Ante mortem and postmortem inspection

  • quarantine
  • condemnation
  • processing in lieu of condemnation under certain circumstances.

1.

The Officer, an inspector or a person acting as an inspector shall make an ante mortem inspection of livestock, poultry and game mammals and birds in any official establishment where livestock, poultry or game mammals or birds are slaughtered for commercial purposes.

2.

Whenever slaughtering operations are being conducted, the Officer, an inspector or a person acting as an inspector shall make postmortem inspection of the carcasses and parts thereof of each animal and bird slaughtered in an official establishment.

3.

The Officer, inspector or person acting as an inspector shall quarantine, segregate and reinspect livestock, poultry, game mammals and birds, and carcasses and parts thereof in official establishments as he or she deems necessary to effectuate the purposes of NRS 583.255 to 583.555, inclusive.

4.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, all carcasses of livestock, poultry, other animals and parts thereof found by the Officer, an inspector or person acting as an inspector to be adulterated in any official establishment must be condemned by the Officer or an inspector. If no appeal is taken from the determination of condemnation, the carcasses must be destroyed for human food purposes under the supervision of an inspector unless the carcasses can, by processing, be made unadulterated. In such a case they need not be so condemned and destroyed if processed under the supervision of an inspector and thereafter found to be unadulterated. If any appeal is taken from the determination of condemnation, the carcasses must be appropriately marked and segregated pending completion of an additional inspection. The appeal is at the cost of the appellant if the Officer, after a hearing, determines that the appeal is frivolous. If the determination of condemnation is sustained, the carcasses must be destroyed for human food purposes under the supervision of an inspector.
