Introduction

Trimming or condemnation may involve any portion of a carcass or a carcass that is abnormal or affected with a condition that may present a hazard to human health.

 

Localized and generalized conditions

Localized or a generalized condition in the judgement of an animal carcass should be differentiated.

In a localized condition, a lesion is restricted by the animal defense mechanisms to a certain area or organ. Systemic changes associated with a localized condition may also occur. Example: jaundice caused by liver infection or toxaemia following pyometra (abscess in the uterus).

In a generalized condition, the animal’s defense mechanisms are unable to stop the spread of the disease process by way of the circulatory or lymphatic systems. The lymph nodes of the carcass should be examined if pathological lesions are generalized. Some of the signs of a generalized disease are:

  1. Generalized inflammation of lymph nodes including the lymph nodes of the head, viscera and/or the lymph nodes of the carcass
  2. Inflammation of joints
  3. Lesions in different organs including liver, spleen kidneys and heart.
  4. The presence of multiple abscesses in different portions of the carcass including the spine of ruminants
  5. Generalized lesions usually require more severe judgement than localized lesions.
