For improved animal welfare, sustainability, and profitability it is important that everyone involved in the transportation process takes responsibility for doing a good job. This may require legislation and assurance schemes backed up by inspections and driven by consumer awareness and demand. All aspects of the transportation process, including preparation for transport, handling during loading and unloading, handler and driver training, stocking density on the transport container, journey length, and weather have an effect on animal welfare, meat quality, health after transport, and even mortality during transit. These topics are covered in the papers and reviews in this book together with related aspects such as consumer perceptions of animal transport, cleaning of transport coops, and consideration of on-farm slaughter to obviate the need for transport to an abattoir. The book adds to the knowledge of farm animal transport and highlights areas for future research and improved practice. 606 $aAnimals & society$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aanimal welfare 610 $aApulo-Calabrese 610 $aat risk cattle 610 $aAustralia 610 $abedding 610 $abeef calves 610 $abehaviour 610 $abiosecurity 610 $ablood parameters 610 $aboarding 610 $abovine respiratory disease 610 $abroiler 610 $abroiler transport 610 $acarcass bruises 610 $acatching 610 $acattle 610 $acattle transport 610 $acleaning and disinfection 610 $aconsumer perception 610 $acontrol post 610 $acorticosterone metabolite 610 $aeconomic efficiency 610 $aenvironment 610 $aextensive production system 610 $afasting 610 $afood safety 610 $ahealth 610 $aheat stress 610 $alameness 610 $alive export 610 $alivestock 610 $alocal breed 610 $amarketing 610 $ameat quality 610 $amisting 610 $aMobile Poultry Processing Unit 610 $amortality 610 $apastured poultry production 610 $aphysiology 610 $apigs 610 $apoultry 610 $apre-slaughter chain 610 $apullet 610 $aQBA 610 $aqualitative behavioural assessment 610 $aroad transport 610 $asea transport 610 $asheep 610 $ashort distance 610 $astress 610 $astress parameter 610 $aswine 610 $atemperature 610 $athermal micro-environment 610 $aTHI 610 $atransport 610 $atransport quality 610 $atransportation coops 610 $atrucks 610 $aventilation 610 $awelfare 610 $awing fractures 615 7$aAnimals & society 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aWeeks$b Claire A$4edt$01326444 702 $aWeeks$b Claire A$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557317803321 996 $aFarm Animal Transport$93037439 997 $aUNINA
