ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper was to present the problem of transport of pigs, taking into account legal requirements of transport, Carriage and changes occurring in the physiological state of the transported pigs as well as the quality of the pig meat obtained from them. Transport of pigs is a significant element in the production cycle of high quality meat. Often, serious economic losses are caused by improper transportation, poor animal welfare and the exposure of many stressors over a short period of time. At present the conditions of animal transport in Poland are regulated by “Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 of 22 December 2004 on the protection of animals during transport and related activities.”
