Abstract

The effects of two transport times (30 min and 5 hours) and two stocking densities (0.12 m2/lamb y 0.20 m2/lamb) on blood parameters and meat quality of suckling lambs have been studied. Lambs transported for 30 min showed higher plasma concentration of cortisol and LDH than lambs transported for 5 hours. Stocking density affected plasma concentration of glucose (p<0.05), corresponding the lowest values to animal transported at low density (0.20 m2/lamb). Lambs transported at low density (0.20 m2/lamb) had initial pH higher, due the higher energy expenditure. Cooking losses were higher in long transport in non aged meat, but this result was not observed in aged meat. Colour, water holding capacity and texture were not affected by transport time or stocking density.
