“…Therefore, attempts should be made to limit the number of stress factors and minimize their negative consequences during pre-slaughter handling. The effectiveness of pharmacological agents, herbal preparations, mineral and vitamin supplements in reducing pre-slaughter stress has been investigated in various animal species by many authors (e.g., Ali and Al-Qarawi, 2002;Ali et al, 2006), but very few studies were conducted on lambs. Some agents, such as anti-depressants, may not be used in farm animals to alleviate pre-slaughter stress due to food safety concerns (Ali and Al-Qarawi, 2002;Ali et al, 2006).…”

“…Hence, studies have been conducted for years on the alleviation of stress effects in various animal species. They concerned the use of pharmacological agents, vitamins, minerals, herbs or multi-component preparations (Wójcik et al 2001;Ali and Al-Qarawi 2002;Ali et al 2006). This direction of research is especially important in the case of slaughter animals, as procedures of pre-slaughter handling that will always be sources of stress practically cannot be eliminated.…”

“…This direction of research is especially important in the case of slaughter animals, as procedures of pre-slaughter handling that will always be sources of stress practically cannot be eliminated. Considering the safety of food of animal origin, not all agents (especially anti-depressive drugs) may be used in practice (Ali and Al-Qarawi 2002;Ali et al 2006).…”

Effect of diet supplementation with the addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae upon stress response in slaughter lambs

The study included 2 groups of lambs (GL): control (C) and experimental (E) which since day 11 of life was receiving an addition of dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae preparation. At the age of 100 days, 12 lambs from each group were weaned from mothers for 12-h pre-slaughter fasting, and transported to a slaughter house. Blood was sampled for analyses: before weaning from mothers (BST 1), before and after transport (BST 2 and 3). Blood samples were assayed for: values of neutrophils and lymphocytes, N:L (neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio), cortisol and glucose. After 24-h chilling of lamb carcasses, musculus longissimus dorsi was subjected to measurements of final acidity (pH 24 ) and colour (CIE Lab), and muscle samples were collected for evaluation of water absorption and shear force. The GL and BST had a significant effect on the N:L ratio. No significant differences were found in the cortisol concentration between groups of lambs. This indicator was significantly different in the analyzed blood sampling time (P < 0.01). In the entire period of pre-slaughter handling, in group C cortisol concentration increased × 8.5, whereas in group E it increased × 4.3 compared to the baseline value. In both groups, the study showed an increase (P < 0.01) in glucose concentration in BST 3 compared to BST 1 and BST 2. Meat of lambs from group E was characterized by lower (P < 0.05) values of pH 24 , WHC, SF, and indicator a*. The obtained results suggest the advisability of applying a preparation of dried brewer's yeast in rearing slaughter lambs in order to strengthen their immunity and to alleviate effects of pre-slaughter stress. , yeast, pre-slaughter handling, blood indicators, meat quality Sheep

“…As such, it is necessary to establish a method that can minimize or prevent preslaughter stress, especially transportation stress. Several studies have focused on the use of drugs to mitigate or avoid stress in domestic or laboratory animals (Ali & Al‐Qarawi, ). However, due to the high risk of residual drug effects in the meat, the administration of such drugs is restricted, so it is critical to identify new ways to appease animals during and after transport.…”

This study was designed to reveal the role of posttransportation grazing on the physiological condition and meat quality traits of Black Bengal goats. Twenty-four castrated male Black Bengal goats were divided into a control (untransported) group and three treated groups: Walking and Transportation with Human Interference group (WTHI) (30 min walking before 6 hr transport and then 30 min walking with human interference), posttransportation grazing for 48 hr (PTG1), and posttransportation grazing for 72 hr (PTG2). The WTHI and PTG1 groups had a significant reduction in their blood concentrations of tri-iodothyronine (T 3 ) and thyroxine (T 4 ), and a significantly higher neutrophil and lymphocyte (N:L) ratio compared with those of the control group. Blood concentrations of T 3 and T 4 and the N:L ratio of PTG2 returned to the control level after 72 hr of grazing. The final pH and water-holding capacity values of meat were significantly higher in the WTHI group than in the control group, but those in the PTG2 group returned to the control level after 72 hr of grazing. These results demonstrate that posttransportation grazing for 72 hr is effective for recovering from damage induced by transportation stress.
