Predictivity of Antemortem Findings on Postmortem Inspection in Italian Heavy Pigs Slaughterhouses [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Pigs slaughtered in European abattoirs must be submitted to antemortem inspection (AMI) and postmortem inspection (PMI), as required by the current European legislation in the matter of official controls. AMI and PMI are equally essential to guarantee food safety and to monitor swine health and welfare. However, little is known about the ability of AMI
