ANTE MORTEM INSPECTION

• At the farm before transportation to the
  slaughterhouse the poultry flock must be examined
  by veterinarian.
• A certificate must be composed on the results of
  this inspection and the pre-life of the flock
• If the certificate is available and it is
  negative and it does not indicate the necessity
  of special measures, the ante mortem inspection
  at the slaughterhouse will include the
  identification of transported flock and control
  of injuries took place during transportation,
  furthermore the examination of dead birds.
• Based on these data and examinations the
  veterinarian decides whether the flock will be
  submitted to normal or special slaughter or
  further special examination.
