Ante-mortem Decision-making

Ante-Mortem Decision-Making is a scholarly framework within veterinary and food safety sciences that systematically evaluates the health and fitness of live animals prior to slaughter to determine their suitability for human consumption, distinguishing itself from post-mortem assessment by its temporal focus on pre-slaughter physiological, behavioral, and epidemiological indicators.
