MEAT INSPECTION.
How the Unit llfsfI Inspects Ani?
mals Before Slaughter?Relation to
the Shipper ami Producer.
All farmers and others who raise or
handle cuttle, sheep, ho^s, or goats
which are marketed for food purpos?
es should know s< mefthing of the
general rules under which the de?
partment conducts the inspection of
animals to be slaughtered.
When such animals are forwarded
to public stockyards or to establish
mente where Federal meat inspection
la maintained they are inspected alive.
This inspection is known as the ante
mortem inspection and is done in the
stockyards or in the pens of the es?
tablishment. When conducted in the
public stockyards the ante mortem in?
spection is usually made at the
scales when the animals are weigh?
ed. The chief requirements for the
disposal of animals upon this inspec?
tion are as lollows: Those animals
which do not plainly skow, but are
suspected of being affected with, any
disease or condition which may cause
condemnation in whole or in part at
the time of slaughter, are marked
with a serially-numbered metal tag
which bears the legend "U. S. Sus?
pect." All animals which are thus
marked as suspects are held apart
and slaughtered separately from oth?
er animals, the only exception to this
rule being those held for advanced
pregnancy or on account of having
recently given birth to young, and
j w hich have not been exposed to any
infections or contagious disease. Such
animals, together with their young,
!may be released for breeding or dairy
purposes, and when so released they
must be promptly removed from the
J stockyards or premises of the estab
1 lishment where inspected.
j Some animals are condemned out
j right upon the ante-mortem inspec
Uion. For instance, all hogs.which
j plainly show that they are affected
with either hog cholera or swine
I
1j plague are marked "U. S. Condemn?
ed." Further, if a hog is one of a
lot in which there are symptoms of
hoy cholera or swine plague and the
animal has a temperature of 106 de
jgrees F. or higher, it is condemned.
All animals thus marked are destroy?
ed. They can not be taken into the
establishment to be slaughtered or
j dressed, but must be disposed of in
tanks so as to prevent their use for
food purposes. In case of doubt as to
the cause of the high temperature the
animal may be held under the in?
spector's supervision for further ex?
amination and taking of temperature.
Immature animals offered for ante
mortem inspection at any of the
places specified in the regulation are
required to be condemned outright;
likewise all animals showing symp?
toms of rabies, tetanus, milk fever,
or railroad sickness.
Besides this ante-mortem inspection,
the carcasses are thoroughly inspected
at the time of and after slaughter,
and the meat and products are also
inspected in the various stages and
processes of preparation.
The losses caused through the con?
demnation of animals which are un?
lit for food affects directly or indi?
rectly the price which the producer
receives for his live stock. The pur?
chasers of animals for slaughter not
infrequently trace diseased shipments
back to their origin where disease is
harbored, and thereafter decline to
take animals from infected farms and
I localities except under an arrange
jment which will insure them against
loss.
