A multilevel logistic regression model was used to identify and quantify the effects of factors affecting mortality pigs being transported slaughter under commercial conditions. survey 739 journeys 37 slaughterhouses in five eu countries carried out, information potentially related welfare number injuries were recorded. The average temperature during journey, its duration, loading time per pig, recorded injuries, fasting before transport, interaction between journey duration final model....
To determine the influence of slaughter transports carried out under commercial conditions, 162 pigs weighing 98 kg and both sexes were studied. A total seven performed in summer winter with durations 1 h 13 15 min within each season. Cortisol, glucose, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin protein serum concentrations measured. All variables increased during transport decreased lairage (P < 0.001), cortisol values being 3.47 ± 0.19, 8.52 0.28, 6.96 0.18 µg/dl at...
Factors affecting the number of weaned piglets found dead after commercial transport between farms were studied by means multilevel Poisson regression. Information relating to 58,682 during 109 journeys in different EU countries was collected at end each journey questionnaires. Overall, 0.07 per cent all transported on arrival, and deaths recorded 13.8 journeys. The final regression model, which calculated using complete records from 105 journeys, included total duration journey, mean...
A total of 351 Iberian pigs with equal numbers both sexes from 2 commercial farms were used to study the ability various identification devices guarantee traceability required for labeled meat products reared under extensive production conditions in Spain. The performance tattoos, visual ear tags, electronic and i.p.-injected transponders half duplex full technologies compared during a cycle nursery slaughter at 15 mo age (156 +/- 3 kg BW). No major health reactions any methods detected....
To know in the logistics of pig transports Spain 566 journeys, concerning 34 slaughterhouses and 13 traders, were surveyed by means questionnaires collecting information relative to 119 transport aspects. Trucks loaded pigs 1,5 farms on average, loading an average 160 slaughter or 493 piglets transported growing farms, with stocking density 214.4 103.8 kg/m2 respectively. Pigs fasted previous journey 14.5 hours 79.2% which lasted 3.4 less than half duration farm (7.3 hours, p<0.001). In 39%...

The effects procedure identified; a decrease motility and acrosome quality was found after thawing. best results on linked with volume less than 100 ml sperm‐rich fraction, concentration lower 450 × 10 6 spermatozoa/ml an agglutination score below 2. However, normal apical ridge (NAR) when fraction greater 150 ml. For this reason, intermediate NAR,...
To obtain a thorough description of how are cattle transported in Spain with respect to the journey destination survey was performed 2004 and 2005. Information obtained by means 119-parameters questionnaire, 44 transport operators representative sector (27 slaughterhouses, 10 traders, 7 markets) were interviewed. Over 80% journeys growing-finishing/finished animals, about 3% both reproductive animals. With farm transports, slaughter transports loaded fewer farms (1.2 vs. 1.4 farms; p<0.05)...
