What are 4 post mortem conditions that would mark carcass for disposal?

• A. Toxemia; Pyemia; Cysticercosis; Septicemia
• B. Septicemia; Toxemia; Pyemia; Cysticercosis
• C. Septicemia; Pyemia; Cysticercosis; Toxemia
• D. Toxemia; Septicemia; Pyemia; Cysticercosis

Answer: (B)

Postmortem decisions on carcass disposal are driven by findings that indicate the meat is unsafe for consumption due to systemic infection, toxins, or parasitic invasion. Septicemia and pyemia show bacteria or pus-forming infections circulating through the bloodstream, signaling a widespread, unfit condition for the entire carcass. Toxemia means toxins are present in the blood, often from severe infection, which likewise makes the carcass unacceptable for sale or consumption. Cysticercosis indicates tissue invasion by parasite larvae in the muscles, which is a disqualifying finding and typically leads to disposal of the affected carcass or at least the contaminated portions. In practice, these conditions reflect risks that cannot be safely mitigated by trimming or processing, so they trigger disposal to protect public health.
