Document Summary

Lab 2. 1 stages of slaughter operation: ante-mortem inspection. Antemortem means before death - so this is the inspection of the live animal. The inspector will be looking for animals which are crippled and cannot walk properly. These will be slaughtered separately because they will not be able to negotiate the raceways in the abattoir. The inspector will look for animals with signs of a fever or abnormal behaviour (particularly animals which might have a central nervous system disease). For example, this is where outbreaks of very serious diseases like hoof and mouth would first be detected and the panic button activated. The animal must be rendered unconscious before it can be killed by exsanguination (except where there are religoius exemptions). Hand-operated captive-bolt pistols with a . 22 blank cartridge are common in small abattoirs, but electrical stunning or carbon dioxide stunning are used in large abattoirs. Electrical stunning uses an alternating current to induce unconsciousness.
