More than meets the eye: Using pig carcasses to assess on-farm animal welfare

The evaluation of animal welfare indicators on swine carcasses could offer a cost-effective method for the routine evaluation of swine welfare for farms supplying pigs to abattoirs. This project evaluates whether measuring animal-based indicators of welfare on swine carcasses can accurately inform about the welfare of swine on-farm and during pre-slaughter handling, and the relationship between welfare indicators, and economic loss.
