Inspeção de bovinos: prevalência de condenações em frigorífico SIE - Porto Velho / Rondônia

Abstract

The work aimed to identify and document the main causes of head, tongue, foot, lips, liver, lung and heart condemnations of cattle in slaughterhouses under the State Inspection Service (SIE) in Porto Velho, Rondônia, as well as to determine the economic losses resulting from inadequate handling of the animal during pre-slaughter and failures related to the inexperience of the technician responsible. The research was carried out at the Areia Branca Frigorific, located in the Municipality of Porto Velho, in the State of Rondônia, through documentary analysis of official health inspection reports and official data referring to the condemnations of slaughtered cattle. The data were tabulated in an electronic spreadsheet and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that during the year 2023, there were several occurrences of injuries and convictions, with the highest incidences for the liver (3988 cases), caused by teleangiectasia, the lungs (11885 convictions), with the main cause being contamination and for the kidneys (19,443 convictions), of which 13,149 were due to contamination. There was a total of R$124,866.52 in economic losses, with the highest values relating to the liver with R$116,146.51 and the feet with a total of R$7,900.20. Therefore, it is concluded that it is extremely necessary to strictly implement hygiene, care and appropriate management measures that cover all phases of the slaughter process, in order to minimize and prevent contamination, the main reason for condemnations, as well as, carrying out training for everyone involved in the management of animals in the pre-slaughter phase, aiming to minimize financial losses, to provide quality products with lower losses.
