Conteúdo: 	Several initiatives, including research and development, increasing stakeholders' awareness and application of legislation and recommendation, have been carried out inLatinAmericatopromoteanimalwelfareand meat quality. Most activities focused on the impact of pre-slaughter conditions (facilities, equipment and handling procedures) onanimalwelfareand meat quality. The results are encouraging; data from Brazil, Chile and Uruguay showed that the application of the improved pre-slaughter handling practices reduced aggressive handling and the incidence of bruised carcasses at slaughter in cattle and pigs. These outcomes stimulated some to apply animalwelfare concepts in livestock handling within the meat production chain as shown by the increasing demand for personnel training on the best. To attend this demand is important to expand local studies onfarmanimalwelfareandto set up (or maintain) an efficient system for knowledge transfer to all stakeholders in the LatinAmerica meat production chains. However, it is clear that topromote the long-term progress in this field is important to deliver practical solutions, assuring that they match the technical and financial conditions of those who are the target of training programs.
