A total of 2,145 pigs were transported for 8 h in summer (six trips) and winter
(five trips) using a pot-belly trailer accommodating pigs in four locations
(upper deck or UD, bottom-nose or BN, middle deck or MD and bottom deck or BD).
Heart rate of pigs during loading and transportation and lactate and creatine
kinase (CK) concentrations in exsanguination blood were measured. Meat quality
was evaluated in the Longissimus thoracis (LT), Semimembranosus (SM) and Adductor
(AD) muscles. During summer, pigs loaded in the UD and MD had higher (P < 0.05)
heart rate at loading compared to those located in the BD and BN. Blood lactate
and CK concentrations were higher (P < 0.001) in winter than in summer. Lactate
concentration was higher (P = 0.01) in the blood of pigs transported in the BN.
Pigs transported in the BN had higher pHu values in the LT, SM and AD muscles (P
= 0.02, P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively) and lower (P = 0.002) drip loss
values in the SM muscle. This study confirms that some locations within the PB
trailer have a negative impact on the welfare of pigs at loading and during
transport with more pronounced effects in the winter due to the additive effect
of cold stress.
