SLOW INDUCTION ANESTHESIA (SIA)

Getting it right... like no other facility in the world

• Chickens are rendered unconscious, slowly in the safety of the SIA drawers that are used to transport them from the farm.
• Birds enter SIA tunnel in their drawers
  • The tunnel provides the birds with the benefit of slow induction anesthesia no water bath stunning.
  • SIA process lasts 6-7 minutes; birds get drowsy and fall asleep
  • While still asleep, the birds are placed in line for processing... without stress, pain, fear or suffering
  • Our birds are never suffocated
  • Stressful events associated with processing are eliminated

CHICKENS ARE CAUGHT QUIETLY, METHODICALLY

• Gently placed in drawers, that are an integral part of Bell & Evans’ Slow Induction Anesthesia (SIA) process
• Safely secured before drawers are closed
• Humane live transport - never dumped
