However, in the past, detailed methods for euthanizing livestock to be killed have not been presented, so most of the livestock for killing livestock are buried alive by creating landfills in areas where foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza occur. There is an urgent need to prepare measures that can be made.

For this reason, in recent years, it is widely known to kill livestock that are being killed using euthanasia gases such as argon (Ar), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) and nitrogen (N _{2) in order to euthanize them without pain.} .
