DIRECTIONS TO INSPECTORS.
To show how the Serous Membranes are affected. Mark the extent
of the affected area on the diagram of the side.
To show which Lymphatic Clands are affected. Draw pencil
through the names of the glands affected on each side.
To show which organs are affected. Draw pencil through the
names of the organs affected.
Special Observations and result of the Examination.
Detention of Carcases.
Where a carcase is detained a label bearing the words "Detained
for further examination" or, if condemned, one with the
word "Condemned" on it is usually attached to the carcase. This
tends to prevent misunderstanding, particularly when dealing with
large numbers of pigs.
Disposal of Diseased Meat.
Diseased meat and offal is released, under supervision, for
industrial purposes. Prior to release a powerful dye or strong
disinfectant is sprinkled over it to render it useless for the food
of man.
We are pleased to be able to record that we were again successful
in effecting the voluntary surrender of all meat and offal
found to be diseased.
Times of Slaughtering.
Slaughtering occurred in the Borough on all days of the week,
including Sunday, and took place at all times during the twentyfour
hours; as a result, the work of inspection often had to
be continued until a late hour of the day, and also on Public Holidays
and Sundays.
