Controlled Atmosphere Stunning (CAS)

Improving animal welfare, processing conditions and meat quality in modern meat and poultry plants.

Consumer interest in animal welfare is rising – as are quality requirements for meat and poultry. Our sophisticated Controlled Atmosphere Stunning (CAS) solutions satisfy the evolving needs of today’s slaughter plants. We can help you to design a safe and reliable system tailored to your individual needs.

CAS modifies the atmosphere to create humane euthanasia conditions for animals. This gentle technology provides a less stressful experience, contributing to improved animal welfare, better processing conditions and higher quality meat.

Improved animal welfare:

  • Reduced stress for animals, no restraints required.

  • Elimination of broken bones. 

  • Reduced vocalization.


Processing improvements:

  • Improved and safer working environment

  • Better plucking results

  • Reduced fecal contamination (from the use of anesthesia)

  • Easier animal handling

  • Higher quality meat

  • Elimination of hemorrhages, bruises and broken bones 

  • Reduced meat bruising

  • Better bleed-out of arteries in the fillet, wing and thigh
