Meat Inspection
The two slaughterhouses in the Borough continue to operate
and the output of carcase meat has been maintained. At the
slaughterhouse dealing with horses there has been some diminution
in the number of these animals slaughtered, but this has to some
extent been offset by increase in the number of cattle dealt with
at this slaughterhouse.
The meat inspection work continues to be carried out by the
public health inspectors on a rota system. Their ready co-operation
ensures that no meat passes out of the slaughterhouses without
proper inspection, notwithstanding that slaughtering often
continues into the late evening and at weekends and bank holidays.
The one knackers yard in the Borough is regularly visited to
ensure compliance with the byelaws and for the inspection of
records.
