Alternatives to Carbon Dioxide in Two Phases for the Improvement of Broiler Chickens' Welfare during Stunning

This study evaluated the exposure to gas mixtures of carbon dioxide (CO ) associated with nitrogen (N ) as alternatives to CO in two phases to improve the welfare of broiler chickens at slaughter. Broilers were exposed to one of three treatments: 40C90C (1st phase: 90% CO and
