Résumé
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of temperature (T)/relative humidity (RH) combinations and exposure duration (D) on the muscle tissue characteristics of layer pullets during simulated transport. While layer pullets are not processed for meat, muscle physiology can be used as an indicator to assess welfare. Pullets (n = 240) were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 T/RH combinations (-15°C uncontrolled RH [-15], 21°C 30%RH [21/30], 21°C 80%RH [21/80], 30°C 30%RH [30/30], and 30°C 80%RH [30/80]) and 2 D (4 or 8 h) in a 5 x 2 factorial arrangement (3 replications). Birds were weighed before exposure, crated (density 45.5 kg/m
