Principais causas de condenações de carcaças no abate de bovinos

Abstract

Brazilian livestock farming is of great economic importance for the country, making Brazil the second largest beef producer in the world. However, the condemnation of carcasses in slaughterhouses is still one of the main causes of loss during slaughter and constitutes a direct economic loss for the refrigeration industry and for the producer. In order to ensure that beef consumption is made safely, ante-mortem and post-mortem health inspections are carried out to determine whether the carcass may be intended for the consumer. Post-mortem inspection of bovine animals is carried out on animals slaughtered by examination of various parts and organs and defines whether the carcasses will be released for consumption, conditionally used (salting, sausages or preserves), partially condemned or very condemned.
