REVIEWS

“The 11th edition of Gracey’s Meat Hygieneis a hardcover textbook that will be an excellent, practical reference for slaughterhouse veterinarians, food safety inspectors, and meat industry personnel. This book provides a comprehensive introduction for readers new to the fields of slaughter and meat safety, although it is likely to be even more valuable to readers with some experience in those fields.”  (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2015)

"The previous edition, published in 1999, was well respected as a reference text. The 11th edition provides all those involved in the farm to fork chain, particularly farmers and their veterinary practitioners, veterinary public health practitioners, meat inspectors and those working in the industry, a definitive description of meat hygiene standards as it stands today."
