Why did the slave traders try hard to keep slaves alive?
A slave is a valuable commodity in the mind of a slave trader, therefore a dead slave means a loss of capital. In the Transatlantic slave trade the slaves were purchased from the coastal tribes who generally captured people from the inland tribes. Even if a slave-trader captured slaves on his own, it would require money to pay the men to do the capturing. Then there was the expense of feeding a slave, which would lost money if the slave died. In the early days of the trade, there were no purpose-built ships so slaves were kept in large groups, but as sailing ships increased in speed they built ships where slaves could be packed into shelf-like bunks. They would try to quickly make the passage to the West Indies before muscles atrophied and too many slaves had a chance to die. In earlier times, especially at the height of the Roman Empire, slaves were generally spoils of war, and were not so valuable as there was no initial price paid for many them, and slavery was so common that slaves were quite inexpensive. Slave traders of that period were less worried about the health of their slaves, as life was far cheaper--unless the slaves were young and pretty girls or well-trained and -educated.
