Pre-slaughter aspects of beef eating quality - October 1999

چکیده
Losses of both product quality and quantity during the critical pre-slaughter period are inevitable. These losses are the result of social, physical, environmental and nutritional stresses imposed on the animal between the farm/ feedlot and the abattoir knocking box.
