Contributing factors (examples)
Novel and challenging environments (transport, handling, high noise levels, mixing/ separation) contribute to stress
High environmental temperature and humidity en route or at destination
Delays in journey time increase risk of disease outbreak, encountering temperature or sea condition extremes, change of diet required.
Rough sea conditions
Inadequate or failure of ventilation (poor air quality contributes to respiratory disease, suffocation, heat stress)
Bedding, hygiene or shelter conditions in feedlots or on ship contribute to heat stress, cold stress, disease transmission
Access to feed and water, or insufficient feed requiring a change in diet contribute to inappetence, lost body condition, dehydration, rumen acidosis or enteritis.
