Blood samples were collected at exanguination and cortisol, glucose, lactate, muscle enzymes and haematological parameters were determined. Post-mortem measurements of muscle pH were taken at 20 min, 2 h and 24 h from Longissimus thoracis and Semimembranosus. Lairage time showed a significant effect on pH 24, internal muscle reflectance using the fibre optic probe (FOP 24), red blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes, glucose and enzymatic activities. Changes in blood profile and meat quality parameters indicated that three hours of lairage in Spanish commercial conditions may reduce the amount of stress exhibited by pigs at slaughter and better meat quality can be obtained. No lairage or an excessively long lairage period without food may compromise animal welfare and meat quality. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.031 2002 VETERINARY SCIENCES 4 / 125 = 0.032 2002 Q1 T1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Palacio, Jorge Santolaria, Maria Pilar Acena, Maria Del Carmen Chacon, Gema Verde, Maria Teresa Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2957-1379 Calvo, Jorge Hugo (orcid)0000-0001-9513-0219 Zaragoza, Maria Pilar Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5740-0185 Gascon, Manuel Garcia Belenguer, Sylvia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5084-6555 1001 420 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
