Relatório do estágio curricular supervisionado em medicina veterinária área de concentração: inspeção de produtos de origem animal

Abstract

This report describes the activities experienced during the supervised curriculum internship in Veterinary Medicine that was carried out at Frigorífico Silva Indústria e Comercio Ltda., under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Tiago Gallina and the supervision of Federal Agricultural Auditor (AFFA) Dr. Caroline Antoniazzi Wolf, from March 1, 2023, to June 16, 2023, totaling 540 hours of practical and written work. The main activities performed and/or observed in the field of inspection of animal products are described, in collaboration with a team of veterinarians and assistants from the Federal Inspection Service (SIF) No. 1733, with a focus on ante mortem and post mortem processes in cattle. Among the main activities carried out were the monitoring of inspection lines, the final inspection department, and the routine of the slaughterhouse. Regarding diseases, the most common were Fasciolosis and Actinobacillosis, as well as slaughter-related technopathies, such as visceral contamination and ruminal aspiration. Parasitic zoonoses of great importance to public health were chosen for discussion, with Fasciolosis being the main cause of liver condemnations in the slaughterhouse, leading to production losses. The veterinarian is primarily responsible for the safety of food destined for human consumption, acting throughout the production chain, ensuring that only food suitable for consumption reaches the consumer's table, thus guaranteeing food safety.
