Reindeer pre-slaughter handling can cause stress and negatively affect meat quality. A comprehensive survey of reindeer meat pH values (n=3,400) was carried out in 1991-1995 and demonstrated 29% of the measured pH values to be 5.8 and higher. New pH data from 2010/2011 (n=2,800) showed that the amount of high values had dropped to 12.8%. Compiled official data from the investigated period illustrated that the calf slaughter has increased from 50% to 72% of the total slaughter. At the same time, the proportion of carcasses given the best EUROP conformation scores decreased from 40.8% to 25.3%. Improved pH status gives better meat shelf life and opportunities to sell more fresh/chilled meat, something requested by consumers.
