Abstract
From 1 January–31 August, 1984, 585 samples of fresh, uncooked, frozen meat (12) and offal (573) were subjected to the AGID and CIE comparative serological tests for species identification using commercially produced bovine, ovine, porcine and equine anti-species antisera. Species were identified in 286 585 (48·9%) and 581 585 (99·3%) samples by the AGID and CIE tests, respectively. Single species per sample were identified in 246 585 (42·1%) and 481 585 (82·2%) by the AGID and CIE tests. More than one species per sample were identified in 40/585 (6·8%) and 100/585 (17·0%) samples for the same two tests, respectively. The CIE test was more sensitive and rapid in detecting species.
