摘要: Abstract The objective was to investigate the effect of sea transport on physiological, behavioural and performance responses bulls. One-hundred eleven bulls (mean body weight (standard error mean) 429 (5.7 kg)) were randomly assigned one three treatments; control (C; n = 54) housed in 6 pens at Teagasc, Grange Research Centre a stocking density (1), 1.7 m2/head (C1.7; 3 pens) (2), 3.4 (C3.4; (3), transported (T) (n = 57) penned space allowance 1.7 m2/head (6 allocated five decks shipping vessel.
