Implication of clinical pathology in assessment of animal health and in animal production and meat inspection

Implication of clinical pathology in assessment of animal health and in animal production and... Clinical, zootechnical and industrial developments of the last decades have led to new ideas on monitoring systems for animal production and meat inspection. Quality assessment systems, integrated monitoring, risk assessment concerning consumer's health and monitoring for infectious animal diseases, are more relevant today than pathomorphological control of individual subjects. Published papers on investigations to assess slaughtered animals by blood variables of classical clinical pathology and by measuring acute phase reactants, are mentioned. Most papers deal with ruminants giving good perspectives for the acute phase proteins in that species. Only limited literature is available regarding acute phase proteins in swine; zinc and iron have been shown to be of little value for general health monitoring in swine. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Comparative Clinical Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Clinical, zootechnical and industrial developments of the last decades have led to new ideas on monitoring systems for animal production and meat inspection. Quality assessment systems, integrated monitoring, risk assessment concerning consumer's health and monitoring for infectious animal diseases, are more relevant today than pathomorphological control of individual subjects. Published papers on investigations to assess slaughtered animals by blood variables of classical clinical pathology and by measuring acute phase reactants, are mentioned. Most papers deal with ruminants giving good perspectives for the acute phase proteins in that species. Only limited literature is available regarding acute phase proteins in swine; zinc and iron have been shown to be of little value for general health monitoring in swine.
