Cervical Dislocation

Cervical dislocation can be performed either manually or mechanically and it is one of the methods of on-farm euthanasia in the commercial poultry industry. A cervical dislocation is nothing but that a ligament injury in the neck has occurred, and two of the adjoining spine bones have become abnormally separated from each other, causing instability. In order to kill to be considered humane, pain and distress should be minimized and insensibility should be immediate or rapid, followed by a loss of respiratory function, and cardiac arrest. Cervical dislocation euthanasia must be performed by trained individuals using correct equipment. Due to the anatomy of rat and mouse neonates, cervical dislocation is very difficult to perform adequately, especially when euthanizing mice and rats in their younger stage before hair grows in at 7-10 days. The Cervical fractures and the dislocations are typically classified according to their region. The chances of majority of spinal column and spinal cord injuries occur in males between the ages of 15 and 24 years old.
