Colour Atlas of Sheep and Goat Pathology and Meat Inspection

The purpose of this book, "Colour Atlas of Sheep and Goat Pathology and Meat Inspection", is to facilitate the interpretation of sheep and goat pathology and the final disposition of the carcasses at the abattoir level, thereby benefiting all personnel engaged in sheep and goat production and inspection. This 122 page work is a collection of 241 factual clinical and pathological illustrations of sheep and goat conditions and diseases found during meat inspection procedures in the abattoir. Material presented in this work was collected for teaching purposes as a part of a broader study of sheep and goat pathology in Canada. Veterinarians and inspectors working in meat inspection will benefit from this work, as decisions have to be made quickly based solely on visual appraisal, usually without the clinical history of the animal. All clinical and gross anatomical illustrations were selected from sheep and goats that were slaughtered in Ontario abattoirs.
