AB The concentration of epinephrine, norepinephrine and lactate were measured in blood collected from pigs at slaughter after electric stunning with 220 V and compared with pH values (pH(45)) and conductivity (LF(45)) in Longissimus dorsi muscle 45 minutes after slaughter. In group 1 [Duroc x (Yorkshire x Landrace)] the concentration of norepinephrine was significant higher than in group 2 [Duroc x (Large White x Landrace]) (66.2 +/- 3.6 vs. 54.7 +/- 3.9 ng/ml). Also, the level of lactate was significant higher in group 1 than in group 2 (10.8 +/- 0.5 vs. 9.1 +/- 0.6 mmoles/1). However, no differences between the two groups were found in the concentration of epinephrine (46.5 +/- 2.5 vs. 46.8 +/- 1.4 ng(ml), in pH(45) (6.68 +/- 0.06 vs. 6.68 +/- 0.09) and in LF(45) values (3.20 +/- 0.06 vs. 3.21 +/- 0.10 mS/cm). A correlation between the levels of epinephrine or norepinephrine and pH(45) or LF(45) was not detected.
