Pain at the Slaughterhouse in Ruminants with a Focus on the Neurobiology of Sensitisation

Animals, 2021
We pose, based on a neurobiological examination, that events that occur around the time of slaughter have the potential to intensify the pain response, through the processes of sensitisation and enhanced transmission.

Evaluation of slaughter stress responses in the dromedary camel [PDF]

, 2019
Slaughter stress responses were evaluated in the dromedary camel by analyzing hematocrit (Hct), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), hemolysis (H%), catalase activity (CATa) and plasma levels of cortisol (COR), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4 ...

The stunning clodronate

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2023
Not only macrophages, but also neutrophils, are a main target of clodronate. In this issue of JEM, Culemann et al. (2023. J. Exp. Med.https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20220525) demonstrate that anti-inflammatory effects of clodronate liposomes are driven via stunning of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and not solely through depletion of macrophages.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Haematological changes to assess stress arising from different methods of slaughtering in pigs

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences
This study aimed to investigate the blood profile and neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in pigs subjected to stunning and non-stunning. Forty pigs, aged between 6-8 months and weighing 80-100 kg, were used to assess haematological changes associated

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Unnecessary suffering during the slaughter of cattle and pigs: mapping stun quality and associations to stun-to-stick intervals

Frontiers in Animal Science
Ensuring that animals remain unconscious and insensible until death occurs via blood loss is critical for animal welfare at slaughter. Two key factors are the rapid sticking procedure following stunning and a correct assessment of stunning efficiency ...

Light lamb meat quality packed under modified atmospheres: effect of stunning systems (electrically v. gas)

Animal, 2009
In the present study, the effect of type of stunning (electrical v. gas) and the gas mixtures in a modified atmosphere (MA) packing system (MA-A: 30% CO2 + 70% O2; MA-B: 30% CO2 + 69.3% N2 + 0.7% CO; MA-C: 40% CO2 + 60% N2) on light lamb meat quality ...
