Containerised Gassing Units (CGUs)
Humane, scalable and compliant on-farm culling solutions.
Livetec’s Containerised Gassing Units (CGUs) are designed to humanely stun and kill batches of poultry by exposure to a carbon dioxide or argon gas mixture as permitted by legislation.
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.
Manual 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.

Our standard range of CGU’s
Any of our CGUs can be upgraded to automated units by the addition of the PLC controlled LSAU20.
Mounted on the side of the unit, the system automatically controls the flow of gas and records all data during the process, making them user-friendly and easy to operate. The operator is only required to start and confirm the end of each cycle, additionally safeguarding their own wellbeing.
The control system has audio and visual alarms in addition to a fail-safe emergency stop function to ensure minimum livestock stress.
Birds are removed from their housing and placed in ventilated transport modules or crates, these are then placed into the chamber. The unit will then fill with a gas mixture that is released into the chamber, flushing out oxygen.
