Format PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Public Health and Food Safety Specialty: Meat Hygiene and Pathology DESCRIPTION ----------- This comprehensive veterinary textbook provides an essential foundation in the pathoanatomic principles underlying modern meat inspection practices. Drawing upon decades of veterinary pathology research and practical meat hygiene experience, this authoritative resource bridges the critical gap between theoretical pathology and applied meat inspection procedures. The text systematically explores the pathological changes in food-producing animals that render carcasses and organs unfit for human consumption, offering detailed guidance on recognition, interpretation, and appropriate disposition decisions at the slaughterhouse level. Designed as both a teaching tool and practical reference guide, this volume presents a thorough examination of disease processes, lesion identification, and the pathoanatomic basis for condemnation criteria across all major food animal species including cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry. The content emphasizes the correlation between gross pathological findings and their implications for food safety, public health protection, and economic considerations in meat production. Each chapter integrates classical veterinary pathology with contemporary meat inspection standards, regulatory frameworks, and risk assessment methodologies. This indispensable resource equips veterinary professionals with the diagnostic acumen necessary to make sound judgments during ante-mortem and post-mortem examinations. By understanding the underlying pathoanatomic changes associated with infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, toxicological conditions, and traumatic injuries, practitioners can confidently fulfill their critical role in safeguarding the food chain while supporting sustainable animal agriculture and international trade requirements.
