Sec. 311.28  Carcasses of young calves, pigs, kids, lambs, and foals.



    Carcasses of young calves, pigs, kids, lambs, and foals are

being water-soaked, is loose, flabby, tears easily, and can be 

perforated with the fingers; or (b) its color is grayish-red; or (c) 

good muscular development as a whole is lacking, especially noticeable 

on the upper shank of the leg, where small amounts of serous infiltrates 

or small edematous patches are sometimes present between the muscles; or 

(d) the tissue which later develops as the fat capsule of the kidneys is 

edematous, dirty yellow, or grayish-red, tough, and intermixed with 

islands of fat.
