The objective of this work was to determine the effect of commercialization process of a livestock auction on relative and absolute weight loss, according to gender, breed standard, commercial category, animal initial weight and waiting period until sale. During the auctioning process at Asociación Cámara de Ganaderos Unidos del SUR (ACGUS) livestock auction, located in Perez Zeledón, San José, Costa Rica, six hundred twenty nine animals were analyzed. No significant effects of gender and breed standard were found on relative and actual weight loss. However, depending on commercial category, waiting period and animal initial weight (p<0.05) animals may lose between 4.31 and 9.91, 6.16 and 7.31, and 3.52 and 9.54 kilograms per animal, respectively. Breed standard, commercial category and waiting period variables have a significant effect on relative weight loss, not gender and animal initial weigh effects were found. In general, relative weight loss ranged from 1.57 to 2.54%.

Se evaluó además el porcentaje de merma correspondiente al peso del animal según su sexo, el patrón racial, la categoría comercial, el peso vivo de entrada a las instalaciones de la subasta y el tiempo de espera de cada animal desde el ingreso hasta el momento de su remate. Se analizaron un total de 629 animales en la subasta Asociación Cámara de Ganaderos Unidos del Sur, ubicada en Pérez Zeledón, San José, Costa Rica, entre agosto y noviembre del 2011. El sexo del animal y el patrón racial no tuvieron efecto significativo sobre los kilogramos de peso perdidos. Mientras que, según la categoría comercial, el periodo de espera y el peso de ingreso (p<0,05), se pueden perder entre 4,31 y 9,91; entre 6,16 y 7,31; y entre 3,52 y 9,54 kilos por animal, respectiva- mente. Para el porcentaje de merma, las variables patrón racial, categoría comercial y el periodo de espera presentaron efectos significativos, no así el sexo y el peso de ingreso. El porcentaje de merma fluctuó entre 1,57 a 2,54%.
