Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia
Bovine Euthanasia

• Euthanasia– Transitioning painlessly and stress-free
as possible• Mass Depopulation– Large numbers, quickly and efficiently– Consideration to welfare as practicable
• Terms used interchangeably here
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Euthanasia and Depopulation
![Page 3: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• May be practiced during an animal health emergency
• Goals of Euthanasia – Provide humane treatment– Select acceptable method–Minimize negative emotional impact– Safeguard food chain– Prevent or mitigate disease spread
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Euthanasia and Depopulation
![Page 4: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Goal: Humane Treatment– Decrease animal stress, excitement– Do not force animals to travel quickly– Avoid electric prods • Human body position• Flight zones• Flags• Plastic paddles
– Handle animals quietly
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Handling
![Page 5: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Acceptable (noninhalant injectable)– Barbiturates– Barbiturate derivatives
• Conditionally Acceptable (physical)– Penetrating captive bolt– Gunshot
• Electrocution

Euthanasia Methods
![Page 6: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Usually impractical– Slow process– Expensive– Carcass disposal– Recordkeeping
• May be used if animal is considered to bepet/companion
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Noninhalant Injectable
![Page 7: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Fatal blow in one procedure• Use appropriate restraint • Have adjunct measure
available• Bolt positions– Horned animal– Developed horned base– Polled animal
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Physical- Captive Bolt
![Page 8: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Conditionally acceptable– Species-appropriate ammunition,
appropriate caliber weapon– Proper training, skills, experience
• Close range, same point of entry as captive bolt–Muzzle 2-10 inches from entry point– In older animals, avoid midline• Move aiming point 1 inch to either side
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Physical- Gunshot
![Page 9: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Gunshot at long range generally unacceptable– If necessary• Aim between eye and base of ear• Do not target chest or neck region
• Safety reminder!
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Physical- Gunshot (cont’d)
![Page 10: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Not practical field method for bovines– Animal handling is difficult
• If used:– Tranquilize or sedate first– Electric current through brain to stun• Ear to ear, poll to muzzle
– Electric current through heart • Sides of animal over heart
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Electrocution
![Page 11: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Second shot• IV potassium chloride or magnesium
sulfate• Pithing• Exsanguination
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Adjunct Methods
![Page 12: Mass Depopulation & Euthanasia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/568164d9550346895dd722ef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Confirmation of death can be difficult– Sustained lack of heartbeat and
respiration– Rigor mortis– Evaluate by competent, experienced
personnel
USDA APHIS and CFSPHFAD PReP/NAHEMS Guidelines: MDE-Bovine
Confirmation of Death
