| Sumario: | The aim of this study was to determine the effect of transport of market-weight pigs on the incidence of fatigued and injured pigs. An observational prospective study was performed to evaluate 18 437 pigs (n=350 batches) that were unloaded at three commercial slaughterhouses in Colombia. The mortality rate was 0.0016% and the incidence of fatigued and injured pigs was 0.02%. Transport time, stocking density, slaughterhouse, batch mixing, type of truck, speed and assistant on the journey were associated with nonambulatory pigs incidence. |
