Evaluation of buffalo carcasses for conformation bruises, contamination and cuts.
1988
Joshi B.H. | Kondaiah N. | Laksmanan V.
Total of 678 buffalo carcasses were evaluated subjectively for conformation, bruises, contamination and cuts at six different slaughter houses with different slaughter and dressing procedures. Irregular casting of animals and quartering of carcasses on the slaughter floor was found detrimental to the production of hygienic meat compared to regular line casting and quartering outside the slaughter hall or lifting (hoisting) of carcasses for dressing and cutting. Average carcass conformation score was 3.18, indicating a fair grade and scope for improvement by effective culling. Bruising was observed to the extent of 58 percent, contamination with extraneous material to the extent of 49 percent and cuts on the carcasses were observed to the extent of 23 percent. The study suggested that proper care and handling of live animals and lifting of carcasses for dressing and quartering purposes (by way of a semi-modern abattoir system) will contribute to a great extent in the production of hygienic buffalo meat.
