Summary

 

This unit standard was reviewed in response to feedback from industry that indicated that it needed to be updated to allow assessment to take place involving a wider range of feral mammals so that it could be used as a basis for licensing meat inspectors to examine feral mammals that are killed in meat processing plants. 

 

At the same time, two new unit standards were developed to cover the examination of camelids.

 

In March 2011, the new unit standards, and the updated version of the reviewed unit standard, were endorsed by the Meat Processing Advisory Group, which included representatives from the meat processing industry and providers.

 

Main changes

 

·      The outcome statements, explanatory notes, evidence requirements, and range statements in unit standard 24502 were updated.

·      Two new unit standards were developed.
