The Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) and UFAW symposium returns in 2024 to build on scientific and practical knowledge in the following areas
More humane solutions for mass depopulation of surplus animals (eg day old male chicks) or emergency killing (eg highly contagious diseases, zoonotic diseases, or other emergency purposes);
Humane stunning and killing for aquatic species (including wild-caught fish, crustaceans, cephalopods, experimental animals (eg zebra fish), emergency killing);
Approaches for more humane killing or alternatives to killing for control of ‘pest’ species (eg selective baits, immunocontraception, alternatives to glue traps, and anticoagulants as rodenticides);
Open session (this session can include submissions on any novel developments in humane killing not covered by the other sessions).
