“…These findings are consistent with those of Tembo et al [73] in Dodoma, Tanzania, where USD 32,465.50 annual loss due to the condemnation of liver was reported. Furthermore, a high loss of USD 230,088 was reported by Yibar et al [74] in Bursa Province, Turkey. Apart from the monetary loss reported in this study, the amount of liver thrown away could substantially resolve hunger and food insecurity in an impoverished province such as the Eastern Cape where these condemnations are taking place.…”

Food production needs to double, with minimum waste, if hunger and poverty is to be alleviated in South Africa. The condemnation of liver during meat inspection represents a huge waste of a protein food resource. This paper measures the quantity of liver condemned in three abattoirs in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa and assesses the causes and the monetary loss associated with these condemnations. A retrospective study (RS) (n = 51 302) involving the use of abattoir slaughter records from 2010-2012 and a post-mortem meat inspection (PMMI) (n = 1374) was conducted from July to December 2013. The RS revealed the leading cause of liver wastage as fasciolosis (5.95%, 4.48%, and 2.7%), fibrosis (2.74%, 2.37%, and 1.0%), and abscessation (1.11%, 2.78%, and 1.5%) for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 respectively. During the PMMI, the same factors caused liver condemnation in addition to calcification (8.3%, 6.8%, and 3.2%), Cysticercosis bovis (1.7%, 2.4%, and 1.3%) and improper evisceration (4.8%, 12.4%, and 27.1%) for the abattoirs X, Y, and Z respectively. A total of R 343, 330 (USD 45,271.07) was lost due to the condemnation of liver between 2010 and 2012. The further loss of 3290.4 kg of liver was calculated for the six month in 2013, and its financial value was R 59, 227.2 (USD 5889.82). The result of this study provide baseline information on major causes of liver wastage in cattle slaughtered in South Africa as well as the direct financial losses and demonstrate the huge waste of ideal protein food source.

“…Tuberculosis is a serious disease of Egyptian livestock and has been shown to occur in various cities. Many reports demonstrated the presence of tuberculosis in the meat, Yibar et al (2015) showed that the prevalence of tuberculosis in the examined cattle carcasses was1.32% in Turkey. Therefore, the strict control program is required to reduce the prevalence of tuberculosis.…”

“…Splenomegaly, splenitis and contamination were the key reasons for the condemnation of spleen in Tanzania (Mellau et al, 2011). Nevertheless, in some cases in Turkey slaughter house, the hydatid cyst was the cause of spleen condemnation (Yibar et al, 2015).…”

“…These works stated that parasitic and bacterial diseases could lead to excessive financial loss as well as can harm public health. The major cause of meat condemnation at two slaughter houses in Turkey were hydatidosis, fasciolosis, tuberculosis and icterus and their direct economic loss due to organ condemnation was 16.363 USD (Yibar et al, 2015). A slaughterhouse survey was conducted in Fako slaughterhouse, Cameroon recorded that 357 bovine organs out of 1472 were condemned due to parasitic infection with a related economic loss 2505 USD (Kouam et al, 2019).…”

Food animals are important sources of protein of high quality and essential nutrients. However, a large number of carcasses and offals are condemned in slaughterhouse as a result of various diseases. An abattoir study was performed at two uninvestigated regions in Egypt for two years (2017-2018) in order to identify the chief causes of meat condemnation and the subsequent economic loss. A retrospective survey was carried out on the North and South of Egypt, The northern region was represented by Alexandria abattoir and owing to the full lack of information in the Southern region it was represented by two abattoirs; Qena and Aswan abattoirs. Ante-mortem and postmortem examinations were carried out and the findings of inspections were recorded and analyzed. Moreover, the financial loss was determined. Out of 167812 animals were slaughtered in the three abattoirs, 68 (0.04%) animals were totally condemned. In addition to, 3198 (1.9%) lungs, 1447 (0.86%) hearts, 4290 (2.55%) livers, 535 (0.31%) heads, 291 (0.17%) kidneys and 765 (0.45%) spleens were condemned. This work revealed that the economic loss due to meat condemnation in three slaughterhouses was 4529010 Egyptian pound (383063 USD). The main causes of meat condemnation were tuberculosis, icterus, parasitic cyst, pneumonia, hydronephrosis and fascioliasis. The incidence of meat rejection and financial loss in the Aswan slaughterhouse was significantly high. The revenue damage caused by meat condemnations was high in comparison to the amount of local income. The findings of the current work highlighted the necessity for the development of an effective control program for the causes of meat condemnation in Egypt.

“…Regulations require that EBPs be examined by a public health inspector immediately after slaughter and approved to be free from infections (such as fasciolosis, fibrosis, echinoccosis, tuberculosis, hydatidosis and abscess) and physical abnormalities before processing for human consumption [15,16]. If diseases and abnormalities such as bruises are found in any organs and carcasses, the affected parts or whole organs are usually condemned and discarded or declared unsafe for human consumption.…”

The Potential of Animal By-Products in Food Systems: Production, Prospects and Challenges

Abstract:The consumption of animal by-products has continued to witness tremendous growth over the last decade. This is due to its potential to combat protein malnutrition and food insecurity in many countries. Shortly after slaughter, animal by-products are separated into edible or inedible parts. The edible part accounts for 55% of the production while the remaining part is regarded as inedible by-products (IEBPs). These IEBPs can be re-processed into sustainable products for agricultural and industrial uses. The efficient utilization of animal by-products can alleviate the prevailing cost and scarcity of feed materials, which have high competition between animals and humans. This will also aid in reducing environmental pollution in the society. In this regard, proper utilization of animal by-products such as rumen digesta can result in cheaper feed, reduction in competition and lower cost of production. Over the years, the utilization of animal by-products such as rumen digesta as feed in livestock feed has been successfully carried out without any adverse effect on the animals. However, there are emerging gaps that need to be further addressed regarding the food security and sustainability of the products. Therefore, the objective of this review highlights the efficacy and effectiveness of using animal by-products as alternative sources of feed ingredients, and the constraints associated with their production to boost livestock performance in the industry at large.
