The manipulations that are carried out on the animals that are destined for production, notwithstanding their behavior is the indicator of the treatment or well-being found in the facilities, it also has a lot to do with how each of the activities is executed, be it handling the assembly of the animals, during the transport, fasting and the preparation of the animal before its sacrifice. Variations in animal welfare during the processes in which animals are exposed to stress accumulate and this leads to a huge loss in body weight, causing injuries to different organs, occasionally the presence of hemorrhages and other injuries, which can even cause the death of the animal.
