Poultry Depopulation: Breeder House Floor Method.
Annex 4a
*This is a narrative of CD-ROM provided by RS.
June 2011
Materials:
Plastic – 2 sheets (6 mil) (linear length of house area to be covered)
50 # CO2 cylinders- 1 tank/50 ft. (linear ft. length of house to be covered)
Dolly
Cotton gloves
Duct tape
Netting/Migration fencing
People (12 per house, + safety person and vet)
Shovels (6)
Drinks and snacks
House Preparation:
This method can be used on breeder houses which have a center aisle scratch area with slats on each side of
the house. Any center equipment such as feeders and waterlines must be raised before the process is begun.
The birds will be migrated to ¾ area of the scratch (floor) area for depopulation. The entire slat area is netted
closed off with either netting or other plastic to prevent birds from returning to this area. Periodically areas are
left open to permit birds to leave this area as they are driven onto the scratch area for depopulation.
Two sheets of plastic (6 mil) at least 2 feet longer than the scratch area width and the length of the
depopulation area (3/4 of house length) are prepared outside of the house to enclose the bird on the floor. The
plastic is unrolled, unfolded and refolded before taking into the house. One sheet of plastic sheeting is placed
along one of the edge of the scratch area next to the slats and its edge is covered with approximately 2 feet of
litter. The litter should hold the plastic securely against pulling. The free edge of this sheet of plastic is then
placed on the edge of the slats and nest boxes to maximize floor space during movement of birds off of the slats
onto the floor (scratch) area. This process should be repeated on the other side of the floor area against the
edge of the slats. Each side of the floor (scratch area) the house will now have a folded sheet of plastic with a
free end which can be drawn across the floor and over the birds. The CO2 cylinders should be laid down the
length wise in the house and distributed evenly. Nozzles should point parallel to the floor. Cylinder locations
should be able to be identified from a ceiling point such as male feeder lines. Once covered with the plastic the
cylinders cannot be readily located from the floor observations.
Migration of the Birds:
Birds should be migrated off of the slat areas through the open paths left in the netting. These opening should
be closed as birds are moved off of the slat areas. To the prepared floor section consists of ¾ of the scratch
area. Birds should be moved slowly to prevent piling, sitting down and non movement.
Covering the birds:
To begin the process workers are evenly spaced the length of the house will grasp the end of plastic on one
edge of the floor area. This free end will be pulled over the birds to the other side of the house. After crossing
the floor (scratch) area, the second sheet of plastic will be grasped and pulled over the first sheet to the other
side of the floor area. Once this step is completed the end section at the front and rear of the area should be
sealed with at least 2 feet of litter.
Workers are removed from the house and the fans turned off. A designated person, trained in the use of self
contained breathing equipment, should now proceed with the euthanasia process by turning on the cylinder
valves gradually, but fully. When completed this person leaves the house immediately.
Re –entering the house:
After 20 minutes the house may be re-entered by the designated person. The house fans should be turned on
and the curtains opened. At this point the work crew may re-enter and uncover the birds. Plastic sheeting
should be pulled to the side walls to expose the dead birds. The CO2 cylinders should be turned off and
removed to the outside of the house. The dead birds may be turned over to the disposal team.

House Preparation:
This method can be used on broiler houses which have no floor posts or other immovable floor obstructions.
Equipment such as feeders and waterlines must be raised before the process is begun. The birds will be are
migrated into ¼ to ½ of total floor area for the depopulation procedures.
Two sheets of plastic the width of the house and ¼ to ½ the house length are prepared outside of the house to
enclose the bird on the floor. The plastic is unrolled, unfolded and refolded before taking into the house. One
sheet of plastic sheeting is placed along one of the sidewalls of the house and its edge is covered with
approximately 2 feet of litter. The litter should hold the plastic securely against pulling. After sealing the plastic
with litter, roll the rest of the plastic (free edge) back toward the house sidewall to maximize floor space during
migration. This process should be repeated on the other side of the house with the other sheet of plastic. Each
sidewall of the house will now have a folded sheet of plastic with a free end which can be drawn across the floor
and over the birds. The CO2 cylinders should be laid down the length wise in the house and distributed evenly.
Nozzles should point parallel to the floor. Cylinder locations should be able to be identified from a ceiling point.
Once covered with the plastic the cylinders cannot be readily located from the floor observations.
Migration of the Birds: . Birds should be migrated to the prepared house section consisting of ¼ to ½ of the
house. Birds should be moved slowly to prevent piling, sitting down and non movement.
Covering the birds:
To begin the process workers are evenly spaced the length of the house will grasp the end of plastic on one
sidewall of the house. This free end will be pulled over the birds to the other side of the house. After crossing
the width of the house, the second sheet of plastic will be grasped and pulled over the first sheet to the other
side of the house. Once this step is completed the end section at the front and rear of the area should be sealed
with at least 2 feet of litter.
Workers are removed from the house and the fans turned off. A designated person, trained in the use of self
contained breathing equipment, should now proceed with the euthanasia process by turning on the cylinder
valves gradually, but fully. When completed this person leaves the house immediately.
Re –entering the house:
After 20 minutes the house may be re-entered by the designated person. The house fans should be turned on
and the curtains opened. At this point the work crew may re-enter and uncover the birds. Plastic sheeting
should be pulled to the side walls to expose the dead birds. The CO2 cylinders should be turned off and
removed to the outside of the house. The dead birds may be turned over to the disposal team.

Panels:
The available panels are galvanized steel on a metal frame. These have a metal hinge on each end with a
rubber seal on one end. Panels are 40 inches high with lengths available in 10 feet (20), 8 feet (4) and 4 feet (2).
Each panel has a metal rings every 3 feet on the top and bottom of the frame for attachment of strapping
devices. Metal ½ inch pins 46 inches long are used to attach the panels together. Sufficient panels are
available to construct a chamber 100 ft. X 20 feet or variations of this if desired.
Panels should be constructed in a rectangular pattern. Size of the chamber is directly related to the number and
size (age)) of birds. The steel frame of the panels goes to the exterior and sheet metal surface face inside of the
chamber. Pins used to connect the panels should be driven into the ground flush with the top of the panel to
permit better seal with plastic covering.
Efforts are to bring birds into the chamber at a density of .25 -.4 square feet per bird. The panel enclosure
should be constructed in a level area. Once panels are in place floor litter is raked against the inside of the
panels to further seal the chamber at the floor level Doors should be constructed allowing the door ends when
open to funnel birds into the chamber. Sufficient space on one side wall (approximately 4 feet) should be left to
permit adequate work space on both sides of chamber. Proper placement of doors and chamber will greatly
assist in moving birds into the panels at the proper time.
Plastic Sheeting:
A ceiling is constructed of plastic to pull over the chamber to seal the CO2 in during the euthanasia process.
This is constructed from plastic sheeting of 5- 6 mils thickness. Clear or opaque plastic is used to permit viewing
inside the chamber and calm birds once in chamber. Plastic should be cut outside the house if conditions
permit. (I.e. Wind). The plastic is cut is to the length and width of the chamber with and additional 18-24 inches
for each side and end. This will provide area for placement of grommets or claps to hold the plastic in place.
Plastic grommets or other clips are used to attach the plastic to the bottom rings on each metal panel. These
rings are placed so that adequate pressure holding the plastic is available every 3-4 feet. With construction of
long chambers a “throw” rope is attached every 30 feet to assist drawing the plastic over the top of the chamber.

LPAI Plan for GA ANNEXES 2011
Carbon Dioxide Gas:
Annex 4c (page 2 of 2)
CO2 gas is available locally at compressed gas suppliers such as welding supply houses. This is typically
available in tanks containing 20 and 50 pounds of CO2. Additional sizes of 387 pound bulk tanks and whole
truck deliveries may be available.
We need to deliver a concentration of 70% CO2 by volume into the constructed chamber as rapidly and
uniformly as possible. The volume of the chamber is calculated by multiplying length X width X volume. This
volume is multiplied by 70% (i.e. .7). This will give the cubic footage of CO2 needed for the chamber. One
pound of compressed CO2 gas delivers 8.75 cubic feet of CO2 at 70 degrees and one atmosphere. With the
previously calculated volume of CO2 needed we divide this by the 8.75 to determine the poundage of CO2
needed, which is available in tanks. Tanks of CO2 should be evenly spaced along the length of the chamber to
deliver the gas evenly and uniformly to the chamber. Tanks should be secured along the sides of the chambers
and hoses secured within the chamber for gas delivery. Additional cylinders may be needed to deliver this
amount as tanks will tend to freeze up after 7-8 minutes of free flow into the chamber.
Procedures:
Once the plastic is cut to the needed length outside the house, it should be opened and refolded. This folding
should be in an accordion style folding of 4 foot pleats for the width. This folding will facilitate the pulling of the
plastic over the top of the constructed chamber. Once this is done the length may be folded or rolled up to
facilitate moving this into the house. It should be brought into the house and placed along the length of the
panels. The grommets should be placed approximately 6 inches from the edges of the plastic and secured to
the metal rings with the rubber straps or bands. This will be the base to secure pulling the plastic over once the
birds are in the chamber. If the chamber is over 30 feet in length a rope should be placed midway or every 30
feet to assist in drawing the middle areas of the plastic across the chamber.
Grommets or clips should be placed on opposite plastic edge to facilitate more rapid attachment once the plastic
is drawn over the birds. Care should be taken to assure these are placed in proximity of the metal rings at the
bottom of the opposite panel to which they are attached to.
Once the gas tanks are secured, the plastic in place on one side of the floor, birds may be moved into the
chamber. Once birds are in the chamber all activity should be in place to allow immediate euthanasia activity
Proper panel placement and door use should permit these to funnel the birds into the chamber with a minimal of
difficulty. Poultry netting may be used to drive the birds into the chamber. Once all birds are in the chamber the
end doors should be closed and final pin place to secure the door. “Throw” ropes placed along length of the
chamber should now be thrown across the chamber to the other side. With one person on each corner and
each “throw” rope the plastic is drawn over the top of the panels making a ceiling over the chamber. As this is
done this end is now secured with the rubber straps to the metal ring at the bottom of the chamber. Each end is
similarly attached.
At this point all persons should leave the building and the house fans turned off. The person responsible for the
gas should now turn on the gas tank valves beginning with the farthest from the exit door and work his way
forward. Tanks typically will flow for 7-8 minutes either emptying or freezing up. Most bird sound and activity will
be complete by minutes. After 10 minutes all sound from the birds and movement should be gone. After 30
minutes the tanks valves should be turned off and the plastic sheeting unstrapped and removed to one side.
After this is done the house fans should be turned on and the workers return to the outside for 15 minutes as the
house is aired out. After this time activity in the house may be continued.
At this time the covers should be placed on the CO2 tanks and these removed to the outside of the house. The
panels may now be taken down and removed to the outside for initial cleaning and disinfection. The birds may
now be turned over the disposal team for their handling.

Protocol for Euthanasia by Whole House Method.
Annex 4d
June 2011
This method was successfully used to euthanize two broiler breeder farms infected with avian influenza in
Pennsylvania in December of 2001. Each of these breeder farms was a single house farm of 8,000 bird capacity. The
house set up consisted of a central scratch area with raised wooden slats on each side. The houses were curtain sided with
nest boxes setting on the slatted area, aligned parallel to the length of the house.
A series of wood frames with chicken wire were constructed to span the width of the house. These were 8 feet high
and built in 4-5 sections to connect across the width of the house once birds were moved into the area to be euphonized.
The sections over the slatted area were to frame over the egg belts. These wire frames were constructed before hand and
used to section off areas off the house, similar to large migration or sectioning panels.
Frames secure birds to one area of the house
The plan was to move the birds to an area of 20% of the floor area at the far end of the house to be used as the
euthanasia area. Feeder pans and bell drinkers were raised. Nest boxes and egg belts were left in place. At least six
persons are needed to conduct this bird movement rapidly and successfully. The birds should be moved in waves to prevent
birds from sitting down and resisting the driving progress.
Once in the designated area, the frames are secured to confine the birds to the area. Pre-cut 6 mil thickness plastic
is attached to the ceiling by multiple lengths of 2” x ½ “ pine stripping using a power drill and 3” dry wall screws. Plastic is
hung from ceiling down and secured with staples or tacks to the frames across the width of the house. Bottom of plastic is
covered with heavy materials or litter. Four 50 pound bags of shavings were used to fill (drop in) space between slats and
manure level.
Plastic sheeting attached to ceiling and secured to frame
A small CO2 tanker truck (carrying 6,000 lbs. of CO2) was scheduled on sight for the day if necessary. One half
the tanker load (3,000 lbs.) was metered into each house at one half to three fourths the maximum flow rate. Heavy
securing of the delivery nozzle and hose is necessary to prevent a whipping of the nozzle end when flow begins. The nozzle
was placed so the CO2 drops into the scratch area. Once the nozzle was secured the curtains were closed (raised) and CO2
introduced. The CO2 was introduced continuously for 30 minutes. Some minor leakage from the curtain areas was noted but
was insignificant. Bird death occurred in >15 minutes. Most mortality and birds were in the central scratch area. These
houses were instructed to remain closed until the next day. Plans were not to dispose of these the same day. This initial
house took approximated 4 hours to complete from arrival at the farm to completion of the task. The same sequence at the
second house was accomplished in 2 hours.

Protocol for Euthanasia of a Caged Layer House- Cart method
Annex 4e
June 2011
Material needed:
CO2 Carts
Catch crew
CO2 canisters
Biosecurity equipment for crew
Estimated time for 100,000 bird house 3 days by trained crew.
Structure of the table egg industry is such that the birds typically are held in a tiered battery cage
system. The cages are hung or placed in pyramid style over a large manure pit into which the
droppings fall. Cage floors are sloped to allow eggs to roll to the front of the cage and onto an egg belt
which carries the eggs to a central area for washing, sanitizing and grading if this is an in-line
processing farm or taken to a storage area if processing is conducted off site. Aisles of a house
typically are 24 inches wide with 6-8 levels of cages. Typically these houses will house at least 75.000
birds with some now in excess of 200,000 birds. An egg complex may house 2-15 such houses.
The shear numbers of birds provides the difficulty of conducting a depopulation of this magnitude a
sizable challenge. Using and individual cart is the method most commonly used in these houses to
depopulate a house during normal practices. Carts used are typically a rectangular box on wheels
approximately 3’ X 3’ X 2’. This contains an opening on the top and a side opening from which the
euthanized birds are removed or dumped into rendering vehicle. Two types are generally available
one in which the CO2 canister attached and one in which it is not.
Procedures: Crew is assembled to euthanize the birds. A standard crew of 10 trained and experienced
persons with 5 carts can catch and euthanize about 25,000 birds in an 8-10 hour period. Therefore,
working on a day basis, a typical house of 90-100,000 birds will take 3 days to completely empty of
birds. With leghorn type birds there are limited spent fowl plants that will accept this size and type of
fowl. For this reason a large percentage of spent leghorns are euthanized with CO2 and the carcasses
sent to a rendering plant.
With the width of the aisle in these houses and limited workable space it is important to develop an
appropriate cart movement and work flow patterns in the individual house. The width of the aisles
and size of the cart prevents movement of workers freely passing past the carts. Typically 1-2 workers
are able to fill and work with an individual cart. Carts without CO2 container are pre-charged before
moving to aisle to be loaded with birds. Carts are designed to handle approximately 100 birds per load.
As cart is filled it is move to the end of the house and recharged to complete killing process. Cart is
moved to platform and birds dumped into rendering vehicle or truck. Incomplete charging with CO2
will lead to smothering the birds rather than humane euthanasia. Use of the MAK (modified
atmosphere killing) CO2 cart provides for ability to charge the CO2 chamber regularly as it is being
filled with birds. Carts typically are heavy gauge metal with wheels. The slanted bed of chamber
permits birds to slide out once dead and slide out without having to be physically removed.

Foaming, Broilers, Floor reared, using trailer
Annex 4g
June 2011
Assumptions: Standard house is 40’ X 500’ and 5,000 gallons of water needed with this method or
.25 gal/ sq. ft. of floor space with a final foam depth of 24-36 inches. Equipment used is the trailer
mounted pumper with 125 PSI and foaming nozzle delivering 60 PSI from a 1.5 inch hose feeding the
nozzle.
Procedures:
 Select team of 4 persons: 1 foamer; assistant to maneuver hose; pump operator and
additional person to work hose equipment as needed.
 Determine whether house set up would permit applying foam from the outside or inside
delivery is required.
 Determine route of entry into house for hoses and place reservoir appropriately avoiding
walkways and work areas.
 Attach intake suctions to inside of reservoir and intake hoses(coiled 3” hoses) to pump and
begin filling reservoir with needed volume.
 Start engine motor to warm engine to assure functioning of motor and shut off.
 Connect nozzles, splitters and 1 ½ “ hoses to pump outlets.
 Mix class a foam (phos-chek) at 1:100 ratio (1 gallon per 100 gallons) into water reservoir and
mix with paddle.
 Start engine and prime hoses as per instruction sheet.
 Engage nozzle to assure foam production, consistency, hose connections and nozzle function.
Tighten any loose or leaking connections as indicated.
 Open nozzle and begin foaming birds.
 Use a sweeping motion with nozzle and delivered with a high arc. The foam should drop on
the birds rather then sweeping into them from the sides.
 Foam should reach a depth of > 6 inches above bird height. Depth is determined by time foam
is applied to the areas. This size house should be completed in 40-60 minutes.
 If a partial area of the house is foamed, then a barrier or a plastic dam should be placed across
the width of the house to restrict the flow of foam beyond this area.
 Bird activity should be gone in 5-6 minutes after being covered and no bird activity noted
after 7-8 minutes.
 Any residual birds that escaped birds should be placed in the foamed area.
 Apply remaining foam to any areas that are uneven or deficient.
 Turn off engine and begin cleanup process.
 Upon completion of foaming, some ventilation space (open curtains) should be left to aid in
foam dissipation overnight.
 Foam should be dissipated in 8-10 hours and all gone by 12 hours.
 Foamer and assistant should rinse or shower off areas with direct contact with foam as soon
as reasonably possible after leaving the farm.
 Disposal crew should determine time of pick up time of 10-12 hours after foam applied.
 Disposal crew should be aware of potential wet conditions of litter and birds.

Moving Contaminated Birds off Premises
Annex 5d
June 2011
Materials needed:
Extension ladders (5)
6 Mil 40x100 Poly (1 load per truck load)
Utility Knife (2)
Trailers transporting bids must have a tarp
Sawdust or loose manure for bottom of trailer
Transportation of Any Birds off Farm:
This should be avoided if possible. If for any reason birds cannot be composted or
processed on the farm, the following procedures are to take place:
1. Trailer used to carry the birds must have a tarp
2. Double line trailers with 6 Mil poly. One roll of 40x100ft needed for each load
3. Roll is to be cut in 40x50ft length
4. With use of the ladders, the poly is draped over the sides of the trailer and into the bed
of the trailer
5. This should be done twice to be double lined
6. One foot of sawdust or loose manure should be places on the bottom to soak up any
fluids.
7. Once birds are in trailer, the poly should be pulled to cover the birds
8. Then the tarp on the trailer should be pulled to cover everything
9. Use the same sanitation procedure for vehicles leaving the farm
Transportation of Depopulation materials off the farm
1. Trailer used to carry materials must have a tarp
2. Double line trailers with 6 Mil poly
3. With ladders, drape poly over sides of trailer and into the bed
4. This should be done twice to double line
5. Once materials are in trailer, the poly should be pulled to cover the birds
6. hen the tarp on the trailer should be pulled to cover everything
7. Use the same sanitation procedure for all vehicles leaving he farm

LPAI Plan for GA ANNEXES 2011
Annex 6a (1 of 2)
Cleaning and disinfection of premises, conveyances and materials.
June 2011
1) Preparation for cleaning and disinfection. Following depopulation or controlled
marketing the following should be done prior to cleaning and disinfection.
-Secure and remove all feathers from around the outside of house and dispose of.
-Apply insecticides and rodenticides immediately after removal of birds.
-Close house and leave undisturbed for minimum of 21 days.
-Heat house to 100 F for 72 hours.
2) Cleaning and disinfection: All premises, conveyances and materials that came into
contact with poultry that were infected or exposed must be cleaned and disinfected. House
structure, management system and equipment will vary with each farm. Listed below are
items that may need to be addressed to properly clean and sanitize the house in varying
situations.
Water: Lines and reservoirs should be flushed and drained prior to either raising or removing
from house. Bell drinkers should be removed and disassembled for cleaning and removal of
organic materials for proper cleaning and sanitation.
Feeders: Feed remaining in feeder lines, troughs or pans should be removed and placed in
litter to be removed with the litter and floor material.
Nests: Nest material if organic such as shavings or sawdust should be removed from the
nest and placed in the floor and handled as litter. Reusable nest material such as nest pads
should be removed, cleaned and washed prior to disinfecting.
Slats: Slats will need to be removed from the house to clean and to remove manure from the
house floor. Caked and dried manure on the top and underside of the slats should be
removed by scraping or pressure washing before being placed back in the house.
Egg belts: Adherent yolk, egg material and shell debris should be removed prior to
disinfection of this equipment including replacement of egg belts if necessary
Ventilation: Fans, casing, motors, and louvers should be cleaned of feathers, manure, dust
and adhering organic material. Thermostat controls should be cleaned and raised. Cool cell
pads, reservoirs and lines should be cleaned, drained and sanitized.
49
LPAI Plan for GA ANNEXES 2011
Annex 6a (2 of 2)
Lights: Lights bulbs should be replaced or wiped of dust and organic materials. Similarly any
residual equipment in the house which is non removable as scales, feed hoppers, time clocks
should be individually cleaned and sanitized.
Mechanical rooms, egg storage room, walkways and storage areas: Non essential materials,
pharmaceutical, excess equipment and general debris should be removed to allow proper
washing and disinfection of all areas.
Exterior of house: A perimeter of 10 feet around the exterior of the house free of uncut grass,
materials and obstructions is necessary. Areas of rodent entrances or penetration should be
sealed at this time. Roof areas and eaves with holes or nesting areas for wild birds should be
addressed at this time.
Disposal of manure, debris and feed:
All obstructive equipment such a feeders, waterers, slats, brooders, nest boxes or egg belts
need to either raised or removed to permit the manure, litter, feed and debris to either be
composted in the house or to be removed from the house and be disposed of by an approved
method such as composting outside, burial, piling under cover or other approved method.
Equipment and vehicles used to clean houses must be cleaned and disinfected prior to
leaving farm.
Washing step: The interior of the house should be washed down using a high pressure spray
washer and with detergent. Curtains should be exposed to permit the cleaning and removal
of adherent feathers, dust and organic material from these. Inspect the houses to ensure
adequate cleaning of all areas. Adequate time should be permitted for houses to dry prior to
disinfection application.
Disinfection Step: After drying from the washing step all interior surfaces of the house should
be saturated with and authorized disinfectant
(http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/avian_flu_products.htm ) Main doors should not
remain open with out proper screening to prevent entry of wild birds.
3) Activities after cleaning and disinfection.
Premises should be checked for virus before repopulation according to ISRCP.
4) Destruction and disposal of materials: For materials for which the cost of C/D would
exceed value of C/D or impractical, the destruction and disposal must be in accordance with
the ISRCP.
