For the study 144 pigs were used. One group of 72 animals was subjected to 15 min and the others to 3 h transport time. Blood from all animals was analysed in order to detect stress-susceptible pigs and assess pre-slaughter stress. Meat quality parameters were analysed from Longissimus thoracis and Semimembranosus muscles. It was concluded that under normal Spanish commercial conditions, pigs subjected to short transport showed a more intense stress response and poorer meat quality than pigs subjected to moderately long transport when they were immediately slaughtered on arrival at the slaughterhouse. Transport of 3 h might have allowed the animals to adapt to transport conditions and then could act as a resting period like a lairage time. The effect of transport time on welfare and meat quality parameters was more important than genotype and sex. Nevertheless, from the point of view of blood enzyme activities, genetically stress susceptible females transported for 3 h were more sensitive to muscle damage. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.252 2002 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 18 / 92 = 0.196 2002 Q1 T1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Palacio, J Santolaria, M P Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8991-325X Aceña, M C Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4460-1786 Chacon, G Gascon, M Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5927-073X Calvo, J H (orcid)0000-0001-9513-0219 Zaragoza, P Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5740-0185 Beltran, J A Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3764-0189 Garcia Belenguer, S.
