Summary
Assessment of the Mark IV restraining device and development of work instructions to support the documented SOPs during the pre-slaughter and slaughter management of Australian cattle in overseas markets
In order to help comply with the regulatory framework in July 2011 standard operating procedures (SOPs) were developed for the slaughter of cattle in overseas markets. In addition to the SOPs, a designed and constructed a prototype mark 4 cattle restraining box has been developed and with it a set of SOPS specifically related to the routine use and operation of the equipment.
