- Electricution to the head
- Electricution to the head and heart-

- Captive bolt gun- causes concussion and severe trauma of the brain without breaking the skin.
- Blunt Trauma (only for suckling pigs)- a blow to the top of the head
- Gun shot- the gun shot must be to the head
Recommendations
I Recommend using these euthansia methods for swine:
- Electric shock from the head to the heart
- Carbon chambers: It's like they are going to sleep and its very settlte
These are the best two methods.
