Road Transport: A Review of Its Effects on the Welfare of Piglets by Martina Zappaterra, Luigi Faucitano, Leonardo Nanni Costa

“…More specifically, in this review the effect of transport duration has been dealt with through its impact on death rate, behaviour and physiological response, and feeling of hunger and thirst. Based on the available literature, clear conclusions can be drawn on the vulnerability of piglets to heat stress during transport. …”

Application of a Protocol to Assess Camel Welfare: Scoring System of Collected Measures, Aggregated Assessment Indices, and Criteria to Classify a Pen by Laura Menchetti, Martina Zappaterra, Leonardo Nanni Costa, Barbara Padalino

“…The Good Feeding index, including measures related to prolonged thirst and prolonged hunger, was the most critical (<i>p</i> < 0.001), while the Good Health index, including measures related to the absence of injuries, disease and pain, was the less problematic (<i>p</i> < 0.001). …”
