Top-Loading Cages Improve Animal Welfare
The cages are off-loaded in the production area where they are conveyed through a CO2 tunnel. After the cage exits the tunnel, the stunned birds slide onto the shackling conveyor. The cage is then washed and returned to the truck.
The success enjoyed by Humane-Aire operators is due in no small part to retooling the entire harvest, transportation, and ingress workflow. Most importantly, birds remain in the same cage from farm to shackle. The multi-chamber sequence results in an irreversible stun; birds do not regain consciousness.
This preferred system is engineered to meet your specific production requirements, including volume, configuration, and material handling. From farm-to-shackling, the Bright Coop Humane-Aire system is a highly effective and efficient solution to producing high-quality protein for the world’s growing markets.

1
LESS CHAOTIC PROCESSING
Eliminating fluttering and stressed bird handling translates to minimal dust, feathers, dirt, excrement, noise, and debris.
2
REDUCED MANPOWER
Humane-Aire requires less manpower at each stage – collection, offloading, stunning and shackling. There are fewer variables
than traditional electrical shock systems; less disruption and more predictable results.
3
MAINTAINS CONSTANT CYCLE SPEED
Controlled cycle time assures consistent picking of a relaxed bird, optimizing your live bird investment and optimizing processing flow.
4
RECYCLE CO2 FOR LOWER COSTS
Greater effectiveness in stunning, through specially designed tunnel, which results in efficient use of recycled CO2.
EFFECTIVELY STUNS ALL BIRDS, INCLUDING RUNTS.
