ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing the stress in meat producing animals and of improving the quality of the meat produced from slaughtering said animals, while reducing the number of animals lost due to incapacitation, injury, or untimely death, by administering to the animals an effective amount of epinephrine or an epinephrine-like drug sufficient to acclimate the animal, and allowing the animal then to rest before loading the animal to be slaughtered by industry standard procedures for such meat producing animals. This method produces a meat with high sensory qualities.
