Reindeer transported on lorries to the slaughterhouse showed strongly elevated plasma noradrenaline, adrenaline and Cortisol values. Plasma creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase activity measurements gave no evidence of muscle damage, but by cooking ammonia-like and another taint were observed in the meat from about 25 % of the transported reindeer. A control group consisting of reindeer slaughtered from the gathering corral also showed a high prevalence of these meat taints. Plasma and meat urea values were elevated in the transported reindeer, but there was no correlation between the meat urea values and the intensities of ammonia-like taint. The character of the other observed taint was not defined.
用卡车运输到屠宰场的驯鹿血浆去甲肾上腺素、肾上腺素和皮质醇值大幅升高。血浆肌酸激酶和天冬氨酸转氨酶活性测量结果未显示有肌肉损伤迹象，但在约25%的运输驯鹿的肉中观察到类似氨味和另一种异味。由从聚集畜栏宰杀的驯鹿组成的对照组也显示出这些肉异味的高发生率。运输驯鹿的血浆和肉中尿素值升高，但肉中尿素值与类似氨味异味的强度之间没有相关性。观察到的另一种异味的特征未明确。
