Poultry
Poultry are subjected to both touch and pressure in the transport containers. Photo: Lotta Berg, SLU.
Poultry have an abundance of nerves in the beak that are important when they search for food. When the beak is cut, which is not allowed in Sweden, the nerves of the beak are hurt.
This can lead to great and prolonged pain. Poultry also have sensory cells in the skin and the bones, which sense vibrations
from i.e. an approaching predator.
When poultry are hanged by the legs a strong, sometimes painful pressure against the legs can be applied if the loops are too small.

Fallow deer and red deer
The placing of the eyes hinders deer from seeing the ground surface when they graze. Instead they have long sensory hairs at the bottom of the tip of the lower jaw, which they use to detect the ground.
