“…His conclusions are in line with other studies pointing out the importance of early human TS in animals to improve exploratory skills (sheep: Mateo et al, 1991;goats: Boivin and Braastad, 1996;dairy cows: Schmied et al, 2008;horses: Ligout et al, 2008;rabbits: Verwer et al, 2009), immune function (sheep: Caroprese et al, 2006) or production (sheep: Napolitano et al, 2005). In pigs, it was demonstrated that, as a consequence of receiving individual human handling, pigs touched and interacted with an unfamiliar human significantly sooner and for longer compared with non-handled pigs (Tanida et al, 1995;Tallet et al, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2015).…”

It is known that tactile stimulation (TS) during ontogeny modifies brain plasticity and enhances the motor and cognitive skills. Our hypothesis was that early handling including TS would increase play and exploratory behaviour in commercial pigs under standardized test conditions. Piglets from 13 litters were subjected to three handling treatments from 5 to 35 days of age: all the piglets were handled (H), none of the piglets were handled (NH) or half of the piglets in the litter were handled (50/50). At 42 days of age, the pigs' behaviour was observed in pairs in a novel pen with a 'toy' (tug rope). The main results were that more locomotor play was performed by pigs from litters where all or half of them had been handled, whereas social exploratory behaviour was more pronounced in pigs from litters where half of them had been handled. Although behaviour was affected by the interaction of treatment with sex or with weight category, we propose that the handling procedure does seem to have acted to increase locomotor skills and that handling half of the piglets in the litter may have triggered a series of socio-emotional interactions that were beneficial for the whole group.

“…In contrast, other authors like Caroprese et al (2006) pointed out that older animals develop a high degree of socialization and higher exploration capacity, finding an emotional assurance in human presence for reducing distress when facing new situations.…”

RESUMO.A produção mundial de proteína de origem animal vem crescendo constantemente, ao mesmo passo que as exigências dos consumidores por produtos que satisfaçam suas necessidades e desejos. Assim é de fundamental importância o entendimento dos benefícios a serem alcançados com a introdução de programas que visam minimizar o efeito do estresse sobre o bem estar animal e nos produtos finais gerados a partir dessa exploração. A empresa tem como critério de pagamento, cálculos de rendimento e qualidade da carcaça. Assim, o animal que apresentar maior índice de perda de qualidade, devido a hematomas e lesões, proporcionados por técnicas rudimentares, irá proporcionar perdas financeiras ao produtor, além disso, o estresse também poderá comprometer a produção e qualidade dos produtos. Palavras chave: Aves, produção animal, ruminantesEffect of stress on animal products quality ABSTRACT. World production of animal protein has been growing steadily at the same pace that the demands of consumers for products that meet their needs and desires. So it is of fundamental importance to understanding of the benefits to be achieved with the introduction of programs to minimize the effect of stress on the animal welfare and the final products generated from that holding. The company's payment criterion, yield calculations and carcass quality. Thus, the animal that have a higher quality loss rate due to bruising and injury provided by rudimentary techniques, will provide financial losses to the grower, in addition, the stress can also involve the production and quality of products.
