Values of blood parameters indicative of stress in cattle during pre-slaughter by pH group
| Parameter | pH<5.8 | pH≥5.8 |
|---|---|---|
| PCV (%) | 36.71±0.73a | 35.28±0.23a |
| NLR | 0.76±0.06a | 0.80±0.02a |
| Glucose (mmol/L) | 6.82±0.34a | 5.64±0.10b |
| Cortisol (ng/mL) | 75.33±6.06a | 63.89±1.93a |
PCV, packed cell volume; NLR, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio.
Least-squares means within a row with different letters differ (p<0.05) between pH values.
