Meat Inspection

Beskrivelse

Meat Inspection, The Pathoanatomic Basis offers an extensive and detailed guide on meat inspection, focusing on production mammals. Packed with nearly 1500 colour illustrations, it’s an essential resource for professionals and veterinarians involved in lesion diagnosis and assessment.

A thorough exploration of pathoanatomy and lesion assessment in meat inspection.

This book stands out as the most comprehensive resource on meat inspection available today. It combines a solid pathoanatomic foundation with clear explanations of pathogenesis and aetiology, supported by a wealth of colour images and corresponding texts. This makes it an invaluable reference for veterinarians and professionals who evaluate and diagnose lesions in production animals.

The content is structured to support uniform lesion assessment based on current meat hygiene legislation, making it crucial for anyone interested in pathobiological matters. The first two chapters address general conditions affecting production animals, while the next sixteen chapters delve into lesions affecting various organ systems.

Additionally, four chapters cover interdisciplinary topics related to meat inspection, including pyaemia, granulomatous and pyogranulomatous inflammations, forensic pathology, animal welfare, and neoplasms. A detailed index ensures quick access to specific subjects.

While the book focuses primarily on diseases and lesions found in production mammals during meat inspection, it does not cover diseases in game or poultry. However, the principles outlined can be applied to mammalian game broadly, making it a useful tool for hunters, researchers, and others interested in these animals.

All contributing authors have current or past affiliations with the Department of Veterinary Disease Biology at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
