And apparently in the EU the chicks have to be anesthesized before being sent to the grinder.
Do you know how that is done? The chicks are used as a source of protein, so I'm curious as to how they are anesthetized without making the result feed unusable.
Couldn't find the methods used in practice. But presumably it's electrocution or CO/CO2 poisoning (see the allowed methods in https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A...) or I might have been wrong and shreddering may indeed be used on its own, but can't be bothered to research further.
