Check the traceability and correlation of the carcass / offal (where applicable) through labeling / tagging, game dealer records;

• Check the trained hunter declaration

• Inspect unskinned carcasses prior to the start of processing in order to determine cause of death, degree of contamination (not compulsory - considered best practice);

• Perform the PM inspection after the carcass is fully skinned with the respective offal (where available):

– visual inspection and palpation (where required) of the carcase and red offal;

– Evaluate carcase/ offal for degree of shooting damage, contamination and any signs of disease

During the post mortem inspection of large wild game the OV must:

• Inspect unskinned carcases prior to the start of processing in order to determine their general condition. For example:

– To detect abnormalities not resulting from the hunting process;

– To check that death was not caused by reasons other than hunting;

– To investigate organoleptic abnormalities (mould, contamination, etc.). 

Term
Dressing
Definition

should consider: 

 

Deer have fine hair: care during skinning to avoid contamination of carcase
