administration of carbon dioxide (CO2). The aim of this study was to review the available practical guidelines for inducing euthanasia in rats by administrating CO2. M...
متن کاملGas alternatives to carbon dioxide for euthanasia: a piglet perspective.
The search for alternative methods to euthanize piglets is critical to address public concern that current methods are not optimal. Scientific evidence supports that blunt force trauma is humane when performed correctly, but most people find it visually difficult to accept. The use of CO2 is often recommended; at the same time, it is criticized as being aversive to pigs. This research sought to...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide for emergency on-farm euthanasia of swine
In the event of a foreign animal disease outbreak in the United States, a rapid and humane method of on-farm swine euthanasia will be required. Given the extraordinary number of animals involved and the design of currently used swine confinement buildings, methods relying on the handling and restraint of individual animals will likely prove much too slow to stem the spread of disease. Humanely ...
