摘要：Tuberculosis is a very important zoonotic disease which affects all vertebrates. It is therefore important to carry out ante mortem inspection/examination and they that react positively should be treated. If they are discovered at post mortem, they should be totallycondemned in order to meet up with international standard of meat as contained in the Codex Alimentarius. It is also observed that incidence of tuberculosis in man is directly proportional to the incidence in animals except when the meat is properly examined at post mortem and wholesome meat is released to the market for consumption. It is advisable that adequate quarantine measure should be put in place to prevent meat with disease from spreading into the Country from other country. Thes e measures should include adequate meat inspection procedures (ante and post mortem), isolation and treatment of infected animals.
