Red Star Poultry > Services > Poultry > Stock Catching & Depopulation
Stock catching and depopulation is a critical stage in poultry production, requiring coordination, timing, and absolute attention to welfare. Our teams operate in live commercial environments where bird behaviour, stocking density, and environmental conditions all play a role in how smoothly the process runs. We understand that this stage directly impacts downstream performance, transport outcomes, and overall flock integrity. That’s why every job is planned in advance with clear communication between farm managers and our catching teams.
Birds are handled calmly and consistently to minimise stress, reduce injury risk, and maintain welfare compliance throughout the entire process.
Our teams are trained to work efficiently without compromising welfare standards. Whether working in broilers, layers, or pullet systems, we adapt handling techniques to suit breed, age, and housing conditions. Full depopulations, partial catches, and selective removal operations are all carried out with the same level of care and control. We also coordinate closely with transport providers to ensure smooth transfer from shed to vehicle. Every operation is completed with a focus on safety, traceability, and minimising disruption to farm workflow.
