New Beef Carcass Inspection Slated
Inspection of beef carcasses for
cleanliness—a program devel
oped by the U S Department of
Agriculture to expand current
surveillance of beef carcasses—
becomes mandatory in Federally
inspected plants August 2
Officials of USDA’s Consumer
and Marketing Service said the
new beef carcass inspection re
quirement is an effort to provide
increased consumer protection
It is a quality control program
using statistical sampling to de
tect defects that may result from
improper handling, cleaning or
tnmmg of animals on the kill

development of testing pro
grams so that the industry can
better determine how to de
velop the type of animals it
needs.
He also said that the bigger
cattle have more frame, more
feed efficiency and a little high
er lean-to-fat ratio He said the
Angus industry must improve
both birth rate and size, “but
otherwise the breed is very
sound.”
Lester Burdette, Penn State
University livestock specialist,
stated, “If you’re not in the An
gus business to make a profit,
that’s all right, but don’t come
to me for management assist
ance.”
To increase profits, cattlemen
must, according to Burdette,
sell more calves, use a good
bull to increase the growth rate
of their animals, improve the
quality oi the animal, neither
underfeed nor overfeed, have a
small corral for ease of hand
ling animals and use a set o f
scales
floor and in dressing areas of the
plant
The new program will provide
inspectors and plant operators
with specific standards on how
beef carcasses should be handled
to avoid contamination It will
also give inspectors definite cri
teria for accepting and rejecting
beef carcass lots, based on nat
ionally uniform statistical samp
ling procedures
Beef carcasses must pass this
inspection before they can be
shipped to processing plants,
retail outlets and other commer
cial channels
Richard Whaley, Queenstown,
Md., explained his farm cow
management program.
Fred Frey explained that the
Twin Oaks operation centers
around 200 cows and the farm
has about 500 to 600 head on
hand at any given time.
The herd is a purebred An
gus herd sold strictly to other
breeders as foundation stock
The farm has been breeding
purebreds since 1948, but has
gained national prominence on
ly in the past two years, Frey
noted
Some of the laxm’s outstand
ing bulls have been winners in
recent years in top national
shows.

Officials said many cattle
slaughtexing plants already con
duct quality control programs
which may. under USDA guid
ance, be adapted for this inspec
tion program Such leview by a
plant of its own pioduct must
meet C&MS requirements and
v ill be subject to regular Fed
eral monitoring
Nearly four years of planning
pioceded the enactment of the
new program, officials said
Studies conducted in plants
across the country demonstrated
the need for it Statistical
sampling procedures were de
veloped Federal inspectors re
ceived special training in samp
ling techniques and m techniques
for observing and evaluating de
fects
An in-plant “dry run” was con
ducted for more than eight
months to assure that inspectors
were adequately trained and to
correct problems that had not
been recognized during planning
An official instruction detailing
procedures and requirement of
the program will be sent before
August 2 to all Federal inspec
tors and plants slaughtering cat
