Stress is a topic relevant importance to both human and animal area. Animal meat producers are subjected to different pre-slaughter factors from the production unit to the slaughterhouse. These stressors factors to animals may cause physiological changes leading to an adverse effect on the final quality of the meat. In Brazil, in last years, sheep meat is a growing market, especially in developing countries, where economic growth more abundant, and increasingly demanding, consumers. In this contest, we conducted a literature review in the last 40 years, that addresses to slaughter handling of these animals, aspects of ovine behavior, and its consequences on final meat quality. In the second chapter, there was a study with the objectives of ...
