A method of processing offal at an abattoir and a method of diagnosing disease in livestock is disclosed. The method of processing offal at an abattoir comprises (i) assessing the offal for clinical indications of disease or damage; (ii) quantifying the proportion of the offal having clinical indications of disease or damage; and (iii) one or more of determining a health score representing the health of the slaughtered livestock prior to slaughter and determining whether the offal is suitable for human consumption, suitable for animal consumption or not suitable for consumption based on assessment (i) and quantification (ii). The method of diagnosing disease in livestock comprises: (i) receiving one or more image of the offal of the livestock or directly viewing the offal of the livestock; and (ii) assessing the offal for clinical indications of disease or damage; (iii) quantifying the proportion of the offal having clinical indications of disease or damage; (iv) determining a health score representing the health of the slaughtered livestock prior to slaughter based on assessment (ii) and quantification (iii); and (v) optionally providing the owner, supplier or slaughterer of the livestock with the health score, (vi) optionally the health score and/or an explanation of the score prompts the owner of the herd the livestock is from to isolate, monitor, assess and or treat the living members of the herd.

PROPHYLACTIC USE OF BROMIDE TO PREVENT STRESS OR ANXIETY-INDUCED INANITION IN AN ANIMAL PRIOR TO SUBJECTING THE ANIMAL TO A MARKETING OR MANAGEMENT PRACTICE
The present invention is directed to methods of preventing stress in livestock, especially ruminant animals. More particularly, the present invention is directed to methods for minimising or preventing the induction of stress-related or stress- induced inappetence or inanition in an animal selected for a marketing or management practice, including animal husbandry, through the administration of a fommlation including bromide. The bromide is provided in an amount effective for preventing the animal from reducing feed intake, or more generally, from exhibiting reduced growth or productivity from lack of nourishment.
