Animal welfare incidents during and after transport to Australian export slaughterhouses: An evaluation of government reports (2020–2021)

Incident reports identified that there were significant welfare problems with farmed animals arriving at meat export slaughterhouses, especially in pigs. Lengthy delays to detection were also identified. Reducing this time to detection would improve welfare, as would ensuring slaughterhouses have a system to monitor all animals at all times.

Abstract

Incident reports identified that there were significant welfare problems with farmed animals arriving at meat export slaughterhouses, especially in pigs. Lengthy delays to detection were also identified. Reducing this time to detection would improve welfare, as would ensuring slaughterhouses have a system to monitor all animals at all times.
