Factors influencing bruises and mortality of broilers during catching, transport, and lairage

Abstract: A multilevel analysis was performed to identify and quantify risk factors associated with mortality and bruises occurring between catching and slaughter of broiler flocks. The effect of each factor in the final model was expressed as an odds ratio (OR). Data included 1,907 Dutch and German broiler flocks slaughtered in 2000 and 2001 at a Dutch processing plant. The mean dead on arrival (DOA) percentage was 0.46. Percentage of bruises was corrected for economic value. The mean corrected bruises percentage was 2… Show more

“…The temperatures recorded varied less than those reported in other studies (Nijdam et al, 2004). Consequently, the temperature and seasonal effects might have been less marked than suggested elsewhere (Petracci et al, 2006;Vecerek et al, 2006).…”

“…Space was considered ', the recommendations' when the ratio was , 100%, ' > the recommendations' when the ratio was > 100%. Mortality during broiler transport in the United Kingdom (Haslam et al, 2008), and 0.25% in the Czech Republic (Vecerek et al, 2006), but less than the 0.35% reported in Italy (Petracci et al, 2006), 0.38% in Manitoba and 0.46% in the Netherlands (Nijdam et al, 2004). The differences in DoA rates observed between countries may be partly attributed to weather differences.…”
