Meat inspection of reindeer – a rich source of data for monitoring food safety and animal and environmental health in Sweden
Background: This study scrutinized carcass conditions recorded in post mortem inspections (PMI) of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus, L.) during 2015–2016 because of the importance for monitoring food safety and animal and environmental health threats. Material and methods: PMI results were retri...
