Performance of imported sheep to Kuwait under simulated procedures to transportation prior to slaughtering [electronic resource].

Includes references.

More than three hundred imported Australian sheep were used to determine the ability to categorize and differentiate stressed from a lesser stressed animals that transported all the way from Australian ports to Kuwait. Accuracy of differentiating the two groups went up to 90%. Such accuracy encouraged the team members to proceed with the second phase dealing with the initiation of the Stress Score System. This will help the decision maker to give the right grouping decisions for weather animals should go to slaughtering, meat factory, live sales or for housing in the farm.
