This collection features five peer-reviewed literature reviews on
ensuring animal welfare during transport and slaughter. The first
chapter examines the impact of transport on beef and dairy cattle,
as well as the effects of transport on carcass quality issues, such
as bruising and dark cutting beef. It details how conditions can be
optimised to ensure the welfare needs of the animal are met during
all stages of transport. The second chapter reviews the legislation
and codes of practice surrounding the transport and slaughter of
cows to be culled as a result of disease or the development of
health conditions such as lameness. The third chapter considers the
effects of transport, handling and slaughter practices on pigs as
well as physiological effects on carcass and meat quality. The
fourth chapter explores current approaches used to stun poultry
before slaughter, including electrical stunning and controlled
atmosphere stunning. The chapter reviews the associated risks and
benefits of each approach to overall bird health and welfare. The
final chapter reviews the main welfare issues associated with
management of sheep once they leave the farm, including transport
by road and sea, use of holding facilities as well as handling and
stunning of sheep at abattoirs.
