Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes hog handling and transportation practices and their impact on economic losses in the livestock industry. The author conducted a series of tests involving 211 shipments of hogs, observing handling conditions and carcass damage at slaughter. The study found that losses increased with longer hauls, with bruise damage accounting for two-thirds of the total. Condemnations due to injury or disease were more prevalent during extreme weather conditions, with pneumonia a major concern in winter shipments. Adverse weather also increased bruise damage through hazardous handling conditions. The study highlights the importance of proper handling techniques, emphasizing the need for careful loading, unloading, and transportation. The author provides evidence of the economic impact of mishandling, demonstrating the potential savings achievable through improved practices. This book is a valuable resource for the livestock industry, offering insights into the causes of handling and transportation losses and providing guidance on how to reduce them. By addressing this critical issue, the author contributes to the improvement of animal welfare and the efficiency of the meat production chain.
