GRACEY'S MEAT HYGIENE

Gracey's Meat Hygiene, 11th edition, is the definitive reference for veterinarians working in meat hygiene control. This new edition of a classic text reflects the recent significant changes in science, legislation and practical implementation of meat hygiene controls in the United Kingdom, Europe and worldwide since the 10th edition was published in 1999. This book is an excellent practical guide for teaching food hygiene to veterinary students worldwide, laying the foundations of food animal anatomy, the humane slaughter of animals for food and practical production hygiene. New chapters address the increased concern of operators, inspectors and the public to issues of animal welfare and recognise the role of the profession, and interest from the consumer, in environmental protection.

Key features include the following

* Fully updated new edition, in a refreshed design with colour photographs and illustrations throughout

* Includes new content on meat hygiene inspection covering the components of an integrated food safety management system as well as animal health and welfare controls in the 'farm to fork' system

* A practical approach to health and safety in meat processing is outlined by identifying the hazards and then describing how these can be best controlled

* With contributions from veterinary and industry experts, this edition is both a valuable teaching aid and a practical reference for veterinarians and all food business operators and their staff

Rezensionen

"The 11th edition of Gracey's Meat Hygieneis a hardcover textbook that will be an excellent, practical reference for slaughterhouse veterinarians, food safety inspectors, and meat industry personnel. This book provides a comprehensive introduction for readers new to the fields of slaughter and meat safety, although it is likely to be even more valuable to readers with some experience in those fields." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2015)

"The previous edition, published in 1999, was well respected as a reference text. The 11th edition provides all those involved in the farm to fork chain, particularly farmers and their veterinary practitioners, veterinary public health practitioners, meat inspectors and those working in the industry, a definitive description of meat hygiene standards as it stands today." (Veterinary Record, 2016)
