LAPS has the potential to improve the welfare in pigs at the time of slaughter and following some proof of principle initial work, studies will examine in detail the behavioral and physiological …

Low atmospheric pressure stunning (LAPS) is a slaughter technique which may be less stressful for pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) than current commercial stunning and slaughter methods.

Low Atmospheric Pressure Stunning (LAPS) is a form of stunning (inducing unconsciousness prior to slaughter) which may offer significant welfare improvements over the main commercial …

It was important to test a method which could potentially have provided a humane and sustainable solution for pig stunning. However, now that LAPS has been shown not to be the alternative to …

Low atmospheric pressure stunning (LAPS) is a slaughter technique which may be less stressful for pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) than current commercial stunning and slaughter methods.

Here, we characterize pathological changes in 60 pigs resulting from exposure to a range of candidate decompression curves (ranging from 40 to 100 ms −1 ascent equivalent, with two …

Dorothy McKeegan at the University of Glasgow did a large study on LAPS for pigs. She published a paper titled "LAPS in pigs is not a humane alternative to Carbon Dioxide" in the …
