Extract

Meat from exotic farm animals such as farmed deer and wild boar is currently widely available to the consumer within the UK. Despite a rapid growth in production there is a paucity of research that focuses on the welfare of these animals during their slaughter. The objective of this study was to survey deer and wild boar producers to establish information about current slaughter practices. In addition producers’ opinion on current practice was ascertained.
