“…For example, the study by Franchi et al (2012a) in Piracicaba (state of São Paulo) it was found that more than 90% of consumers stated that they were aware that production animals expressed feelings, although high perception on the subject, only 36.9% of consumers take this into account when purchasing the product. However, there has been a steady increase in this value, due to access to information about the way animals are raised.…”

Animal welfare is conditional on well-planned and well-managed exploitation, since the management of the animals strongly influences their behavior, their productivity and, consequently, the yield and quality of the final product. In this study, an investigative review was carried out of the literature, governmental databases and main institutions relating to animal welfare, seeking to highlight and discuss differences in legislation between Brazil and Portugal, in view of the interest and concern of the scientific community and the consumer market in relation to methods used for animal production. In Brazil, there is no specific legislation on the welfare of pigs and other related legislation is used as a basis. However, Portugal has more specific legislation on the subject. Considering the dissemination of knowledge and the growing concern with animal welfare in the European consumer market, it is noted that the need for its application standards that ensure animal welfare in production/breeding, possibly becoming a basic requirement in the coming years. However, Brazilian pig farms, like all other animal production activities, are still lacking specific legislation that is appropriate for Brazil, which ends up delaying the effective practice of welfare in productions, abstaining from the population of information about the activity. New studies are needed to ascertain the necessity and applicability of the legislation, and whether the legislation is effective in improving animal welfare or serves only to increase bureaucracy.

O trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a reatividade e aferir a eficiência de insensibilização em bovinos antes e após o treinamento de funcionários em abatedouro frigorífico. Foi observado o manejo no corredor, chuveiro e brete, sendo analisado: vocalização, escorregão, queda, uso de choque e presença de animal deitado. Foram quantificados os disparos necessários para que houvesse o atordoamento de cada animal e mensuração da distância compreendida entre o ponto do disparo efetuado e o local ideal para insensibilização. Através do mapeamento das principais deficiências e falhas de manejo em cada região, foi elaborado uma palestra com foco na adoção de manejos e práticas ideais no pré-abate. Após a palestra informativa, efetuou-se novamente a coleta de dados. Após o treinamento a quantificação de todas as variáveis de manejo foi consideravelmente inferior nas três regiões do percurso pré-abate, e houve redução nas regiões chuveiro e brete (P<0,05). Além disso, houve aumento na insensibilização efetuada no ponto ideal à até 2 cm da mesma (P<0,001), bem como redução de disparos efetuados acima de 3 cm de distância (P<0,001). A quantidade de disparos necessários para completo atordoamento também apresentou redução (P<0,005). O treinamento aos funcionários foi extremamente eficiente na redução de variáveis prejudicais ao bem-estar animal e no incremento de boas práticas no manejo pré-abate. Palavras -chavebem-estar animal, concussão cerebral, dardo cativo penetrante, pré-abate.
