1what is holding of providence
ante mortem inspection on the farm by alloawed by vet who took a quiz- get a certificate- meant to be so a vet doesnt have to do it at abbatoir
must be within 3 days of slaughter
pointless since there will always be a vet onsite when killing anyways...
2process of beef slaughter
ante mortem inspection
stunn
shackle
bleed
head removal
hide removal- without any contamination, highest risk part. hence a ccp
evisceration
splitting
spine removal
post mortem exam
marking
chilling
quatering
boning
3what to do if find a injuried animal
either priority slaughter
or if dont want to wait can euthanise and destroy it
4can animals leave the farm
no- although OV can send to farm
terrible for spread of disease
we cant release pigs- since incubators of such diseases. can only call CVO to release them.
5when can emergency slaughter on farm be used
acute traumatic slaughter- unable to be transported but still fit and healthy
then taken to abbatoir for processing
6what to do with fallen stock
if over 48 months, must be tested for BSE
slaughter and destroyed and incinerated / take as hunt kennel food
7how far must the abbatoir be for emergency slaughter trrnapost plans to change
<2 hours- unrefrigerated
>2 hours- refrigerated. 5-7degrees.
8what kill method is banned for human consumption
pithing- BSE risk
only good for euthanasia not emergency slaughter
can do in deer since no zoonotic prion in deer.
9what to cut for death
cattle- carotid and thoracic stick
pig- thoracic stick
shepp- just carotids
10where to split the carcase
a smidge of centre, so dont splice the SC and sent neuro matter everywhere
SC gets removed in its entirety
11what is SRM
specified risk material- eg for scrapie and BSE
12what is still SRM
skull brain eyes of cows >12 months
SC >12 months
everything else is not SRM
except in channel islands - they still have SRM in most things for BSE
13what do meat inspectors look for
no faecal contam
all SRM removed
then look at food quality
14what bacteria group are the most concerning
mesophiles
grow between 20 and 45 best
15what does ZFT mean
zero faecal tolerance=
skinning and evicersaiotn steps
16why are america so concerned with ZFT
shiga toxin producing e coli
kidney disease in children
cows spread to calves
mostly from raw burgers
17whats different with sheep at slaughter
fleeces dirty
should send in shawn sheep- can roll back and e coli on carcase.
18how are deer processed
killed- guns or transported to abbatoir for stun and kill
filed lsaughter on deer farm, ante mortem 72 hours before killing by OV.
meat inspection within 24 hours.
processed like a cow
control of TB- dont dress cascases in wild
19US laws on restuarants
venison antelope pheasants farmed raised= only serve if slaughtered and dressed under inspection.
20how to process ostriches
captive bolt stun or electrical stun
severe carotid and thoraci stick
leather most important part, dont destroy with sticking.
prone to clostridia- necrosis enteritis
21biggest risk of camelid processing
crimp roll back
leptospirosis from GIT and urine
bTB risk at abbatoir- risk to workers to get
