The point of balance is usually at the animal's _______

Leading to DFD (dark, firm and dry meat) beef and  PSE (pale, soft, and exudative)  in pork

The combination of high lactic acid level and high temperature leads to denaturation of muscle leads to produce this kind of meat

This occurs due to short-term excitement and agitation of the animals prior to slaughter

Meat that has lower pH

Caused by chronic (or long term) stress to the animal

Glycogen levels are depleted prior to death, meaning that less glycogen is converted to lactic acid after slaughter and the ultimate pH of the meat remains high

A meat that has higher pH

Occurs when animals go down due to slippery floors or overcrowding

Occurs mostly in pigs when overfed prior to transportation

It occurs when the body can no longer control its temperature: the body's temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down.

Animals subject to long distance travel without proper watering will not suffer weight loss and may die

Moving cattle on the hoof is also known as?

Of the food animals these are the easiest to transport and generally travel well on hoof, rail or road

Difficult animals to transport, and the only satisfactory method is by road, although rail can be used under careful circumstances.

Transport vehicles should be totally enclosed

Pigs are particularly adaptable to excessive heat, poor air circulation, high humidity and respiratory stress.

Non-slip floors in all vehicles are necessary to reduce the risk of animals falling.

Pigs should not be fed before transport as the feed ferments and the gas causes pressure on the heart in the thoracic cavity, leading to heart failure and death.
