1. 1. On-farm slaughter and emergency slaughter in Sweden : prerequisites for reducing food loss of pigs and cattle

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Författare :Rasmus Björn; Albin Kauppi; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Animal welfare; Cattle; Mortality; On-farm slaughter; On-farm emergency slaughter; Pigs;

   Sammanfattning : Although consumers are responsible for much food waste, recent studies have shown significant losses on farm-level. A recent report published by the Swedish Board of Agriculture presented that 3% and 8% of pigs and cattle are lost respectively, requesting further research regarding the potential in salvaging meat through on-farm slaughter (OFS) and on-farm emergency slaughter (OFES).

3. 2. The impact of production system on animal welfare of cattle prior to slaughter : from loading on-farm to stunning at the slaughterhouse

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Författare :Elin Johansson; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Animal Behaviour; Human-animal interaction; Protocol; Direct observations; Loading; Transport; Unloading; Driving race; Conventional; KRAV-certified;

   Sammanfattning : The slaughter process, from loading the animals on the transport on-farm until stunning at the slaughterhouse, makes our production animals exposed to stressful situations and unknown environments. Animal welfare prior to slaughter has been questioned for several years and science behind how animal welfare is affected is lacking. LÄS MER

4. 3. How does different production systems affect the welfare status of pigs from farm to abattoir? : developing and evaluating animal welfare protocols

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Författare :Julia Carlsson; [2022]
   Nyckelord :behaviour; direct observation; human-animal interaction; loading; unloading; lairage; driving race; slaughter;

   Sammanfattning : The welfare of livestock animals is of great importance among Swedish citizens and has economical importance for the profitability of the pig production. On the day of slaughter, pigs are exposed to new environments and interactions that may compromise their welfare. There are different pig production systems in Sweden e.g. LÄS MER

5. 4. Factors affecting presence of feed in crops of broilers at slaughter : with focus on a hygienic slaughter

   Nyckelord :Crop; Broiler; Feed Withdrawal; Bacteria; Enterobacteriaceae;

   Sammanfattning : Food security and sustainable consumption and production are parts of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 12. Filled broiler crops at slaughter poses a risk to contaminate carcasses with gastrointestinal contents. LÄS MER

7. 5. Effects of stockperson attitudes and handling on finishing pig behaviour and mental state

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Författare :Martina Lundin; [2019]
   Nyckelord :animal handling; stockperson attitude; fear response; mental state; human-animal interaction; finishing pigs; qualitative behaviour assessment and fear assessment;

   Sammanfattning : This study is part of an ongoing project, PigTraWel (2019) which aims to investigate interactions between animal transporters and slaughter pigs during loading and unloading by mapping different driving methods, their effects on pigs and transporters and the efficiency of the work. Pigs are exposed to a number of environmental stressors prior to slaughter that can affect pig behaviour and welfare, the working situation of stockpeople involved and cause meat quality problems.
