TL;DR: In this global sample of children around the world, many common correlates of SED and ST were identified, some of which are easily modifiable (e.g., removing TV from the bedroom), and others that may require more intense behavioral interventions.
Long distance transportation of steers to slaughter: effect of stocking density on physiology, behaviour and carcass quality
TL;DR: The results show that stocking densities above about 550 kg/m2 are unacceptable for animals in this weight range on long journeys, and physiological data suggest that any increase in journey time or deterioration in transport conditions would be detrimental to welfare.

TL;DR: The aim of this research was to examine the effects of preslaughter washing, pre‐evisceration washing, final carcass washing and chilling onfinal carcass quality and to evaluate these operations as possible critical control points (CCPs) within a pork slaughter hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system.
The effect of stocking density during 4 hour transport to slaughter on behaviour, blood constituents and carcass bruising in Friesian steers.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the high stocking density adversely affected animal welfare and lowered carcass quality when compared with the medium and low stocking densities.
