运输前手动捕获家禽是一个潜在的创伤性过程，但对于温和处理与粗暴处理的相对压力特性存在一些混淆。因此，在老年蛋鸡和 6 周龄肉鸡（肉型鸡）接受三种短暂处理处理之一后，立即测量它们的强直性不动恐惧反应。这些是：（1）标准（鸟直立飞行，翅膀靠近身体）； (2) 直立/抚摸（标准程序加上再保持直立30秒并抚摸）； (3)粗暴(标准治疗加抱腿倒立30s)。粗鲁的操作延长了两种菌株中第一次警觉头部运动的潜伏期和强直不动的持续时间。它还增加了肉鸡对强直不动的敏感性。这些发现与以下观点一致：与其他处理方式相比，粗鲁的处理方式会引起蛋鸡和肉鸡更大的恐惧。
The manual harvesting of poultry prior to transportation is a potentially traumatic process but there is some confusion concerning the relative stressful properties of gentle versus rough handling. The tonic immobility fear reactions of aged laying hens and of 6-week-old broilers (meat-type chickens) were therefore measured immediately after their exposure to one of three brief handling treatments. These were: (1) standard (bird carried upright with the wings held close to its body); (2) upright/stroking (standard procedure plus held upright for a further 30 s and stroked); (3) rough (standard treatment plus held by the legs and inverted for 30 s). Rough handling prolonged the latency until the first alert head movement and the duration of tonic immobility in both strains. It also increased susceptibility to tonic immobility in the broiler chickens. These findings are consistent with the suggestion that rough handling elicited greater fear in laying hens and broilers than did the other handling treatments.
