Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 November 2021
Extract
The current E.U. Directive 95/29/EC allows the transport of sheep to slaughter for 14 h, then 1 h rest and a further 16 h. of travel. During the rest the sheep should have access to food and water. In this study, the welfare of sheep was monitored using physiological and behavioural measures during a journey in a commercial type road vehicle. Measures of body weight and meat quality were also made. The results were compared with those of three other studies.
