Summary

​This manual provides a quick reference to good hygiene practice and the production of quality meat.  It is not a substitute for any regulations that apply and the procedures outlined are recommendations for good practice, based on research in the relevant areas. The information covers the procedures, facilities and personnel considerations that affect the safety and quality of meat and on the welfare of the animals.  The aim of this guidance is to outline common sense practices that are easy to implement in overseas markets.
