title: Haematological and clinico-chemical profiles of barrows at the farm and at slaughter.
abstract: Haematological and clinico-chemical profiles of blood of healthy stress-resistant swine collected at the farm and at slaughter were determined to investigate whether values of blood variables can be used to establish stress. The values of most variables investigated showed highly significant changes. It is concluded that haematological and clinico-chemical values may be useful in studies to detect, quantify and reduce stress-provoking conditions in stress-resistant swine.
