摘要: The final phase in pork production is the transport of finisher pigs to slaughterhouse. Fasting one parameters that influence stress coping ability during and lairage. When implemented correctly with attention local factors, pre-slaughter fasting can improve animal welfare, pathogen risk carcass hygiene. length feed withdrawal time important success practice. In practice, a before slaughter between 12 18 h enhances safety, quality, welfare. This means communication producer slaughterhouse essential when planning lairage times avoid technological quality problems (such as pale, soft, exudative (PSE) meat or dark, firm dry (DFD) meat).
