Research on pre-slaughter stress and meat quality: A review of challenges faced under practical conditions
________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Transportation and handling of animals are important components in meat production systems. Animals destined for slaughter are stressed by factors such as loading, transportation, restraint, handling, and novelty of the slaughter environment, adverse weather conditions, hunger, thirst and fatigue. When an ...
متن کاملEffects of finishing diet and pre-slaughter fasting time on meat quality in crossbred pigs
The effects of the carbohydrate composition of finishing diet (fed from 80 to 107 kg of body weight) and the length of pre-slaughter fasting on pork quality were studied in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with 80 crossbred pigs. The control finishing diet was based on barley and soybean meal, and the fibrous finishing diet was based on barley, barley fibre, faba beans, and rapeseed cake. These die...
متن کاملEffects of Pre-slaughter Management on Carcass Weight and Meat Quality
Fasting pigs before slaughter has many advantages such as feed saving (2-3 kganimal), and increased food safety by reducing the risk of viscera rupture and pathogen contamination of carcasses during the evisceration process (Miller et al., 1997). Other potential advantages are an improvement in meat quality (Tarrant, 1989). Indeed, some studies have shown that fasting before slaughter improves ...
متن کاملMeat Science and Muscle Biology Symposium: Impact of Pre- and Post-Slaughter Handling on Meat Quality
Market weight pigs are subjected to numerous stressors during the marketing process from loading at the farm to stunning at the packing plant. These stressors have important implications for animal well-being and fresh pork quality traits. The objectives of this presentation are to review: 1) pre-harvest stressors in pigs; 2) common measures of stress during handling and transportation; and 3) ...
متن کاملMicrobiological quality of broiler carcasses during slaughter processing
Microbial contamination of poultry carcasses can be influenced by many factors during transport and slaughtering. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of four processing steps (plucking, evisceration, washing and chilling) on the total viable counts (TVC), counts of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Listeria spp. incidence on broiler carcasses. A total of 160 broiler carcasses o...
