Association between driving actions and animal stress in mobile slaughter of cattle
Hultgren, Jan; Berg, Lotta; Algers, BoAbstract

Aiming to study associations of stress-related animal behaviours and time intervals for driving, stunning and sticking with stockperson driving actions, we made initial observations at a commercial mobile slaughter plant on 11 days at nine Swedish cattle farms.Keywords
