Abstract

In the EU, the visual post-mortem inspection is the standard procedure for pigs at the slaughterhouse. Nevertheless, the official veterinarian has to expand the post-mortem inspection procedures by using palpation or incision if one or more of the following indicates a possible risk to public or animal health or animal welfare: checks and analysis of the food chain information following Reg. (EC) No. 853/2004; findings of ante-mortem inspection results of the verifications concerning animal welfare rules; findings of post-mortem inspection additional epidemiological data; or other data from the holding of provenance of the animals
