Abstract
In conclusion, this work has suggested a potential model for the aggregation of animal welfare measurements into animal welfare indexes for slaughter pigs on the day of slaughter. Further validation may allow simple comparison of the level of welfare between lorries, days, abattoirs etc. and may be used for future development of a feedback mechanism for optimization of the welfare of the pigs as well as for marketing.
