It is important to examine the viscera for any signs of disease and this is done by making sure the Duodenum


and Ileum rings are facing smooth side up when placed on the ground the MESENTERIC GLANDS are more visible dotted around the inner circle and should be smooth plasticise texture to the touch and grey in colour not show- ing any signs of enlargement or inflamed if disease free.


The next stage is to examine the pluck for any signs of T.B or other abnormalities


Cut around the diaphragm attached to rib cage and gently pull down the pluck with heart and lungs attached and the remains of the trachea, inspect the lung tissue for hard white calcified lumps which would indicate possible


T.B infection if such was found this should be bagged and the State Vet Notified of your suspicions also if blisters were present on the rib cavity this again would indicate suspected T.B


Inspect the MEDDIASTINAL and Bronchial nodes on either side of the trachea where it meets the lung tissue and the Portal Nodes to the liver.
