Summary

This was a project that aimed to describe a standard approach to assessing hide cleanliness in cattle.
Thus, the main output from the project is a draft publication that is intended as a resource for stakeholders who are interested in adopting cattle cleanliness scores as part of their quality management system.
The document is included with this report as an appendix. A second aim was to recommend a process by which the cleanliness standard could be extended to industry.
