Containerised Gassing Units (CGUs)
On-farm culling solutions that are compliant and scalable.
Livetec’s Containerised Gassing Units (CGUs) are designed to humanely stun and kill batches of poultry.
Our industry-leading, gas-based stunning systems provide a cost effective, scalable and rapid solution for high welfare onsite depletion or depopulation.
Designed to the highest welfare standards our range of CGUs keep your farm operating in compliance with EU 1099/2009 and UK WATOK 2015 legislation.
To ensure gas exposure regulatory requirements are being met, CGU units should be used alongside Livetec’s Smart Oxygen Meter (SOM) to provide complete peace of mind that gas exposure regulations are being met on-farm and to ensure compliance.
