1 Meat Safety Quality and Veterinary Public Health by Eddie Andriessen

This book has been self-published for over 20 years and is the principal text for meat inspection studies in Australia and as such is essential for anyone doing the Meat Inspection course. Topics include: Food safety legislative requirements in Australia; Food safety principles and practices in the meat industry; Quality assurance principles and practices; Ante mortem and post mortem procedures and practices; Diseases of animals (including over 100 colour pictures); Slaughtering and meat processing of all animals including game; Animal welfare. The book addresses all the competencies for the national meat inspection course by providing clear information and practical advice on meat inspection and food safety principles and practices. Reflecting current knowledge and practices of meat inspection, quality assurance and veterinary public health as practised by the meat industry in Australia today. It is written in plain English with a minimum of jargon for easy learning and understanding. In order to maintain its relevance, it is extensively upgraded every year or two and thus provides a comprehensive, up to date, yet practical guide to meat inspection and veterinary public health issues in Australia. For example, the current 11th edition includes the latest changes to meat inspection that allow for company employed meat inspectors (Authorised Competent Persons) on export abattoirs as well as a detailed explanation of the use of the Product Hygiene index to assess the hygiene of product and processes on abattoirs.
