Aspirated water-based foam (WBF) has been shown to be successful in depopulating poultry and swine but has yet to be tested in cattle. WBF is advantageous because necessary equipment can be readily available, easy to use, and presents minimal personnel risk. With the use of a modified rendering trailer in a field setting, we evaluated the efficacy of aspirated WBF for depopulation of adult cattle. Water-based medium-expansion foam was added to the trailer holding cattle to a depth of approximately 50 cm greater than head height. The study was conducted as a gated design and the initial trial was conducted using six anesthetized and six conscious animals for verification of the process and followed by four replicates each containing 18 conscious cattle. A total of 84 cattle were used, with a subset (n\u2005=\u200552) implanted with subcutaneous bio-loggers that recorded activity and electrocardiograms. Cattle were loaded onto the trailer and three gasoline-powered water pumps delivered foam into the trailer followed by a 15-min foam dwell period. Average (\u00b1 SD) time to completely fill the trailer with foam was 84.8\u2005\u00b1\u200511.0 s. No animal vocalizations were heard during foam application or the dwell period, and all cattle were confirmed dead upon removal from the trailer after 15 min of immersion. Necropsies of a subset of cattle revealed foam extending to at least the tracheal bifurcation in all cattle and distal to this level in 67% (8\/12) animals. Time to cessation of movement, which served as a proxy for loss of consciousness, was 2.5\u2005\u00b1\u20051.3 min and time to cardiac death was 8.5\u2005\u00b1\u20052.5 min as determined by data from animals carrying subcutaneous bio-loggers. The results of this study indicate that WBF is a rapid and effective method for depopulation of adult cattle with potential advantages in speed and carcass handling and disposal over current methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txad065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,28]],"date-time":"2023-06-28T21:54:06Z","timestamp":1687989246000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Water-based medium-expansion foam depopulation of adult cattle"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3500-1487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vittoria M","family":"Capria","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9ia G","family":"Arruda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ting-Yu","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Magnus R","family":"Campler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brad L","family":"Youngblood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steven J","family":"Moeller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew S","family":"Bowman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justin D","family":"Kieffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, The Ohio State University , Columbus, OH 43210 , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023082810291452200_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2161","DOI":"10.3390\/ani10112161","article-title":"A systematic literature review on depopulation methods for swine","volume":"10","author":"Arruda","year":"2020","journal-title":"Animals"},{"issue":"5","key":"2023082810291452200_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2719","DOI":"10.1111\/tbed.14622","article-title":"Reliability of water-based medium-expansion foam as a depopulation method for nursery pigs and cull sows","volume":"69","author":"Arruda","year":"2022","journal-title":"Transbound.
