17-Nov-2009 (16 years 6 months 20 days ago)There are not just one but two major issues for abattoirs that could bounce back and hit producers. One is pleurisy and the other is poor slapmarking.
Research at Cambridge Veterinary School has found pleurisy costs producers up to £2.26 per pig due to reduced carcase weight and increased age at slaughter.
