Abstract
The post-mortem inspection carried out by the group of official slaughterhouse veterinarians is an important part of the official controls related to fresh meat and, as such, is one of the elements that determines whether or not it is deemed fit for human consumption and Notifiable diseases must be notified.
Slaughterhouses are optimal environments to observe and record the particularities of the varied animal pathology that occurs. This information, if shared, can become a very useful and interesting tool for the group of professionals.
Consequently, a community of practice has been created to also develop the Support Injury Manual for the opinion of fresh meat of the equine species.
The authorship of this manual is official slaughterhouse veterinarians of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Barcelona Public Health Agency, with the collaboration of official veterinarians from other autonomous communities. The content has been conveyed through sheets containing scientific, technical and legal information for each of the diseases and injuries described. Likewise, the sheets are illustrated with images obtained in different slaughterhouses in Catalonia and Navarre.
The purpose is that the cards can be a practical support for the post mortem inspection and an aid for the opinion. For this reason, an attempt has been made to establish a position towards the opinion of meats with the reasons developed in the most concrete way possible.
