Plants may process fallen or dead animals, where animals are recovered and transported to a licensed processing plant within a reasonable time following death before decomposition occurs. If this occurs after normal working hours for the inspector, the animals are to be immediately skinned and eviscerated. The lungs, heart, liver and kidneys of the animals are to be left attached to the carcass. The stomach or stomachs, together with the entire intestinal tract, are to be discarded at the time of evisceration. All carcasses skinned shall be conspicuously stamped with the word "Inedible." The carcasse are to be stored in a chilled room with attached viscera and are to be inspected at the start of the next working day by the approved veterinarian. Condemned carcasses from pet food plants shall be processed only by a licensed rendering plant. All decisions of the approved veterinarian are final.
