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

    Carcasses of young calves, pigs, kids, lambs, and foals are 
unwholesome and shall be condemned if (a) the meat has the appearance of 
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.
