Sažetak
The aim of this paper was to develop our own welfare assessment model in an abattoir and determine further steps in the development of this model based on testing. A form developed at the Department of Hygiene and Technology of Animal Foodstuffs contains all important elements of slaughtering process which involves the risk of stress. This manner of assessment was applied to 10 fattening pigs of 95 to 105 kg of body weight. A special emphasis was put on stun to stick interval which has been proved to last longer than permitted. The reasons for that are a weak allocation of workers inside the abattoir and applying electric current for too long.
