摘要: Objective To establish the death rate and causes of in cattle exported by sea from Australia. Procedure Cattle deaths on voyages Australia to all destinations between 1995 2000 were analysed retrospectively. On four Middle East December 1998 April 2001, that died examined determine cause death. Results The was 0.24% among 4 million exported, a greater proportion occurred (0.52%, P < 0.05) than south east Asia (0.13%). risk three times for southern ports compared northern ports. main heat stroke, trauma respiratory disease. Conclusion have low during transport Australia. can be reduced preferentially exporting ports, selecting those with higher Bos indicus content whenever possible.
