| Research Abstract |
Firstly, we collected data on the physiological stress responses of suckling calves to long-haul road transportation in Japan. Physiological responses suggest that the stress during long-haul transportation causes significant effect on the liver function of calves. Secondly, we conducted applicability evaluation of recommendations of the European region for suckling calves. Results suggest that haul distances greater than 100km should not be recommended even for suckling calves transported in Japan.
