With previous outbreaks of HPAI in 2015 and 2022, quickly and efficiently depopulating flocks was crucial to preventing the spread. However, preferred methods (foam, containerizing gassing, and mechanical) are not always an option when quick action is required. This recent study from The Journal of Applied Poultry Research suggests using steam to accompany ventilation shutdown as an alternative, yet effective, method for depopulation.
