Pigs,
who died in transit, dumped hehind a truck
at the slaughterhouse.
Quote
from "Lancaster Farming" (October 27, 1990)--
"Death losses during transport are too high--
amounting to more than $8 million per year.
But it doesn't take a lot of imagination to
figure out why we load as many hogs on a truck
as we do. It's cheaper... Even with a zero
death rate that might be associated with providing
more space on the truck, the hogs we save
would not be enough to pay for the increased
trasportation costs of hauling fewer hogs
on a load." |
