Welfare during stunning and slaughter of poultry.
This paper describes research on the electrical stunning of poultry and the problems of achieving an effective humane stun with water bath stunners. The welfare and meat quality advantages of using gas mixtures to stun and kill birds are then described. The evidence strongly suggests that chickens and turkeys can be killed very humanely using either 90% argon in air or a mixture of 30% carbon d...
متن کاملAnimal welfare at markets and during transport and slaughter.
This review highlights some recent developments in our understanding of stress and physical injuries that occur before and during transport to slaughter, during handling at livestock markets, and at the time animals are put-up for slaughter within abattoirs. Stress in pigs during transfer to the stunning point within the abattoir has important effects on meat quality, and there is growing evide...
متن کاملWelfare of ducks in intensive units.
Intensive husbandry of ducks is currently creating problems with regard to the welfare of these birds. The improvement of hygiene conditions and rationalisation of husbandry have created a poor and restrictive environment, leading to the appearance of abnormal behaviour patterns, such as certain types of pecking. Solutions are proposed. Many factors are involved and vast fields remain open for ...
متن کاملLegal requirements and assessment of stress and welfare during transportation and pre-slaughter handling of pigs
Transportation is considered as a major stressor for farm animals and might have deleterious effects on the health, wellbeing, performance and ultimately on product quality. The European Commission has adopted new transportation rules for animal transport, but research on stress related situations before, during and after transport is still scarce. Assessment of stress during animal transportat...
متن کاملThe response of ducks to V4 Newcastle disease virus and its transmission to contact ducks and domestic chickens
Experimental infection of Muscovy ducks with V4 strain of Newcastle disease virus was undertaken to determine the response of the ducks to the virus and the possibility of virus transmission to ducks and chickens in village like conditions. Twelve ducks were randomly and equally divided into three groups of control, inoculated and in-contact. Additionally, the chickens were placed into two grou...
