Article 15Requirements for post-mortem inspection of domestic solipeds, bovine animals over eight months old and domestic swine more than five weeks old, and large wild game
1.The requirements in this Article shall apply in addition to the requirements in Articles 12 and 14.
2.The official veterinarian shall require that carcases of domestic solipeds, bovine animals over eight months old and domestic swine more than five weeks old are submitted for post-mortem inspection split lengthways into half carcases down the spinal column.
3.If the post-mortem inspection so necessitates, the official veterinarian may require any head or any carcase to be split lengthways. However, to take account of particular eating habits, technological developments or specific sanitary situations, the official veterinarian may authorise the submission for post-mortem inspection of carcases of domestic solipeds, bovine animals more than eight months old and domestic swine more than five weeks old that are not split in half.
4.In low-capacity slaughterhouses or low-capacity game-handling establishments handling fewer than 1 000 livestock units per year, the official veterinarian may, for sanitary reasons, authorise the cutting into quarter carcases of adult domestic solipeds, adult bovine animals and adult large wild game before post-mortem inspection.
