A INFLUÊNCIA DO BEM-ESTAR ANIMAL NA PRODUÇÃO DE CARNE BOVINA

Abstract

The objective of this study was to use a scientific knowledge base to conduct a review, with relevance to the quality of meat production and animal welfare. As a result of proper management, we have quality products on the table of our consumers, thus verifying that poor management and lack of animal welfare cause damage to the carcass, reduction of live weight which favors the occurrence of pale, soft and dry meats; or exudative, dark, firm meats depending on the degree of stress the animal has been subjected to. In view of this, several factors that affect the final result of meat were analyzed, aiming at the animal's well-being as the main emphasis.
