"The 11th edition of Gracey's Meat Hygiene is a hardcover textbook that will be an excellent, practical reference for slaughterhouse veterinarians, food safety inspectors, and meat industry personnel. This book provides a comprehensive introduction for readers new to the fields of slaughter and meat safety, although it is likely to be even more valuable to readers with some experience in those fields."
