Indian StandardCODB OF PRJ\.CTICB FOR ANTE-MORTBM

AND POST-MORTBM INSPECfION OFMBAT ANIMALS

(First Revision)o. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standald (First Revision) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution OQ~ 27 September 1971, after the draft finalized bythe Meat and Meat Products Sectional, Committee had been approvedby the Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.0.2 Proper ante-mortem inspection of all animals before slaughtet is eaea­tial to ensure that they are not affected with any disease or other conditionwhich may render the flesh unwholesome. There are some diseales whichare communicable from animals to man by contact and, therefore, ante­mortem Inspection is also necessary for safeguarding the health of tile CODIU­mer as well as of the butcher. Post-moer-m inspection is essential ~o detectcarcuaea, parts ofcarcasses and organs which may be diseased and, thereby,rendered unfit for human consumption. At present, thert i. DO

uniform procedure for ante-mortem and post-mortem ins..,ection of mealanimala on an all-India basis but the local bodies have framed their ownby-laws. The formulation of this standard will, therefore, meet ~he need

, for a uniform procedure for the whole country.e.s This standard was fint published in 1962. The various provisiona orthat ltandard had been under the review of the Sectional Committee fromtime to time and the present revision was taken up with a view to DlodifyiDgthe earlier requirements in the light of experience gained by vanoUi goyem­mmt and {)rivate agencies in the ante-mortem and post-mortem iupectioaofmeat aDlmall.

tA The presen& revision incorporates a number of important modificatioal;thae are: Ca) camel, hone, mare, au and mule have been excluded from theICOpe of the .tandard since these animals are Dot slaughtered in thecotmtry; (b) the termiDol~ haa been aligned with that of the draB MeatProducta Order; and (c) detailed instructions on dealing with anthruiulected carcassea have been included.1.5 In the preparation ofthis standard, assistance has been derived from thefoI1owlq pubBcaticms:

6.4.3 The carcass of a pig in which lesions of tuberculosis are found in anysituation or in any degree shall be split and the vertebrae inspected. Thekidneys in such a carcass shall be freed, but not necessarily detached from theenclosing fatty tissue, the surface shall be carefully inspected and, if lesionsare obvious or suspected, incisions shall be made into the substance.

c) When the lesions of tuberculosis are generalized, as shown by theirpresence not only at the usual seats of primary infection but alsoin parts of the carcass or tn the organs that may be reached by thetubercle bacilli only when they are carried in the systemic circula­tion. The tuberculous lesions in any two of the following organsare to be accepted as evidence ofgeneralization when they occur inaddition to local tuberculous lesions in the digestive or respiratorytracts, including the lymph-nodes connected therewith: spleen.kidney, uterus, udder, ovary, testicle, adrenal gland, and brain orspinal cord or their membranes. Numerous tubercles uniformlydistributed throughout both lungs also afford evidence ofgeneralization;

e) When the lesions are extensive in one or both body cavities; and

f) When the lesions are multiple, acute, and actively progressive.( Evidence of active progress consists of signs of acute inflammationabout the lesions, or liquefaction necrosis, or the presence of youngtubercles. )

6.5.1.2 An organ or a part of a carcass shall be condemned under anyC!f the following conditions:

a) When it contains lesions of tuberculosis;

b) When the lesion is localized but immediately adjacent to the fleshas in the case of tuberculosis of the parietal pleura or peritoneum.In this case not only the membrane or part affected but also theadjacent thoracic or abdominal wall is to be condemned;

c) When it has been contaminated by tuberculous material throughcontact with the floor or a soiled knife or otherwise;

d) Heads showing lesions of tuberculosis shall be condemned, exceptthat when a head is from a carcass passed for food or for cookingand the lesions are slight, or calcified, or encapsulated, ana areconfined to lymph-nodes in which not more than two are involved,the head may be passed for cooking after the diseased tissueshave been removed and condemned;

e) An organ shall be condemned when the corresponding lymph-nodeis tuberculous; and

f) Intestines and mesenteries showing lesions of tuberculosis shall becondemned.

6.5.1.3 Carcasses showing lesions of tuberculosis may be passed forfood when the lesions are slight, localized, and calcified or encapsulated, orare limited to a single or several parts of the organs of the body (except asnoted in 6.5.1.1) and there is no evidence of recent invasion of tuberclebacilli into the systemic circulation. Carcasses showing such lesions as thefollowing examples may be passed, after the parts containing the lesions areremoved and condemned in accordance with 6.5.1.2:

a) In the cervical lymph-nodes and two groups of visceral Iymph­nodes in a single body cavity, such as the cervical, bronchial andmediastinal glands, or the cervical, hepatic, and mesenteric glands;

proper inspection to be'made of the internal muscles ofmastication.These muscles shall be inspected after incising them in such a man­ner as to split the muscles in a plane parallel with the lower jaw­bone. The masseter muscles also shall be incised, splitting theentire cxtemallayer between the outer and intermediate fasciae.

b) H,fJrl- The preparation and inspection of heart shall conform toone of the following methods:1) The surface of the heart shall be examined and a longitudinal

incision made extending from base to apex through the wall ofthe left ventricle and the interventricular septum, after whichthe cut surfaces and the inner surfaces of the ventricles shall beinspected. ' .

2) After the external surface of the heart has been inspected, theorgan shall be prepared for further inspection by an establish­ment employee severing its attachments and cutting through theinterventricular septum and such other tissues as will permithim to evert the organ completely. The inspector shall thenexamine the interior surfaces and make not more thanfour deep, lengthwise incisions into the muscles of the septumand left ventricular wall, unless the presence ofcysts is suspected,when more incisions shall be made.

A-2.1 The efficacy of • disinfectant depf?ncls upon the resistance of thecontaminating agents which may be divided into the fonowing two groupe:

a) Those which are easily destroyed together with those which do Dotleave the animal body. In these cases, a siInple cleansin,ofwaUs,floors, doors and tools with limewater ( I : 20 ) or with a suspensionof bleaching powder ( 1 : 20 ) auflices. For metal parts, anaqueouslolution of cresol or phenol is preferable.

b) Those which are not easilydestroyed and which are communicableto other animals, for example, the agents responsible for:

anthrax poxblackleg scabiesfoot-and-mouth disease septicaemiafowl cholera swine fever

In these cases, manure, straw, etc, should be burned, buried or. disinfeeted by Imrage for a lo~ period and in some cases, mixed with

slaked lime. Liquids such as blood and water should be disinfected witha 9O.percent sus~on of chloride of lime. For walla, Soon, instrumenaetc, mOlt of the disinfectants mentioned above may be used. Metal took......tioD lor pheaoJ (.......) (Jrll ...... ). .

or instruments should be 'sterilized by heat, if possible; otherwise, a solutionof cresol or phenol is quite effective. This solution may also be used forwooden tools, rubber boots, etc.

A-3. OTHER MEANS OF DISINFECTION

M.I Steam, dry heat and burning are also very effective. Instruments,tools, etc, may be disinfected by immersion in boiling water for 15 minutes.A 3-percent solution of washing soda ( sodium carbonate) or soap is usefulfor this purpose. Hooks, handles, covers, etc, should be scrubbed In boilingwater or solution of washing soda
