Effects of the travel distance on transport-related mortality in calves
Original language description
The transport-related mortality, which comprises the number of animals that die during transport to a slaughterhouse or shortly after being delivered to a slaughterhouse, is a crucial indicator of animal welfare during transport. The aim of this study was to determine the mortality rate in calves resulting from transport to slaughter in the Czech Republic in the period from 2009 to 2014, and to investigate the effect of travel distance. The total mortality rate of transported calves amounted to 0.296% during the monitored period. The travel distance was proved to have a significant impact on the mortality rate among transported calves. The highest mortality rate (0.480%) was recorded for transport distances of 51?100 km, contrarily, the lowest mortality rate (0.000%) was observed for transport distances over 200 km.
