The reactions of farmed red deer to transport: effects of road type and journey time
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 November 2021
Extract
Both road type and journey time may influence the welfare of animals during road transportation. Animals may face a higher risk of injury on narrow, winding roads (Waran et al., 1993), and increasing the journey time may have deleterious consequences for animal welfare (Mormede et al., 1982), carcass bruising (Yeh et al., 1978), and meat quality (Wythes et al., 1981). In this study, the effects of road type and journey time on the behavioural and physiological responses of farmed red deer were investigated.
