Pathological Lesions in Swine At Slaughter

Pathological Study of Renal Lesions in the Condemned Bovine Kidneys in Ziaran Slaughter-house

Relationship between growth during the fattening period and lung lesions at slaughter in swine

The examination of lung lesions on fattening pigs at slaughter is a useful tool for estimating the importance of respiratory diseases in a farm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between prevalence and extent of lung lesions at slaughter and the previous pig growth during the fattening period. Data were collected on near of 7000 pigs from 14 French farms, individually ident...

Incidence of salmonellae in fecal samples of production swine and swine at slaughter plants in the United States in 1978.

Nine swine slaughter plants and 19 swine production units were randomly selected for sampling from the six highest swine-producing states representing a total of 64% of the United States swine production. Three composites of 10 fresh swine fecal samples were obtained from each slaughter plant, representing three different farm sources of swine. Two composite fecal samples were collected from tw...

Is the Salmonella contamination of swine carcasses at slaughter related to the Salmonella load in caecum?

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the load of Salmonella spp. in caeca and the carcass contamination in an Italian slaughterhouse. The sampling scheme was designed to be representative of the pigs slaughtered in a day and to estimate a 12% prevalence of pigs highly contaminated by Salmonella spp. (HCP, cecal load ≥3log). Environmental swabs were taken before slaughte...
