This course provides an overview of the swine and equids chapters of the AVMA Guidelines for the Depopulation of Animals (2026 edition), with an emphasis on humane, evidence-based decision-making during emergency depopulation events. Participants are first introduced to the tiered classification system used to evaluate method appropriateness, followed by species-specific guidance. In addition to reviewing depopulation methods, highlights include key planning considerations such as biosecurity, regulatory compliance, and human safety.
