Practical Meat Inspection

This practical book covers all the basic facts concerning the identification of the body systems of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, and the abnormal conditions likely to be found in them. It explains in considerable detail (aided by clear line drawings) all aspects of meat inspection for the one who actually has to wield the knife. The book is divided into sections covering cells and tissues, deer and venison, the systems of the body, slaughter and age/sex determination, butchers' joints and meat products, rabbits and poultry. This book is intended for meat inspectors, environmental health officers, practising and trainee veterinary surgeons.
