Abstract
ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of pre-slaughter handling on the characteristics of bruises and identify the risk factors. A cross sectional-study was conducted on 2081 Zebu cattle in two commercial slaughter plants. Transport conditions, lairage, severity, extend, and location of the bruises was evaluated. The prevalence of bruising was 61%, finding significant differences in the prevalence in both slaughter plants (A = 37.5%; B = 91.9%; P<0.05). The bruises in ischial tuberosity (Tuber isquiadicum), hip bone (Tuber coxae) and the loin (Longissimus dorsi) were the most frequently observed (21.3%, 27% and 16.6%, respectively). The multivariate logistic regression model showed that slaughterhouse and sex of cattle were associated with the presence of bruising (P<0.01). The stocking density between 350 and 400 kg showed an inverse association with the presence of bruises (P<0.05). The results suggest that the lack of implementation of animal welfare practices at the slaughterhouses increases the risk of bruising on carcasses.
