The influence of 2 transport stressors (loading and noise) on several serum and plasma biochemical variables was studied in 4 calves. When calves were loaded and kept for 30 minutes on a motionless transport simulator or were exposed to the noise of the working simulator, increases in plasma epinephrine and serum cortisol and nonesterified fatty acids concentrations were similar to changes observed in calves subjected to simulated transport for 30 minutes. Results indicate that loading and noise have an important role in transport stress.

Abstract
The influence of 2 transport stressors (loading and noise) on several serum and plasma biochemical variables was studied in 4 calves. When calves were loaded and kept for 30 minutes on a motionless transport simulator or were exposed to the noise of the working simulator, increases in plasma epinephrine and serum cortisol and nonesterified fatty acids concentrations were similar to changes observed in calves subjected to simulated transport for 30 minutes. Results indicate that loading and noise have an important role in transport stress.
