Evaluation was made of the effect of different pre-slaughter fasting periods on animal reactivity, physiological stress indicators and final meat quality, considering glucose as a potential stress indicator. Thirty three (33) castrated Aberdeen Angus breed young bulls were used, approximately 24 months old, average weight of 450 kg, with similar origin, time and transportation conditions, being slaughtered in a commercial packing plant in Pelotas, RS, Brazil. Animals were classified in four different fastening periods. Reactivity was classified accordingly to a scale ranging from zero (0) to five (5), the lesser reactive being attributed 0 and the most reactive being attributed 5. Blood samples were collected to determine glucose and cortis...
