Abstract

In reindeer, subjected to stress, marked changes were found in some blood constituents when compared with unstressed animals, i.e. the white blood cell composition, Cortisol and urea values.

Mental stress, due to handling appears to be of great importance in reindeer.

Elevated urea values in stressed animals may cause a decreased meat quality.

Sammanfattning

Hos renar utsatta för stress förelåg markerade förändringar i bl. a. den vita blodbilden, Cortisol och ureavärden jämfört med ostressade renar.

Mental stress, förorsakad av den hantering djuren utsättes för synes vara av stor betydelse hos ren.

Förhöjda ureavärden hos stressade renar kan resultera i sänkt köttkvalitet.
