Initial tagging of sheep |
- Animals of Slaughter: before 12 months of age single UK tag ( in Scotland must be EID )
- Any others TWO identifiers as follows: - Within 6 months of birth, if animals are housed overnight - Within 9 months of birth not housed overnight

|
|
FCI should provide: |

|
|
FCI- Legislation |
- Legislation in place requires: - Primary producer- - must keep records - Slaughterhouse operators- - Must request, receive, check & act upon FCI - OV- - Must take account of FCI when conducting AMI & PMI - Must feed back inspection data to producer |
|
|
FCI-Legislation |
- Legislation states must arrive no less than 24hrs before animals: - ideally for poultry- plan slaughter schedule - for other species- can come w/ animal - up to FBO as to what he requests
- Guidelines available for what FCI should include: - Status of holding - animal health status - any vet products/tx - any occurrence of disease - any test results |
|
|
OV USE OF FCI |
-OV check & analyses FCI and may decide - if animals have disease/ condition transmissible to humans or animals through handling/eating meat, MUST be rejected for slaughter - May be killed separately under conditions so no cross-contamination with fit meat, then disposed of as by- product - Change slaughterhouse process: - decrease line speed - increase # of inspectors - Slaughter a particular batch last - Detain for further testing (animals/carcasses) |
|
|
Animals with NO FCI |
- OV may permit slaughter: - In such cases the OV must detain carcasses of animals slaughtered in the absence of FCI, and their related offal, pending receipt of FCI

|
|
Collection and Communication of Inspection Results (CCIR) |
- At abattoir FSA only collection of quantitative data
- Conditions of possible animal health and animal welfare relevance (e.g. fluke, pneumonia, mastitis, etc) are not scored as to give a more useful aid to the vet at the farm
- Other conditions may be passed undetected (e.g. prevalence of parasitic infection in the gut) if carcass/offal not compromised |
|
|
CCIR-FSA Duty |
- If inspections (post or ante-mortem) reveal any disease or condition that might: - affect public or animal health - compromise welfare ……FSA must inform FBO
- If problem arose during 1* production, OV must inform: - farmer - farmer's vet - animal health (DEFRA)- if appropriate*
- Accurate recording of findings essential - Electronic |
