THE ROLE OF ANIMAL WELFARE ON MEAT QUALITY

Aliodor Suciu, Diana Marin, Cornelia Petroman

Abstract


Mixing livestock and poultry kept separately in batches of similar weights and ages increases stress, engages them in fighting on arrival at processing facilities, exhausts them because of long-distance transport, rough handling, deprivation of water or feed. All this has effects on animal welfare with harmful effects on the quality of carcasses and meat obtained during processing in abattoirs. The requirements regarding high-quality carcasses and meat should be improved to meet quality indices through handling, housing, immobilizing, stunning, and bleeding while observing the rules imposed for animal welfare.
