Who is RASA?
RASA stands for Responsible Stunning with Anoxia. Our core value lies in the humane treatment of animals, especially when ending their lives. Animals can be stunned and killed with little stress by immersion in an oxygen-free environment consisting of pure nitrogen gas packed in a high expansion foam.
The nitrogen foam method
Where animals live, animals die. In animal husbandry, this usually happens in a planned way, when animals are ready for slaughter or have lost their economic value. But it also happens unplanned, due to illness or accidents whereby treatment does not lead to recovery.
Nitrogen foam to be officially approved soon!
The nitrogen foam method has been in development for over 20 years, but has now finally been officially approved.
In January 2026, the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) included high-expansion nitrogen foam as the preferred method for depopulations (culling) of poultry and pigs.
The European Commission will authorise the method for poultry and pigs in Regulation 1099/2009 on the protection of animals at the time of killing, as a humane addition to existing methods.
