â Naturafarmâ production
complied with increased animal welfare requirements. A total
of 125 abomasa were randomly selected in one large abattoir.
They were examined macroscopically, and the occurence of
lesions in either the fundic or pyloric region of the
abomasum was recorded separately. Animals raised in the
â conventionalâ -
production setting revealed a significantly higher prevalence
of lesions in the fundic part. Factors significantly
affecting the prevalence of non- perforating lesions in the
fundic part were the
â conventionalâ -production
environment, including missing access to an outside pen,
missing access to water and straw as the only roughage,
feeding by bucket and the liquid milk by-product Protofit in
combination with the powder Sprayfit.
