  • Title: [Results of the evaluation of food chain information for a risk-oriented meat inspection].
    Author: Windhaus A, Meemken D, Blaha T, Klein G.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 2007 Aug; 114(8):305-8. PubMed ID: 17763632.
    Abstract:
    In a scientific project 469 slaughter groups originating from 39 farmers with 37.222 pigs in total were investigated concerning the usefulness of the food chain information. A standard statement does not include enough relevant information for the official veterinarian in the slaughterhouse to do a risk-based meat inspection. Even the food chain information for the visual meat inspection, which has certain limits, shows only farms, where the animals are of good health. Groups of fattened pigs with an extreme high rate of mortality and many abnormalities mean a potential risk for food safety. So for a risk-based meat inspection it is affordable to develop information-systems with real mortality and finding rates and the use of drugs on the farm.
