Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) Any exotic livestock that on antemortem
				  inspection does not clearly show, but is suspected of being affected with any
				  disease or conditions that may cause condemnation of the carcass on postmortem
				  inspection, and any exotic livestock that show on antemortem inspection any
				  disease or condition that would cause condemnation of only part of the carcass
				  on postmortem inspection, shall be handled as to retain its identity as a
				  suspect until it is given final postmortem inspection, when the carcass shall
				  then be marked and disposed of as provided in this Subchapter, or until it is
				  disposed of as provided in this Part.
(b) All seriously crippled animals commonly
				  termed "downers," shall be identified as "Oklahoma Suspects" and disposed of as
				  provided in
				  35:37-11-57
				  unless they are required to be classed as "Oklahoma Condemned" under
				  35:37-11-39.
(c) With the exception of exotic livestock
				  presented for antemortem inspection at mobile slaughtering establishments, each
				  animal required by this Subchapter to be treated as an "Oklahoma Suspect" shall
				  be identified as suspect by or under the supervision of an inspector with an
				  official device in accordance with
				  35:37-11-43(a).
				  The device shall not be removed except by an authorized inspection
				  employee.
(d) Each animal
				  identified as an "Oklahoma Suspect" on antemortem inspection shall be set apart
				  and shall be slaughtered separately from other livestock at the establishment
				  unless disposed of as provided in this Subchapter.
(e) When any exotic livestock identified as
				  an "Oklahoma Suspect" is released for any purpose or reason, as provided in
				  this Subchapter, the official identification device shall be removed only by an
				  authorized inspection employee, and the inspection employee shall report the
				  action to the immediate circuit supervisor. When a suspect is to be released
				  for a purpose other than slaughter, the operator of the official establishment
				  or the owner of the animal shall first obtain permission for the removal of the
				  animal from the appropriate State or Federal livestock health
				  officials.

				  that would make the edible tissues unfit for human food or adulterated, shall
				  be handled in compliance with the provisions of this Section. The suspected
				  exotic livestock shall be identified at official establishments as "Oklahoma
				  Suspect". These exotic livestock shall be held under the custody of an
				  inspector or other official designated by the Board until metabolic processes
				  have reduced the residue sufficiently to make the tissues fit for human food
				  and not adulterated. When the required time has elapsed, the exotic livestock
				  if returned for slaughter, must be re-examined on antemortem inspection. To aid
				  in determining the amount of residue present in the tissues, the Board may
				  permit the slaughter of any livestock to collect tissues for analysis for the
				  residue.
(b) All carcasses and
				  edible organs and other parts thereof, in which are found any biological
				  residues that render articles adulterated, shall be marked "Oklahoma Condemned"
				  and disposed of in accordance with

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
From the standpoint of meat inspection, necrobacillosis may
					 be regarded as a local infection at the beginning, and carcasses in which the
					 lesions are localized may be passed for human food if in a good state of
					 nutrition, after those portions affected with necrotic lesions are removed and
					 condemned. However, when emaciation, cloudy swelling of the parenchymatous
					 tissue of organs or enlargement of the lymph nodes is associated with the
					 infection, it is evident that the disease has progressed beyond the condition
					 of localization to a state of toxemia, and the entire carcass shall be
					 condemned as both unwholesome and noxious. Pyemia or septicemia may intervene
					 as a complication of the local necrosis, and when present the carcass shall be
					 condemned.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
				  Carcasses of bovidae affected with tapeworm cysts shall be disposed of as
				  follows:
(1) Carcasses of bovidae infected
				  with tapeworm cysts shall be condemned if the infestation is excessive or if
				  the meat is watery or discolored. Carcasses shall be considered excessively
				  infested if incisions in various parts of the musculature expose one or more
				  cysts on most of the cut surfaces.
(2) Carcasses of bovidae in which tapeworm
				  cyst infestation is limited to one dead and degenerated cyst may be passed for
				  human food after removal and condemnation of the cyst.
(3) Carcasses of bovidae showing a slight or
				  moderate tapeworm cyst infestation other than that indicated in Paragraph (2)
				  of this Subsection but not so extensive as indicated in Paragraph (1) of this
				  Subsection, as determined by a careful examination of the heart, muscles of
				  mastication, diaphragm and its pillars, tongue, and portions of the carcass
				  rendered visible by the process of dressing, may be passed for human food after
				  removal and condemnation of the cysts with surrounding tissues: Provided, that
				  the carcasses, appropriately identified by the Oklahoma Retained tags, are held
				  in cold storage at a temperature not higher than 15° F. continuously for a
				  period of not less than 10 days: And provided further, that the boned meat from
				  the carcasses when in boxes, tierces, or other containers, appropriately
				  identified by Oklahoma Retained tags, is held at a temperature of not higher
				  than 15° F. continuously for a period of not less than 20 days. As an
				  alternative to retention in cold storage as provided in this Paragraph, the
				  carcasses and meat may be heated throughout to a temperature of at least
				  140° F.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) In
				  the disposal of carcasses, edible organs, and other parts of carcasses showing
				  evidence of infestation with parasites not transmissible to man the following
				  general rules shall govern except as provided in this Section: if the lesions
				  are localized in a manner and are of a character that the parasites and the
				  lesions caused by them can be completely removed, the non-affected portion of
				  the carcass, organ, or other part of the carcass may be passed for human food
				  after the removal and condemnation of the affected portions. If an organ or
				  other part of a carcass shows numerous lesions caused by parasites, or if the
				  character of the infestation is such that complete extirpation of the parasitic
				  infestation or invasion renders the part in any way unfit for human food, the
				  affected part shall be condemned. If parasites are found to be distributed in a
				  carcass in a manner or to be of a character that their removal and the removal
				  of the lesions caused by them is impracticable, no part of the carcass shall be
				  passed for human food. If the infestation is excessive, the carcass shall be
				  condemned. If the infestation is moderate, the carcass may be passed for
				  cooking, but in case the carcass is not cooked, as required by Part 29 of this
				  Subchapter, it shall be condemned.
(b) In the case of cervidae carcasses
				  affected with tapeworm cysts (Cysticercus ovis, so-called sheep measles, not
				  transmissible to a man), the carcasses may be passed for human food after the
				  removal and condemnation of the affected portions: Provided, however, that if,
				  upon the final inspection of cervidae carcasses retained on account of measles,
				  the total number of cysts found embedded in muscular tissue, or in immediate
				  relation with muscular tissue, excluding the heart, exceeds five, the entire
				  carcass shall be condemned, or the carcass shall be heated throughout to a
				  temperature of at least 140° F. after removal and condemnation of all
				  affected portions.
(c) Carcasses
				  found infested with gid bladder worms (Coenurus cerebralis, Multiceps
				  multiceps) may be passed for human food after condemnation of the affected
				  organ (brain or spinal cord).
(d)
				  Organs or other parts of carcasses infested with hydatid cysts (echinococcus)
				  shall be condemned.
(e) Livers
				  infested with flukes or fringed tapeworms shall be condemned.

					 the animal was sick or diseased, or affected with any other condition requiring
					 condemnation of the animal on ante- mortem inspection, or if there is lacking
					 evidence of the condition that rendered emergency slaughter necessary, the
