Abstract
This review aims to address briefly the aspects related to welfare during pre-slaughter sheep with emphasis on meat quality management. The pre-slaughter handling is the final step in creating the animals, phase before slaughter. The pre-slaughter management includes a number of activities such as: time of fasting, loading, transportation, unloading, accommodation bays in the refrigerator, rest period, stunning and slaughter that need to be performed with animal welfare. Livestock that are handled in the absence of well-being may have affected the quality of the meat. We conclude that the sheep industry in Brazil is lacking information of the benefits of a management with wellness. Several studies and awareness in the production chain of sheep-related behavior and animal welfare are needed.
