Descrição: Farmers who regularly experience wet carcass syndrome tend to farm on a more extensive scale and apply insufficient management practices evidenced by poor recordkeeping, lower sheep handling frequency and inefficient grazing management. Overgrazing and deterioration of natural pastures are aggravated by drought conditions. Feeding of supplements or the provision of a salt lick is unrelated to wet carcass syndrome. Nor can any connection between transport to and distance from the abattoir, type of feeding in the holding pens, withholding of drinking and overhydration before slaughter to the incidence of wet carcass syndrome be demonstrated. The susceptibility for the development of this condition most probably occurs while the live animal is still on the farm.
