Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The primary procedure was to identify those problems which were most amenable to solution by making improvements in facility and equipment design. This goal was accomplished by, (1) visiting a number of slaughtering facilities; (2) identifying problems specific to each plant; (3) arriving at generalized solutions that could be used in a number of different plants; and (4) designing particular facilities and equipment to alleviate the problems. In conjunction with the above steps, a comprehensive literature review was performed. A series of designs, recommendations, and drawings was developed to be used as a guide to the improvement of inspection stations. Finally, selected designs were built and tested under actual field conditions.
