“…By meeting the requirements of the transport conditions, the pig stress burden can be reduced. They are especially the conditions reported for example by Lambooy and Engel (1991), Schutte et al (1994), Fischer (1995), Troeger (1995), Perremans and Geers (1996), Geverink et al (1998), Warriss (1998b), Srinongkote et al (2003), Kozak et al (2004), Kuchenmeister et al (2005), which means especially that the careful and humane treatment of the animals, regular moving and handling, loading and unloading, mixing with unfamiliar conspecifics in the loading space, loading density, ambient temperature, transportation time, careful driving, and feeding pigs before transport. Genetic predisposition also has a significant impact on pre-slaughter pig mortality, as reported by Murray and Johnson (1998), Warriss (1998a), Werner et al (2005).…”

“…They determined that the pigs that had experience leaving their home pen and some of the transport conditions were much easier to handle at loading. Kuchenmeister et al (2005) compared the stress burden of pigs: immobilisation by a nose snare with the use of an electrical goad. The stress effect was the highest in goad pigs.…”

“…However, rest after the exercise may reverse (most of) the effects of exercise on meat quality. Pre-slaughter exercise and time of rest between exercise and slaughter may affect meat quality traits differently (Grandin, 1980;Van der Wal et al, 1999;Støier et al, 2001;Kuchenmeister et al, 2002Kuchenmeister et al, , 2005Schäfer et al, 2002) because the underlying molecular mechanisms differ between traits. In a model study for transportation exercise and stress, pigs were placed on a treadmill for 30 min.…”

“…Lawrie (2006) reported that with higher levels of stress poorer meat quality is eminent, quite apart from being inhumane. Besides stress, genotype, transportation, lairage time, season of the year, environmental conditions and many other factors will affect pork quality (Küchenmeister, 2005).…”
