THE INFLUENCE OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ON ANIMAL LOSSES DURING TRANSPORT AND THE QUALITY OF MEAT OBTAINED FROM SWINE

Aliodor Suciu, Loredana Văduva, Cornelia Petroman

Abstract


The transformation of swine into meat by processing involves a series of events, including their handling and boarding at the farm, transport to processing facilities, transport conditions and control of microclimate factors, unloading and resting in boxes prior to antemortem action and the slaughter process. During these procedures, improper techniques and operational facilities, failure to control the ambient temperature, can lead to high losses in terms of quality. The environmental temperature, the lack of welfare during the arrival of swine at the slaughterhouse has effects on animal losses and the quality of the meat obtained by slaughtering them. Animal transport is undoubtedly the most stressful and damaging stage on the way from the farm to the slaughterhouse and contributes significant to a low level of animal welfare and production losses To avoid heat stress during the transport of swine to the slaughterhouse, managerial measures are proposed to avoid the undesirable effects of temperature on the animals in the different stages of the road from the farm to the slaughterhouse: at pre-loading, during transport and upon arrival at the processing facility.
